Default Take RCF Tune for ISF

Anyone lean this direction or considered the possibility of taking the ECU mapping from the RCF tune and implementing in the ISF after a reflash?

How do you know the maps are more aggressive?

What are you going to use to flash the ISF?

How do you know the maps will work on the ISF?

Why choose this over a standard tune from actual tuners?

Is this even a real question?

Are you trolling?

On a separate note, does anything think the RCF seats and steering wheel will fit the ISF?

The RCF puts more power to the wheels on the same motor, so I assume it is more agreesive.

What are you going to use to flash the ISF?
Novel, and Sard are already flashing ecu's

How do you know the maps will work on the ISF?
This is my question.

I figured since this is a lexus tune it is smart and safe since already tested on the 2urgse

Is this even a real question?
Yes.

Are you trolling?
No

The internals, head design, headers, exhaust are not the same.

Does not officially work with US cars

Well it doesnt..

Tuner's make safe maps all the time. The "smart" portion of the tune is actually the ECU itself.

Is this even a real question?
Yes.
Seriously?

Are you trolling?
No
Are you sure

How to find unicorn ? Google

Go somewhere wild and remote – a forest, a desert, moorland or prairie. Take nothing that might distract you: leave behind the cell phone and the GPS. Wear casual, comfortable clothing, preferably not leather or fur. Wear no scent but your own. Let your thoughts be your own – drink and drugs repel your quarry. Stand and listen, and let the atmosphere permeate you. Forget the trivial concerns of human existence and feel what matters: the life around you; the movement of the air; the scent of the ground. Feel, and Believe. You might feel nothing, or you may feel moved by your surroundings. Don't let nature humble you: acknowledge that you are a part of it and take pride in that belonging. Feel. Believe. In such a way might you sense the presence of a Unicorn. A presence at once bold and timid; ancient and youthful; full of wisdom and naive as a child. Seldom seen and never heard, he will nuzzle at your soul. Don't seek to touch him or possess him. Acknowledge that you have been noticed by a Wonder. You have found the Unicorn.


Now go and hunt one down , maybe the unicorn will tell you how to crack the Isf Ecu

the only thing the RCF engine shares with the ISF engine is the engine block, everything else has been redesigned. Youre way off base if you thought it was the same engine

New or redesigned parts include:
  • Cylinder heads and cam covers
  • Crankshaft: crank pin diameter, connecting rod big-end bearing size and crank counter-weight size are all reduced, to reduce reciprocating weight
  • Crank main bearings and caps
  • High-strength forged connecting rods
  • Pistons and piston rings
  • Titanium inlet and exhaust valves
  • Intake manifold and throttle body
  • Redesigned Variable Valve Timing-intelligent Electric motor (VVT-iE)
  • Revised Lexus D-4S dual injection system
  • Four-into-one exhaust headers and heat insulators
  • Oil pan and baffle plate
  • Alternator clutch system
  • Engine and transmission oil coolers
  • Spark plugs

Digging Into the Metal
  • The new cylinder heads improve the 2UR-GSE engine’s breathing with improved porting and a high-flow/high tumble ratio. In addition, intake surge-tank capacity has been optimized, as have the intake manifold runner length and diameter.
  • The new oil pan baffle shape reduces agitation and hence friction, while new air-to-oil coolers for the engine oil and transmission fluid increase track suitability.
  • The Lexus D-4S dual-injection system has been redesigned, with higher injection pressure of 2,611 psi and improved fuel atomization.
  • The throttle diameter was increased by 10 percent, from 3 to 3.3 inches (84 mm).
  • A new intake camshaft profile increases valve lift and suits the Atkinson cycle, while improvements to the electronic VVT-iE system have expanded its range of operation for increased fuel economy and performance.
  • New four-into-two exhaust headers help reduce interference and hence further improve engine breathing. The larger-diameter exhaust system is designed to reduce backpressure and sound amazing, especially under acceleration. At the same time, the main muffler keeps things from getting too rowdy at lower speeds.
  • As a final touch, the new 2UR-GSE engine has a one-way clutch on the alternator pulley.

Assuming money isn't a factor I wonder how much modification there would be to drop this motor in an isf. Anyone have a clue how much one of these motors would cost?

list price on a isf engine longblock from lexus is around 18k, so a wild guess would be around 22k

But seriously, I would love to get a look at the intake manifold and throttle body.
