I am seriously considering participating in this ECU tune. Let me know if you need another 2008 ISF.

I'm interested whether it works with Canadian ISFs as well.....

They charge $1000 for 8 hours in Japan, 1 car will take around 3-4 hours for personal tuning.
If you guys can pay for that, I can get them to come over to the U.S.

Nigel, so are you indicating that if we want a personal tune, if will cost us roughly $500 plus all the shipping fees? Or am I way off here??

If you could drive to SARD's shop in Japan than I guess not

I think the main problem is them needing access to your car, so in addition to whatever they charge for personal tuning, it would be paying for them to come over here, and also paying for lots of dyno time.

I am curious as to what the cost will be for them to simply do the flash if your ECU is sent to them.

Not to mention the other Lexus models that also use the 2GR-FSE motor. I'd imagine that a lot of the initial USDM IS350 research and development costs can be recouped by modifying the code for the other models (3GS, 4GS, 3IS).

That would be great but it is not the case. I don't think the finished version has a price yet but I can tell you that your way off.

That'd still likely require whatever software/hardware SARD uses to be connected to the car in order to capture the data the need to do the tune, right?

I'm sure it will be a bit more, but I hope $500 for a canned tune isn't too far off. I know it's apples to oranges, but you can get a personal tune for pretty much any Nissan (with multiple selectable maps) for around that price. You can even buy the software and cable and tinker around with it yourself if that's your thing.

As far as personal tune vs canned tune, I think canned tune will work just fine, but the price should reflect that it hasn't been tuned specifically to your setup.
