- It is compatible as is with the basic bolt on mods --decat, intake, muffler. Getting a custom tune will make the most of those though as @mr.suntorytime mentioned above.
- HP will be the same or very similar with those mods, maybe a marginal increase with the Eventuri.
- We were going to...
Do some reading in the modified 2GR community, MR2 community, Lotustalk.com, frankenstein motorworks etc and you will see these engines live at 500+hp without issue, dont just take one vendors word for it either way.
I was assured today that they will have full support and everything is fully functional. There may be updates with software or tuning later one but that will be all updateable if it happens.
Written instructions are coming asap.
They are working on the write ups for them and we will post just as soon as we get the word!
It’s all plug and play, “T’ing” into various sensors and their connectors/harness.
They have been around for quite some time and are tried/true 👍🏻
When we initially heard they were considering doing tuning for these cars we contacted them immediately and did everything we could to help, including a good bit of persuasion to do the V6 cars.
No those mods won’t alter anything enough to worry about with the pre-loaded tunes.
If a dealer sees the kit installed, knows what it is and if they are sticklers they may make mention or note it in Lotus’ system and give a hard time about warranty.
These come pre-loaded with tunes but they have mentioned custom tuning can be done but that would only be available from them.
As things move on we hope to have a couple options like a stage 1 & 2 sort of thing for various mods on the two platforms.
Just Released!
JB4 Piggyback tuning for the I4 AMG and V6 Toyota powered Emira.
Plug and Play type setup.
Wirelessly connected and controlled from your smart phone with the wireless control kit or a wired connection is also available.
Up to 95whp increase on the V6 powered cars!

Nice write up!
For something critical and safety related like this though I would recommend sending the belt assemblies in to SafetyRestore or similar who are professionals with this specific job and have the 100% proper sewing machines/patterns/thread etc. Its only about $100 per belt to get...
The euro system is most defintely different than the U.S. system so the same kit will not work on US cars and solve all of the codes. - just the airbag and seat belt buckle ones.
We have had someone install our drivers side kit on their passenger seat in the UK and it worked so the Euro...
They are supposed to email us as soon as they have anymore info so I will keep you all posted here.
Once we have part numbers, pricing and an eta we could do a group buy.
We will have the Emira fronts & rears from Girodisc available as soon as they are released.
Happy to facilitate an initial discount/group buy if you want to order through us.
The harness used/pictured is a Schroth GT3 ASM harness, not the quick fit one.
These asm harnesses have the sewn in lap belt eyelets that allow them to be bolted into the factory bolt locations with the buckle on the inboard side and the belt on the outboard side. This keeps install nice and...
Maybe someone else can chime in with more pictures possibly.
Its pretty substantial and is tied right into the aluminum chassis at the b-pillars and then has supports that run through the firewall into the engine similar in principal to a roll cage.
I dont think Lotus could pass a crash test...
The car has a built in roll bar already, its hidden under the B pillar trims and the roof liner. If it was a metal unibody car like a Porsche it would make sense to add one but in the case of the Evora and Emira it would be redundant and not really needed unless its a full blown track or race car.
Most dealers wont care but if it comes to warranty the guys at Lotus are pretty savvy and will know that the engine hours dont line up with the mileage.
We have front and rear slotted rotor options in the works currently, they should be ready to roll around the end of the month/early May hopefully.
Fronts are just being restocked, rears are new to fit the Emira.
Rather than making redundant items and spending thousands on molds we have teamed up with @Wendy@Jogon to carry all of their items that we didnt previously offer.
We are doing our best to keep everything in stock here for immediate shipment.
If an item is not currently in stock it should be...
For you track,autocross or canyon guys who want to add a 4pt or 6pt harness to your car we now have a nice easy bolt in harness bar solution!
No mods needed, easy bolt in install.
Maintains the 3pt belt postion
Hand fabricated and tig welded right here in the Reno NV area.

What was the code? Are you sure it wasnt an EVAP leak code? These have been semi common on the Emira's.
A decat can't possibly cause a CEL. It is past all sensors in the exhaust stream (by quite a bit of tubing) There is no chance a o2 sensor could pick up on a exhaust leak back at the...
They are the same exact thing just without their big large blades installed -- we sell them as they come from JQ Madtrace.
We are U.S. based and answer the phone/email :-)
