Good idea on the "more lexus models" idea...
there are a couple turbo boys on here with SC300s that are looking for a good way to remove the revlimiter and reprogram for different sized injectors... when you have a turbokit that makes maximum power at redline; then you know there's a lot of power left to go... not to mention the cams that are supposed to come out soon enough

Smooth(Chris)..
Looks like I'll be purchasing the V2 filter, MAF adaptor, and ECU upgrade for sure next week. Probaby Tuesday. Have you found out about the overnight shipping prices? Email me a total price if possible. Thanks, Adam

Hi Smooth, what is the benefit of your "chip" vs the S-AFC? Also how will it handle the mods a person adds later?
I think you guys at www.lexussc400.com are heading in the right direction...
Q: How many members here are member there too? We should be members at both places IMO... It is a site dedicated to Lexus Sport Coupes.....

Sounds great. I want to buy one, can come to Redondo, but want specific details on performance before buying. I hope you post actual performance changes soon. I have 1996 SC400. Thanks

I agree, saleability is based on HP numbers. Whether it's 10 or 100 hp, no peak gain but a broadened power band, people need a number or a graph before they lay down serious money.
The Apex'i SAFC might be useful combined with this chip.. we will have to see. I may have mine re-installed then dyno tuned.

no, this chip is ignition timing, the AFC would just augment the fuel flow a little. The gains seen by AFC users are not very big. A WRX in import tuner only got 3 extra after a couple of mild mods. I already have an SAFC so I was going to put it to use.
