Default ECU upgrades "tune"

forgive me if this has been covered before,

but do you think there are a fair amount of gains on the table with this engine?

(i was thinking there might be, as I remember reading the engine was fine revving out to 8k actually, but because of 150k internal longevity policy of toyota, the engine limit was set lower)

Are there any chips for sale? Didnt someone in Japan create one?

Do you anticipate any aftermarket ecu tunes coming out ever?

Thank you.

As far as I know there are no chips made yet atleast in the US. Chips will be made its just a matter of time. There are not a whole lot of F's so big companies wont put their money into it right now. What we need is for someone to give their car to a smaller company to come up with a product and test it.

"Icode" in Japan has been doing something with the J-Spec ECU's... we just don't know what...




They heavily mod Porsche's as well...!!
