thank you for your responce, it was very detailed much like your work.
on a side note i think you are one of the last insipations on this site as far as monster power and extreme knowledge is concerned. one day i hope my car ends up in your hands. thanks again for breaking us all off a little piece of your brain
So your letting the stock computer control the vvti? Does it control it well with having a turbo on there?
Also are you using the maf as a blow through type? stock maf?
Yes, stock ECU to control VVTi. It actually does a pretty good job. For the MAF, it's running as a blow through with the BOV located before the MAF. Never put your BOV after the MAF as this will will cause a engine stall condition whenever you "blow off".
As for how well the car runs. I will be posting some new videos when I have time. It runs very smooth and the power is very strong. Like I said before, all of the magic is in the tune. I've nearly mastered tuning the Lexus ecu for these cars and I can get the tune down damn near like OEM. No check engine lights, and zero codes...just like a stock turbo car should be.

Is the ISF seats any lighter than ours? rip the seats apart and put unobtanium skeletons and reupholster them.
I seriously wonder how the lfa would do with turbo....
I got the seats mainly due to the fact that they have nice fat side bolsters to keep you in the seats during hard cornering. Don't know how much lighter they are, but I'll weigh them both side by side when I get them in. I don't mind if they're not much lighter, I'm getting these for the bolstering increase while still being able to maintain some sense of Lexus comfort lol.
The LF-A stock probably wouldn't hold up too well to boost. It's a pretty high compression motor to begin with. Now, we'll be talking power if you throw some lower compression forged pistons in. But who here can afford to tear into a $100K+ engine?

Some crazy ***** out there will turbo it, its bound to happen.
as for you sir, you well deserved teh F badge, sick clean car!
this is awesome. I have the exact same car(minus all the upgrades) but i am seriously thinking about taking a trip to texas and letting you work on my car jeff. i dont think i would trust anyone else with it lol
I don't think he's hating , he's just trying to get some dyno #'s... If I made a claim of 450whp, I would have to have my dyno sheet to prove nay sayers wrong.
