Wish this guy made a chip for the IS350, id buy it with my eyes closed if it were proven to work!

Thank You. The cost of fuel here means big engined petrol engines are unpractical. Really like diesel cars, not noisy or smoky, quick, responsive, economical and easily chipped for added performance.

Suppose the fuel savings make sense if you have to push the gas pedal less to achieve the same performance as before then you'd naturally use less fuel.

That was my whole motivation as I had the car for sale as $150 tanks of fuel was hard to stomach at 28mpg. The added performance and BHP is just a nice bonus.

Will you talk to your guy and see if he'll do one for the gasoline variants of the IS?

Everyone is so touchy on this subject. So quick to demand pics but when pics show up, they don't care anymore. What's the use of asking for pics then?

fixed for ya.

Let's hope the 2.0 is less troublesome than the 2.2 from the Poland factory

Yes no problem, again, i dont know about engines, so not sure how difficult this is, but i do know here, Diesels are the variant that is easiest and therefore chipped the most.

I think his email address is in one of my pics above if you want to email him.

Haha amused me too. I did genuinely just share it as an anecdote! My first thread and i wanted something interesting to discuss. Then i got all these doubters so i found myself tearing house apart looking for that Invoice and going out to take pics!

Ive since filled up and i took pics of Full Tank and Mileage and will do same at empty to work out my true MPG, but mightnt bother now if all the doubters have mysteriously disappeared!

So I assume it's much easier to get worthwhile gains from a diesel than from our petrol engines for some reason? No one has been able to make a decent chip for the 250 or 350. I remember we even had a pretty intelligent and knowledgeable member on this forum (Gernby) who tried, and wasn't able to get much of an improvement.

Either way, even on a deisel, a 30% gain in both power and efficiency with a simple ECU re-map is really hard to believe, with or without pictures. Why would Lexus give up that much from the factory?

What he said.

I can't see the test on dyno.

I have a is 220d and can't find any tuning box in 241bhp in Europe.

In torquetronix you can't find that tuning box.

This is bull****. These fake boxes dont give you anything.
I you are lucky maybe 10 hp and better throttle response.

everyone is still here. you have a diesel which is completely different from the petrol cars we have here in the states or even in japan for that matter. there still is no "chip" or reflash for the 250/350/F
