VF Tuner 3.5L Emira ECU UNLOCKING

[VF Tuner]

Hello,

VF Tuner has solved ECU Unlocking for the V6 Emira.
You do not need to send your ECU to BFlash or outside of the united states.
The ECU can be sent directly to us for Unlocking.
After unlocking it can be flashed and custom tuned.


Thank you everyone!

Didn’t you mention in a post that you could supply a replacement ECU? I’d be interested if that was the case. Can you also map to optimise performance to a specific pulley size as well?

It's possible, but it is going to be expensive.
This solution is going to be a lot cheaper, with minimal downtime.
Results coming very soon too.

I would also like to know what pulley size, headers and Y-pipe combination would give me the most power without beefing up the internals.
I already have an Eventuri air intake, 3rd cat delete and a titanium exhaust.
Let us know why this solution is more expensive and what the price would be.
People always worry that X amount of horsepower will be too much and the engine will blow. My opinion is that if you think 500 horsepower is the limit, then don't launch the car, especially isf the engine isn't at the operating temperature. If the engine is not revving past 7,200 RPM it is also less likely to blow.
Also, with more power there will be more heat created. If you dyno the car and make 10 pulls you will see that that 500 horse power number will decrease due to heat sink. Therefore, if you don't have intercoolers, or other cooling methods, then isn't it safe to say you can add more power safely?
Watch this video of how much power an NSX loses after some dyno pulls and how the power is maintained with aftermaket intercoolers. Over 50 horsepower was lost after the 6th dyno pull. So if you don't add aftermarket intercoolers, then our engine may lose 25 horsepower after some hard runs on a track. I hope some one can make a video on this after adding their intercoolers to get the true numbers. Time to go back to bed and dream of a Porsche track slayer!

The reason I asked the question is because I’m in the UK. I’d rather pay a bit more for a ready tuned ECU as I don’t want to send mine to the US and then wait for it to (hopefully) return. My Emira is a daily driver so that wouldn’t work even if it arrived safely.

I would be looking at doing this once my warranty has expired.

With regards to engine safety, this is of course crucial. Regardless of what people say, the manual V6 gearbox is a weak point. Mine destroyed itself (replaced under warranty) and I know of another that did the same, so it’s not just about the engine. After warranty, I’d be looking to change the pulley and map accordingly, within safe limits (I’m not looking for max power, but something around 500 would be perfect (if the engine gearbox can truly handle that) and a soft limiter at 7200. I may track my a car but it would be very rare if at all. So I’m looking for a simple easy package of ECU, Pulley and specific map to that combo (after a 3rd cat delete) with a 7200 limit that can be fitted all at the same time. I’ve asked a couple of times about specific maps for specific pulley sizes. But not yet had a reply.

I have a V6 automatic. Do you or any one know what horsepower that can handle?

So, the engine is identical to the Evora.

On the Evora we have confirmed:
1. 7400 Rev limit, track tested, no issue. I've personally tracked my evora bouncing off 7400 RPM for hours and hours on HIGHER Boost. We currently have the highest horsepower stock ECU / Stock Engine tuned evora in the world? (7400 RPM, E85, 2.6 pulley) no issues.
2. While a Full bolt on package will make the most power, we *cannot* and *will not* recommend any modification that deletes an emissions component (including catless headers, cat deletes, etc).
3. It is more expensive because the ECU alone is about $1300 USD and according to one of our testers you must get that ECU programmed to the car from your lotus dealer which could cost an additional $400-500 dollars. (USD prices, I do not know what they would charge overseas).

We are happy to accommodate but due to cost and "dealer programming required" you would have to have final touches done at your local dealership.

Can you post the Evora dyno so we can see the curves?

What is the experience with pump gas?

So if this is the same engine as the Evora, are you saying you can get this ECU to 7400 rpms? Looking forward to hearing more.
