Sharpen the Edge of Your Lotus

"Simplify, then add lightness." Now... add power.

A Lotus is not just a car; it is the purest distillation of the driving experience. Whether you track an Exige, carve canyons in an Elise, or tour in an Evora or Emira, you know that balance is everything. However, factory ECU tuning often dulls the throttle response to meet emissions standards, leaving the Toyota-sourced powertrain feeling slightly disconnected from the brilliant chassis.

The Stage 3 "Track-Spec" Performance Module is engineered to restore that connection. Designed to optimize the 2ZZ, 1ZR/2ZR, and 2GR V6 engines, this OBDII module sharpens the throttle to a razor's edge and optimizes the power curve, ensuring the engine finally keeps up with the handling.

Telepathic Throttle. Optimize "Cam Lift". Enhance Power-to-Weight.


Why Upgrade to Stage 3?

  • Maximize Power-to-Weight: In a light car, every pony counts. Safely unlock up to +45 Horsepower and +40 ft·lbs of Torque (on Supercharged V6 models). In a 2,000-3,000 lb car, this feels massive.
  • Instant Rev-Matching: Eliminates the drive-by-wire delay. The throttle blips instantly on downshifts, making heel-toe driving on the track effortless and precise.
  • Supercharger Optimization: For Exige S, Evora 400/GT, and Emira owners, the chip optimizes air/fuel ratios to match the boost, reducing heat soak effects and keeping the power linear.
  • Smoother "Cam Switch": On engines with variable lift (VVTL-i), the chip smooths the transition into the high-cam profile, creating a relentless surge of power to the redline.
  • Universal Hethel Compatibility: Works seamlessly with the Elise, Exige, Evora, and Emira (Toyota V6 & AMG I-4).
  • Lightweight Install: Installs in seconds via the OBDII port. No heavy hardware, no permanent ECU flashing.

Smart Tuning for Mid-Engine Precision

Lotus engines are reliable, but stock tuning is often pedestrian. The Stage 3 Tuner brings the "Race" logic back to the ECU.

The V6 Advantage (Evora/Emira): The 3.5L Supercharged V6 is a torque monster, but it can feel flat in the mid-range. Our module advances timing to fill in the torque dip, ensuring you have explosive power when exiting corners.
The 4-Cylinder Advantage (Elise/Exige): These high-revving engines need to breathe. The chip sharpens the throttle mapping so you can modulate power mid-corner without the engine bogging down.

100% Safe & Reversible

We know that maintaining the integrity of your Lotus is paramount. The Stage 3 Performance Chip is 100% reversible.

Track Day Safe: The device operates within the safe thermal limits of the engine. It functions as a piggyback signal modifier. If you need to visit the dealership or a specialist, simply unplug the unit. Your Lotus returns to stock settings instantly, leaving no digital footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this lower the "Cam Lift" engagement point?
No. Changing the mechanical engagement point of the cam requires standalone ECU remapping. However, the Stage 3 chip optimizes the power leading up to and during the lift, making the transition feel much more powerful and seamless.

Will it work on the new Emira (V6 and AMG I4)?
Yes. The chip is compatible with both the Toyota V6 and the Mercedes-AMG Inline-4 powertrains found in the new Emira, optimizing boost pressure for both.

Is it difficult to install in the Elise/Exige?
It can be tight. The OBDII port on the Elise/Exige is usually located in the passenger footwell or under the dash. You may need to contort slightly to reach it, but once plugged in, it’s "set and forget."

Is it safe for the Toyota engines?
Absolutely. These engines are over-engineered for reliability. Our chip accesses the performance reserve that Toyota/Lotus left on the table for reliability in extreme climates, giving you more power without sacrificing longevity.
