Default Vishnu products for the IS-F? 25hp gains

Found this post by Shiv on the bimmer forums and was kinda shocked. Didn't know he was working with the IS-Fs.

"Originally Posted by shiv@vishnu View Post
We've actually installed and tuned a PROcede on a IS-F a few weeks ago. Stock, the car made 340whp. With an intake and PROcede, it made 365whp. All on 91oct which is in the ballbark of a tuned 335. The big advantage of the IS-F, as I see it, comes from the 7 speed automatic transmission. It shifts *fast*. Nearly as fast as a DSG. Plus the short gearing makes for a car that uses every single one of its last lb-ft of torque to accelerate. So yeah, it will be a driver's race."

The big advantage of the IS-F, as I see it, comes from the 8 speed automatic transmission. It shifts *faster*. Nearly as twice as fast as a DSG. Plus the short gearing makes for a car that uses every single one of its last lb-ft of torque to accelerate. So yeah, it will be a driver's race."

LOL yeah I saw those mistakes too and was wondering how he could have made them had he spent enough time on the car to tweak out 25hp.

Hmm those numbers sound kind of hard to believe. Well I hope Vishnu continues R&D on the IS-F. Was that on bimmerpost.com? James can you provide a link?

Thanks, the post is a couple of months old, and I see no mention of the IS-F on their website. Wonder if Shiv is going to pursue this project.

I'm thinking it's just an A/F thing to lean out the burn a little. Our cars are almost 11:1 A/F ratio which is REALLY rich considering it's DI.

Vishnu makes great stuff. Im glad to hear the IS-F will be getting some serious mods soon. They'll prally charge $2000 bucks for it though hehe. but whoever buys an IS-F should be able to pay for these expensive mods.

I heard Vishnu was doing R&D quite a while back. Im assuming its just a chip to lean the engine up like some other guys said. Either way. This is one Lexus that is demanding some attention and it is nice.

I tried calling Vishnu but they are in attendance at the SEMA event. I'll try to give them a call next week to see what's going on.
