New Product RR Racing ECU Tune
#226
Well it is great that RR has bought a 3IS, this way the cross platform between a GS/RC isn't too far off. The only thing that they will have to do is really tweak out the variable difference in the ECU between the 3 platforms, it could be simple or it something drastically different, only time will tell.

It was supposed to be taken as more of a joke haha. But yeah even though the engines are the same, I can't help but feel like the 2is won't get support for their mods. Idk why, I guess it's just a gut feeling.

Don't worry I got faith in what rr racing can accomplish. Hopefully soon we'll see some real improvements to the 2GR-FSE as a whole across the whole Lexus lineup. Aftermarket cams, superchargers and a transmission tune for the 2IS would be nice

For those of you who've had the tune since it came out... What's your opinion on it now? I'm a bit curious on gas mileage, if it's the same or has it dropped a bit?
edit: Also, in regards to the RPM, if we choose 7k for now, is this easily changed to the 7.2k option if we decide to switch it later on?

So, let's say I buy it now, and down the line they do finally tune our tranny, the new files will be sent out for free? I'm actually tempted to buy the OBD tune @ the $499 sale price later this month, although I really do want to hold out on the tranny tune if possible from RR or TTFS.

Nah I decided to pay my is350 off in full before buying the F. I figured this way I don't feel like I threw away money on my exterior and performance mods on my car. Plus by keeping it I can have my 350 for show (stance and all that) and an F for Performance and track. That's not to say I wouldn't trade in my 350 if there was a great deal to be had on an ISF though Regardless of decision you will see me post my future ISF in the F section on Club Lexus within a year for sure

I think that since the higher RPM option is now available via the OBD tune, changing your max RPM can be done by uploading a different tune file to your car. On the IS-F tune thread, some owners mentioned having the option to go back to a stock tune anytime they like via the OBD tune. I don't have an OBD unit since I had sent out my ECU for the tune. Hope this info helps!
