Tune
Hello folks, are we ever going to be able to tune the ISF?
I'll be getting header soon for the F and was checking M3 site to see what they are making.
I was shocked to see a bunch making upper 300s to just over 400 on Dyno Dynamics with exhaust, intake, pulley, and a tune. I though they were near maxed out given that they are only 4 liters.
Are we ever going to be able to tune the ISF?
Also the C63s are absolute beasts. Saw dynodynamics in the 475 range...575 at the crank NA?

There will be one when a company steps up to do it. Unforunanetly there are not enough F's out there. It's going to take a smaller company to do it since most larger ones will not put the r&d into it because there isn't enough money to be made. Anything can be done and someone one day will come up with a tune. That's why there are not that many parts available for our cars yet. Right now we need to rely on companies like sikky and elite.

FWIW, the aftermarket ECM tuning for German cars will end most likely with 2012 or maybe 2013 when Bosch starts using their next release engine management. The fun is definitely coming to an end soon.

Not going to happen. Ever. We said the same thing about the 2JZ-GTE. The only way to get the OEM ECM to do something different was to put in daughterboards and EPROMS. Even that was a band-aid. Unfortunately, the 2UR-GSE is going to be very difficult to set up with a standalone. LOTS of time and money. As I said, not going to happen.

GT-R's are pretty rare and those can be tuned. What are the IS-F sales numbers vs. GT-R? Maybe jaslapp1 is right and there aren't enough F's to put the R&D into it.

Like I said search that blue one in Vegas if I recall was repoed. But there is nothing artisan did and they have had a car go to elite and once they got a hold of it they made 150hp more by doing things correctly.

no one with any type of forced induction has had much success tuning the IS F
there's a few of them out there running around but i know they're not running properly
there's several very good japanese companies that have been trying to crack the ECU ever since the car came out. it really has nothing to do with the small qty of them being made, it's the sheer complexity that's hindering it
i went from the automotive industry to the semi-conductor industry and back... i've seen what engineers can and can't do...and cracking the IS F ECU isn't something i think anyone will do anytime soon...
