Emira I4 ECU Flash Tuning is Now Possible (~510HP Turbo)

[TurboTambo]

Has anyone with this new ECU flash got any real world acceleration data yet? I'm very interested in seeing what the 0-100km and 1/4 mile times are.

365hp I4 got BJ4 tuned to 430hp, now 0-100 came from 4.3s to 3.8s

Not sure about ECU hacked version.

We have a A45S and plan to do calibration comparisons

But unlocking and cloning costs are so high I’m not sure how feasible this market is

What's high? We all pay around $4K+ for a downpipe and exhaust for a slightly better sound, I'd be happy to pay that and some for the ability to tune the car to 500hp!

True, there's nothing more beneficial than a turbo ECU tune per penny spent.
I'd like to pay extra fee if an ECU hacked proved to make it extra 40-60hp, from the BJ4 tuned 430hp now (from 365hp i4).

VF tuner has an interest thread for an ECU clone + tune.

But think he'll need a lot of commitments in order to justify picking up a AMG Emria to experiment on and buildout maps.

Another member stated EST is working on Emira M139 ECU maps, they appear to have good experience with the M139 platform in the Mercedes cars. Would be nice to see VFTuner (US) partner with EST (UK)

Will do that after the raining season here in Guangzhou

From our 400hp version, my stage 1+ has exactly 50 more hp than JB4 Map 4 with a lot more torque that JB4 couldn’t provide. Also if you compare the logs, JB4 will only be able to achieve target boost at the very top end whereas my stage 1+ achieved 2.4 bars starting at 4k rpm. If you are in Taiwan, it’s actually very easy for you to hop over to get it done.

Nice. Cheers

There is a secondary limiting factor for tuning and making big power with mercedes platforms.
The CPC unit.
however tuning these vehicles should be no difficultly for us, as we aren't just some "newbie" tuners. We have tuned and created solutions for some of the most difficult to tune vehicles in the world.

We are happy to dedicate a lot of development to the Emira, but we have (so far) no real commitments from anyone. Unfortunately a "I'm interested" post on the forum we can't consider as a true commitment.
we had many "I'm interested" posts in our Supercharger lid product that ended up with us not even meeting a minimum amount of buyers. :/

@VF Tuner I think you should make this part crystal clear: only orders placed in your web page will count as "commitment", and comments in the forum threads will be considered just that - "comments".

At least, that is what I deduced from the various posts in the supercharger lid thread. I'm not sure if everyone else had the same understanding. Hope this product has a great launch!

I suppose the issue is are people prepared to send you money for a product that you haven't even developed yet???
I'm sure people would be interested if you have a ready to fit, off the shelf product with various tuning levels. You be crazy not to be interested to be honest. This tune would be waaayyy better than any piggyback out there.
Anyway, I'm 100% interested but i still have the issue of starting from the 365hp version.

How's the regular 93 fuel output?
I'm interested to see what's the improvement from my JB4 430hp(365 base) to become.
470-490 without extra hardware (currently only downpipe) would be promising.

I believe your 93 is equal to China's RON 98, just a different measurement. To be honest I dun think JB4 will give you an extra 65 hp, more like 40-50 hp the most with regular fuel. I have a JB4 myself and did a back to back dyno comparing the output with JB4 and my flash tune, the outcome and the log has no comparison. Plane ticket from Taiwan to China is cheap. Stay a week and go back to be the first 365hp Emira with a flash tune.

My tune was built to trick the CPC from locking power (571 nm at wheel but it will only show at 510nm in the ECU), although there is a limit to this trick but it is a work around until CPC is solved.
