JDM or European HP ratings?
What is the differences in HP/TQ on the JDM and European is-f's. I know the JDM has a more aggressive tune however i have found that its also speed limited to 110mph. Icode and Blitz have speed govern eliminators. Looking for some info as I think i feel an experiment coming up

Lexus japan quotes the JDM IS-F as making 311kW which converts to 416.89HP.

It's my guess that the ECU's are tuned the same..
All that changes is the language in the Tuning and probably lots of other stuff that communicates with the rest of the IS-F, built for its particular market..
Have you seen this HKS product for a JDM Spec IS-F??
In JAPAN....... they offer the HKS Velocity Advanced Computer for the Japan Spec IS-F
VAC Type ISF - 45002-AT010 - ¥157,500 (approx $1,655 USD)
http://www.hks-power.co.jp/products/...speed/vac.html
There has been NO confirmation if this product will work on a US Spec IS-F...
Time for one of you guys to research this some more..

I also heard that the very same company you mentioned, I-Code, has some kind of tune ready for the IS-F.. just not sure if its US Spec'd or not...

i was just going to say the VAC and yes i mentioned earlier about the iCode. but from google translate looks like you have to have it installed there or ship it off to them. i could be wrong. any one good at translating Japanese? icode.jp
