new here, ecu for IS220d?
Hey everyone, I've lurked here for a while and have seen a lot of good information, and it's about time I ask a question of my own.
I have an '06 IS220d, and my experience with turbo cars in the past has led me to believe that the easiest way to get hp is an ecu upgrade. I haven't been able to find anything for the 220d (also used search and came up dry).
Anyone have any insight? Thanks a lot

What will your piggy-back do for the IS250 and how is that project going for you? It sounds very interesting. I've heard that due to high compression, a turbo kit is unlikely for the IS350. Does the same hold true for the IS250? Or is this something that may be available sometime in the future?

You can read about my piggy-back from the thread in my sig. I'm sure someone will eventually put a really low boost kit on a 250, but I think it will be a total waste. The 250 has even higher compression than the 350, and the cost certainly would be more than just getting the 350.

i know there are some things for the is220d and there are even german testdrives with it. if i'm not wrong its a "chip"tuning from 177hp to 220hp. i'l look it up.tte presents a "chip" for the diesel

for the IS220:
www.hopa-tec.de
you can find also some info about the engine here: toyota-avensis.de.vu
Also for the TTE, they still don't offer anything that you could buy for this engine.

I just "chipped" my IS220d, (google for ventura tuning) it took me about 10 minutes to install the diy kit. (They can do it as well but I didn't wanna drive that far, and they give an "8 day money back guarantee")
Theoretical numbers are : 207bhp and around 460Nm
Even though I can't confirm those numbers I have to say the car just drives better, the extra power is nice to have and even a little addictive.
PS: It costs about 480 Euro's

Whatever these guys are doing, it has to affect fuel directly.

Wow, I didn't know that about diesels. I knew they didn't have spark plugs, but I had no idea they don't have throttle plates. In that case, what could an electronic gadget do for a non-turbo'd diesel that the OEM wouldn't have done themselves? I looked at their website, and they claim to make large gains on tons of diesels. I find it hard to believe that there would have some huge secret tweak that none of the OEMs know about.

goddamit, who would have thought the IS that is the most tunable is the turbo deisel engine ( i knew about the desiel but i guess i missed the turbo part) a 35hp theorital increase is great even though manufactureres almost always overstate their gains
