We need more specifics of what kind of tune this is.

Geez...I expected tuners from Bergamo to go for it. I'll have to take some time to go meet these guys. I hope I'll be able to by the very end of the year, they're like 500km far from me. I'm no expert at all in tuning and stuff, but if you need me to ask them something (that I can legitimately ask them ), go ahead.

There are plenty of translators

So, I got the Stage 1 ECU swapped over and had a quick spin just now. There is some light drizzle here, so it was just a quick one.

My (400hp) I4 now feels significantly quicker in the mid range. It just picks up so quickly and effortlessly with part throttle in the mid range. It also definitely feels faster than before when you rev it out with full throttle, but I’ve not had a chance to stretch its legs properly and it wasn’t exactly slow before.

I’ve got an 21 M3 performance Tesla that’s my daily. The standard Emira felt like it had similar acceleration to the M3P at lower speeds (Tesla launches off the line hard, it has the Emira beat there), when comparing full throttle acceleration up to circa 80 to 100mph, then Emira pulls stronger at higher speeds. However, at part throttle when you aren’t fully on it, the Tesla has an effortless way to how it gains speed, which the Emira didn’t have. Don’t get me wrong, a 400hp I4 responds well and is quick when you aren’t fully on it, but it needs some revs and a bit of gas to get a move on. With the stage 1 map, my Emira gives me a similar feeling to the Tesla, of just effortless acceleration, without having to try.

My car has an Aerie Sport Cat, Aerie V1 Ti exhaust, upgraded dump valve and a BMC free flow air filter, also now with the stage 1 ECU. Just dropped in a Lithium battery too, which dropped 13kg (~29lb).

Let me know how the Lithium Ion Battery holds up? My buddy had one and it appeared to trip lots of electronic gremlins. If you remember, post back in a few months to see if it's been treating you well.

Why didn't you go all out on the stage 2?

He just brought a whole package of suspension upgrades along with the ECU tuning. It’s better to try how these upgrades improves his lap time so he will know what to upgrade next.

Is it possible to tune each mode separately ie Tour 400hp, Sport 440hp, Track 480hp, or are all of these modes linked.

Not at the moment but map selection is still in part of Ryan's plan.

Comparing the stage 1 to a M3P in acceleration I think it is a pretty good praise, enjoy! I think you will like it even better when you got all the suspension upgrades done at the end of month.

The recommendation is to do the charge cooler upgrade before going stage 2 (which I will likely be doing very soon). I guess they are also reluctant to push things too far, without checking everything on the dyno.

There is also something to be said for not pushing your luck with the power, if you’re using it on track.

Hopefully in time we’ll be able to dial in more or less power by map selection, or maybe a boost controller or suchlike.

I just wanna go all in with 500hp, hahah.

Yes the mods begin. Lots of ever expanding plans

Was he running it on an Emira I4/V6?

I was having some low voltage related issues on my Emira (all kinds of errors, that didn’t seem to reappear after I had kept the AGM battery fully charged with a trickle charger). So I thought I’d give this a try. It’s 60Ah, so plenty of capacity, it was cheap and a direct drop in replacement.

I’ve been running a small 20Ah version on my bike engined track car for a few months already. So far all good, and it out performs the SLA battery it replaced. Much stronger cranking and it’s never run low on charge (unlike the old SLA which was struggling). Weighs less than half the weight of the SLA too.

This battery has an app, can be powered on/off via the app and will turn itself off if the charge falls below a certain percentage. Can monitor battery temperature and charge percentage.

I put an li-ion battery in my V6 2 months ago. It’s not missed a beat and I don’t drive it that regularly. No warnings, no lights etc and loads of power to start the car.
