Emira ECU Flash Tuning is Now Possible (~510HP Turbo)

[VF Tuner]

The bFlash unlock is only valid when using bFlash tuning tools (bFlash Master) right?

Correct.

Likely the best case for folks would be like this:
> Ship ECU to tuner > Tuner ships to Blfash > Blflash returns to tuner > Tuner tunes ecu > Tuner returns ECU to you.

how many folks (stateside) would be interested in us working on a full tune for this car?

Going to be an arm race soon with all the tuners. I'm in for a ECU tune.

In stead of everyone responding perhaps we use a [thumbs up] on some emote to count interest.
Or VFTuner start a new thread to gauge interest. People like thread titles like 'Group buy'

Yea that's the thing. Emira community is small.

. Emira community is small. If we have to all fight for the tiny group of customers it's just a bad investment for us to go buy a development car.

Completely understand.
Your in a tough position.
JB4 guys were basically 1st to market at a reasonable price for most and partnered with Greg; probably saw a lot of sales. Lots of people probably jumped even knowing that an ECU option would be an option one day.

Well.... I am sending a brand new OEM ECU to a tuner here in the States. The guys he collabs with in Italy said "oh yeah we can do that"...
Any i4 owner in Oklahoma want to participate in some R&D?

Not trying to spoil it, but tuners in China had more than a few times with this "oh yeah we can do that", hopefully you have better luck than us.

BFlash has not confirmed support yet....

BFlash has not confirmed support yet....

Officially no. But they can do it. There's a catch, the ECU must be open for disabling RSA encryption. I still prefer the first approach of reading immo data and clone it to an unlocked MG1 from the A45S. I've tuned a few of those A45 S with M139 and the potential is huge.

even then it still likely needs to be sent out for an unlock.

it's not like the much easier Merc ECUs where cal data is just directly flashable, no unlocking need


if Emira guys are willing to commit to work with us I will go buy an i4 Emira right now, figure out all the cloning requirements myself, put it on our dynapak, and build out an amazing calibration.

VF Tuner - i4 ECU tuning interest thread

Hey folks. We are looking now to grab a i4 Emira to do development on now that ECU tuning is possible (cloning/swap/unlock) looks like a few options will be possible. We'd like to know how many people would be *legitimately* interested in a solution from us. VF Tuner will take care of...

www.emiraforum.com

we will be looking at offering it with our VF Tuner wiflash device as well so you can swap maps over the OBDII Port like we do on Mercedes ECU Aston Martins.

I bought a hexprog II and a45s amg ecu and trying my luck on cloning. If I can clone, I will most likely send it to vf tuner for further tuning.
