Just FYI..... D3 Performance and Tune by Loi can do a Performance Tune to any Toyota/Lexus ECU. You can look up D3's number and call them. You have to FB message Tune by Loi.

I heard from Loi who is working with them for tuning. Loi hasn’t shared any numbers with me yet, as boostlogic probably doesn’t want him to. Adding a supercharger will likely have some negative consequences as any other aftermarket parts would. I’m sure supporting mods will give the LC much more power with the supercharger. I’m just excited to see that they’re actively developing it.

The air/fuel was nearly perfect on that run - I'm sure he'll get rid of that spike to 12.0 though.

Too bad there's not a boost gauge to see or else I could tell you what the resultant horsepower was.

Alright, I read the comments from the dyno's page, and they are saying it's a Whipple supercharger, and the engine is putting out an additional 100 horsepower at the wheels. That means they are running approximately a very conservative 5 psi of boost.

So that is 500 hp at the rear wheels - very nice!

If that''s the case, we're looking at approximately 560hp at the crank - almost a 200hp increase? Am I wrong?

Stocks is 471 at the crank. If it's putting 500 to the rear wheels then it's probably something more like 590 at the crank. So something like 120 extra HP at the crank. Drivetrain losses appear to be about 15-20% based on the dino results I've seen.

Had a brain fart - completely off on my calculations. Yeah, about 104 to the crank since I was calculating a 15% drivetrain loss....🤦‍♂️

Boost Logic has been telling people that for at least a year or 2.

“Follow us on Facebook to learn when we launch a new product” always blows my mind from any business, no matter how small. Find a 13-year-old kid to run your email marketing, or fire your marketing manager if this if their job and they can’t do it right. Most people have no desire, and some no ability, to skim Facebook posts for a possible product launch that’s years overdue.

You can almost bet it won't be available in Ca.
