Emira V6 Manual "Auto Blip" Downshift Rev-Matching

[Speedy Emira]

They use a different ECU.

They use Syvecs but I am unsure if there is even a way to input that data if the gearbox had an output. There has to be something because the dashboard shows what gear it is in but I can't see anyone developing this for the limited amount of owners requesting it and what they would be prepared to pay.

Says flatshift and autoblip is included by default, and specifically mentions "all Lotus Emira V6"... 🤷‍♂️

The gearbox doesn't have an output for that, the ECU infers the gear from the RPM and wheel speed.

Imho, if you don't want to do all manual things manually, get the DCT. I wanna do my own blips... 😁 That's my whole purpose for this car. (Still waiting... )

But the car having more features is never a bad thing. If you don't want to use it, simply don't turn it on? Zero downside to allowing more owners more choices.

There's an argument for that for sure... but the counter argument is that Emira purposed as analog and immersive for the driver, so those driver asst features available on so many other makes maybe are purposely omitted on a pure analog car with modern amenities in the interior. Insee both sides for sure...

Downside: added requirements always mean added cost and weight

Doesn't feel like that applies in this situation, given that a) this is an aftermarket modification, b) they're throwing the feature in at no cost (or rather, leaving it out wouldn't necessarily reduce the cost), and c) it is software, which doesn't add much weight in my experience

Well they say a byte weighs an attogram, and that adds up.

Totally agree, very small impact if added on aftermarket. I am sensitive to requirements creep in my professional life. I was looking at it as an original requirement, where the requirement drives a different control system then snowballs into many different systems suppliers.

Another option to consider -
We carry and have helped develop these kits for the Evora and V6 Exige - GRP Blip Module
We plan to test and fit one to our shop Emira once it arrives.
Depending on if things have changed much from the Evora as far as tps connectors etc it will hopefully be a pretty easy adaptation and we will have them available soon.

Auto blip is a really nice to have. I used to do rev matching, heel & toe with my Evo X, but moved onto Supra MT. The auto blip was so good that I never heel & toe myself.. Perhaps I got lazy with the new tech.

Would this work if someone had a JUBU 500 upgrade that used a Syvecs ECU?

Jubu‘s Syvecs ECU options have the Autoblip function if you want it, Juergen at Jubu confirmed this to me a couple weeks back….

It would be handy to have when really pushing on. One less thing to get wrong. I think hey could implement it easily enough in the menu. i.e if brake and clutch pressed > blip. I had an Ecutek car map that did this and it worked well. I doubt we'll ever see it though.

We setup the Xineering unit with a on/off switch on the steering column in our shop car so for cruising around you can have it off and then an easy flip on for the track/canyons etc.

Do you have this on your Emira?

Not yet but we will be testing soon.
Need to verify electrical connectors/connection and then function.

I've been using the auto rev match on my Nismo 370Z for a few years. Turned it off to start practicing again for my Emira. Feels like I can't even drive a manual anymore


I am sort of happy the Emira doesn't have the option. So I won't fall into the same trap.

That's true. After 1 year my heel & toe skills are getting rusty too
