I really hope I'm wrong, but perhaps they are not releasing any info because the gains are minimal for the price they'll be charging. I will definitely need proof of the gains before purchasing it.

I know this community has been strung along for years with claimed tunes that never actually come to fruition but daaaaang... the amount of whining and hating going on in this thread is whack.

I don't know how we convince a tuner to come forward and release a product for our niche community but i'm guessing it doesn't involve everyone talking crap about them with no info or proof of what they have or don't have to offer...

They said end of May or June... it's not end of May, so i'm not sure what we're speculating over?

The thought of tuning the F is so groundbreaking and awe-inspiring that we all revert to the behavior of our teenage years in which we desired answers and instant gratification--yes, tuning a stock Ecu of a Lexus/Toyota is THAT amazing.
So, our speculation and whining is easily justified

This goes beyond the ISF platform for me... Companies have been leading me on since the Celica/Mr2 3SGTE days (shoot I still go through it). Its not just the ISF ecu, its the entire Toyota lineup.

I heard story after story after story, threads that would go on for YEARS with the result ALWAYS the same, the companies just gave up and stopped posting.

Tell me about it, I hear about LC Engineering's stuff for the 22RE and I still haven't seen videos of these damn 22RE's running their products, especially their $5k race motors they put together. 2013 and not a single video.

so yes, I can see how it's the Toyota line up.


As for the forum getting on these tuners, maybe it's just them setting a bar that they're expecting the tuner to leap up and beyond, because the first thing they want to see is something that is actually proven.

No, I am not an ISF owner. But I soon will be one and it would be great to find out by the time I get one that there is tuning options out there. But I am not holding my breathe. After all the research I have done, and after all the companies promises......I understand it won't happen.
We have not released the product on the market yet. We are finalizing the tune which means we are not completed with it yet. We will release dyno sheets and results once we have finalized the tune, and hardware.

If this was an easy thing to do, everyone would be doing it.

The post that we're going to see soon is that the project has been abandoned because the tune didn't yield the results they wanted.

Back to square 1. Lesson? Want to really tune your car? Buy German.

Hopefully HGMS doesnt mistake our eagerness for results as a lack of respect for what they are doing. Alot of us are trying to be patient. If only we have something to look forward to,even if its just some numbers or an idea as to what the unit does or even a price at this point. It'll feed the curiosity of the people for the meantime... right? We're almost halfway through the month and patiently trying to wait to the end to see the finished product. Just give us a taste of what you guys have in store... please?!? LOL

I did notice one thing. HGMS is now a Vendor so thats a good sign right?
