I feel a lot of this.
The reality is we don’t have good options rn.
Anyone yolo’ing into jubu600 🫡. God bless you, you beautiful bastards. Laika ain’t got nothing on you
We need to build
Mike, you’re being unfair. It’s impossible to know what gas you’ll find somewhere until it’s too late. This is the sort of Monday morning quarterbacking that really grinds my gears. You act like someone could just check before hand. Absurd.
well said.
The emira has been out for 4+ model years...
I’m color blind so this is a bit hard for me to interpret, but super impressive.
Is it fair to assume a fairly linear progression for each 0.1” decrease?
If 2.7” yields 39hp gain vs 3.0”, we might then expect each 0.1 to net 13hp?
Just thinking about this. The numbers from VFtuner lid dyno do show something closer to the claimed power from BMS.
378 vs 442 at wheels, no mods just jb4 (+64) on map 1 (unconfirmed but that’s what vftuner thinks)
Even if its map 2, 3rd cat delete and eventuri intake should be good for 15 whp...
With all due respect, they detonated a client’s car, while building their “supercar vibes car” using marked up parts from other websites etc. that isn’t sneezing wrong. It’s brutal.
If I performed like this at work I’d expect to get bashed.
it’s true, and aerie has revised the design since the failures, at least once (v2).
Idk if any v2 have failed.
I don’t have any personal experience w the part
Have you done 3rd cat delete yet?
I’m no expert, but it doesn’t seem like big power is coming from swapping catback on this car.
The damn exhaust manifolds are the problem.
But 3rd cat delete is easy money for sound and power.
Appreciate all the info you share on here, as always. Really rare opportunity to learn.
I’ve got a whole outline parts producers and sourced and everything from your posts which I’ve never done in my entire life.
If I wasn’t absolutely devoted in all ways to maintaining the fidelity of the...
The thing is, though, they aren’t in reality sitting higher. I manage money for one of the wealthiest families in Austria. Dude has an f40 lm. I’m not sitting here trying to bully Jubu name drop Blah blah etc. I’d never even consider it. it’s just silliness.
Just feels like (as the kids would...
Martin’s response there is brutal. He won’t divulge the material of the parts he sold, that he doesn’t even make. There’s no way he had an NDA w the manufacturer.
It’s one thing to mark up a product and sell it w flowery words for whatever price the market will bear. Fine. Capitalism.
But to...
I was in Europe when I bought my parts from jubu. Including Vienna less than 2 hours from their hq. I asked if they could deliver to my hotel in Vienna and provide me the paperwork to get VAT refund at airport. This would have effectively avoided international shipping and perhaps even… other...
I thought I read that they connected the gearbox cooling to the radiator rather than the intercooler, which actually probably leads to higher oil/coolant temps but lower intake temps and more (or at least more consistent) power.
Perhaps im confused.
I feel this. Had to force back a 600lt spider bc it leaked thru roof in rain storms. Cpo car, 4000 miles. Dealer said warranty didn’t cover damage from leaks or making the car watertight. On a car that expensive.
Fully insane
I hear you on a P&L basis.
However, strategically, If geely doesn’t keep the brand’s “street cred” alive, they are essentially forfeiting the asset.
I think that’s their primary focus with lotus in general. A platform to charge near exotic prices.
Thank you again.
Would this require any ecu tuning to make work?
Would we expect JB4 to work with smaller pulley?

I notice you’ve mentioned Jokerz a few times, which hasn’t been very broadly discussed on these forums. What’s your opinion of their work?
Your posts are among...
Turbo or na?
My vote is ford voodoo. NA, Big power, flat plane, lovely redline. Has solid reliability issues which feels about right for our beloved lotus
