Emira i4 with 509hp/633Nm

[Dirtymix]

Hi,

I will receive this week my i4 emira and since the beginning, as it was the m139 engine, i have in mind to tune it like the a45s where it come from.
Maybe it is easier to work on the chinese version which come with 400hp stock ?

I saw that IG post :
Pretty impressive result! What are your opinions about it ?

Great to see performance developments for the i4. Be nice to get a drivers review of how the car drives with all the modifications.

It's encouraging to see that companies are prepared to put in the work on a relatively small potential market. Working from their numbers, I'm assuming they started with a 400bhp engine. It would be interesting to know if the 360bhp variant would also make the same numbers with the appopriate piggyback.

I see it includes a OPF Delete which would be good for sound but bad for compliance here in the UK as it could lead to an MOT fail on visual or emissions checks.

I think the 360 and 400hp engine are the same, it is just detuned for UE tax and V6 marketing.
And yes about the opf delete, I think the same, would be great to have a good compromised to keep the car legal.

I need this
How long until a plug in chip is available, so we don't need to take the car into a tuner. Not much choice here in Western Australia!!

Unfortunately that is not the case. I know the owner, and obviously he was scammed by the shop using calibrated data. Simple truth is that a Racechip will not get you anywhere near 500 hp, it is just common sense. My tuner did a few pulls with the Racechip on a Mainline dyno, the best you get is around 25 hp, which is around 30-40 hp for other dyno machines since Mainline is known to be conservative.

If you want a faster 0-60, replace your seats with CF ones and a set of light weight rims, you should be able to get down to 3.5 as my tuner did.

That's annoying... i suppose we all just need to wait for the ECU to be cracked.
