    I haven't been able to drive as much as I'd like to, but today I was out driving around and I noticed the car suddenly seemed to be pulling a lot stronger. I've been driving around on Map 2 for about 2 weeks now, and I look at the trip odometer and yep... it's been 106 miles since I filled up...

    Any Members in Hong Kong?

    Of course I could find a local shop, but I've bought several products from @Aerie which I've liked, and I prefer to support our forum vendors if possible. Cost IS an issue insofar as I'm not looking to spend $10k. Since Aerie already has the headers, and makes exhausts for the Emira, I thought...

    I told Jason what you said, and he said they only have i4's. Do you know anyone who has a V6 they could look at?

    I have Jason's number at Aerie. Would he know what Boomgear is? If I say to contact Ryan at Boomgear would he know who that is?

    Any Members in Hong Kong?

    Are there any forum members in Hong Kong? I'm looking for someone who could take their V6 Emira to @Aerie for measurements to make a dual exhaust system.

    I can't remember where (it might have been Aerie or Valvetronic), but there was a post that showed the full headers with y-pipe and titanium exhaust delivered 21 hp on a dyno. The y-pipe is the problem. It's forcing 6 cylinders to output into a single pipe, which creates a lot of...

    Well I sent the drawing to @Aerie, but Jason sent back pictures of the stock setup and said it couldn't be done. I sent more info for him on what to do to make it work, but he hasn't responded in a week, so I'm going to post my drawing in here. This is a system that would use the factory...

    Is the bracket the y-pipe's bolted to, the piece where the red arrows point to? Is that all one piece?

    Lotus Emira Track Car (Not a show car)

    I have the delete and a titanium exhaust, but the bottleneck in the system is the y-pipe. I have a true dual setup designed with X crossover section, but I haven't been able to find out what the diameter of the smaller tubes of the y-pipe is, and what that bracket it bolts to is bolted to...

    Lotus Emira Track Car (Not a show car)

    Well this looks epic lol. Since you don't have the diffuser on, can you tell me how much space there is in the cutout of the frame where the y-pipe goes through? Two more things... what is the diameter of the header pipes coming from the engine, or the two smaller ends of the y-pipe, and what...

    Something I noticed after doing the delete, is before with the 3rd cat in place, on a hot day the water temp would hit 200F and stay there whether I was moving or sitting still. After the delete it still hits 200F if I'm not moving, such as sitting at a red light, but as soon as I'm moving the...

    Emira V6 - Bolt-ons, Catalytic Converters, and Passing Emissions

    I'm in contact with Aerie at the moment to build a true dual exhaust system that can use either the factory exhaust manifolds, or the motorsport headers Aerie sells. It will have the option of adding two sports cats for those that already have or buy the motorsports headers. It will come with...

    I sent the drawing to @Aerie and I'm waiting for Jason to respond. Hopefully he's still there. I don't know that he's on this forum all that much anymore. Hopefully he'll respond soon. If he doesn't, I might share the drawing on here. It'll absolutely work, I just don't know about the...

    Emira JB4 Tuning Now Available for I4 & V6 Cars!

    Something that needs to be taken into consideration is the JB4 tune was developed specifically for mr.suntorytime's car, which was already modified with a GRP intake and 3rd cat delete. His baseline run was not for a stock V6 Emira, it was the baseline for HIS modded car. Due to the variable...

    The space is so tight it's difficult to do what I want to do, but I have two ways of going with a crossover pipe. I'd prefer an X pipe, but the H pipe would be easier. Either way is going to require 2 flex sections which is also a bear trying to figure out how to manage that due to space. Is...

    Got the larger shift knob from @mr.suntorytime which is 51mm vs the factory 46mm. In addition to the larger size, it has a little more heft to it, and the extra weight helps when shifting. I used a .5 lead mechanical pencil to add a little contrast in the bottom of the lettering. I also got...

    3rd round of Redundancies at Lotus 😞

    This is not good. I was wondering if the reason why Matt stepped down and left Lotus was because Geely said they're going to shut down Hethel, and he said basically if Hethel goes he goes, and they said c'ya. This will be a huge mistake. Losing Hethel and moving production to somewhere in the...

    Leaky windows

    Your car leaks water through the window when it rains? That might need an adjustment for how far the window goes up. Did you take it to the dealer for that?

    After watching the excellent video by getawaydriving on YouTube, I started thinking about what my real use/goal is for my car. I've always modded every car I've owned to make improvements, and because I enjoy modding. For the Emira I'm not taking it to the track, so max performance isn't...

    If I remember right, you got Aerie's y-pipe didn't you? Do you still have the factory y-pipe? If so, can you do me a favor and measure the I.D. of one of the two pipes that connect to the exhaust headers? Thanks!

    It's behind the plastic where the green arrow is pointing to. Unless your hands are small, I found it easier to reach (and replace) after I removed the fuse box covers which are the 2 pieces covered in white sticky paper. Push the small triangular piece on the bottom towards the back and...

    I wasn't talking about SAE correction for dynos, I was talking about SAE engine certification which has a very strict tolerance. If I remember right, it's 3% which is not 3 above or 3 below, it's no more than 3% from the stated power rating.

    Of course the absolutes can't be compared. Due to the MANY variables, all of it is relative anyways. I look for ratios and percentages. I'm up at 2,700 ft altitude here, so the results I get are going to be different from what some of you on the coasts get. My baseline number is relative to...

    Shmee and the Evija…

    After watching the video with Gavan and Shmee in the Evija, my overall impression is it's an exhausting car to be in. It costs so much and has so much power, it literally feels like it just overwhelms the roads it's on, especially English roads. I didn't really like the sound either. It gave...
