Lotus Emira V6 ECU Tune - Bench Flash

[MIGZ]

Anyone waiting on an ECU to arrive for installation and testing ?

 

[sbproducer]

I would send mine in if I wasnt still waiting for headers..

I bought the package before end of month to get the flash tuner, planning to pull ecu second half of this month when I have time.

I purchased a couple of weeks ago and am still awaiting instructions on where to send the ÉCU. Lack of communication is sadly “very Lotus”. Info please @VF Tuner

we had planned to email this out after the pre-order had finished. But I have a family emergency I am attending to right now and will get back with everyone when I return.

Hope all goes well

Ok. That’s all I needed to know.

@VF Tuner Do you think your tune will map to the 3 driver modes? Currently power seems to be progressively less restrictive from tour to sport to track. Something similar would be great. Tour certainly doesn’t need the full beans and higher rev limit, as is only a cruise mode for me. Perhaps 91 octane for tour/emergency fuel and 93 for sport and track?

anyone running this yet ?

So… how far are we with this!? @VF Tuner… so much hype yet again nothing.. we suppose to hear something by now I believe as the ecu was shipped to you.

Think he has a family issue at the moment.

He wrote a few posts above that he has to take care of sick relative. Is OOO until 10/21.

the BFlash unlock alone is a 1-2 week turn around, afaik, Mat doesn’t have any unlocked ecus yet on hand. I know a few have been sent to bflash.

We will simply need to have some patience here

 

[VF Tuner]

I am out of office (working remotely) until 10.21.

We are also working on our unlock process (ECU still needs to be shipped to us, but won't have to be shipped overseas)

Features and gains
- No more "hitting the wall" rev limit. You can bounce off the limiter
Est gains:

Stock vehicle : 50-60hp gain
Stock pulley + bolt ons 70-90+hp gain

• 2.8 pulley + bolt ons 100-130+ HP gain
• 2.7 pulley + bolt ons 120-150+ HP gain
• 2.6 pulley + bolt ons 160-200+ hp gain

Can the engine handle the (160-200+hp) additional power reliably, or would it require internal upgrades such as forged pistons, camshafts, or head studs?
I know JUBU runs a fully built engine packed with performance components, but that setup costs more than half the price of the car.
From what I’ve read, the factory pistons are typically rated to handle around 430–460 horsepower before entering potential failure territory.

search for Jubu thread, find enlightenment

It’s never a bad idea to build up your engine. Since it’s a Toyota 2gr-fe engine, you can find performance forged parts cheaper else where

the engine can handle much much more than 460 horsepower.

Otherwise all these Emiras using the JB4 would have blown up already.
