Question What Happened with the performance upgrades?

Guys, what happened with your Weapon R ECU and cold air intake setups? There has been no activity in the engine section here so I wanted to "prod" some info.

Installs?

Results?

Unfortunately, the Weapon-R intake didn't fit in our first generation LS. I believe it was made for 2nd gen

Returning the product was very smooth. I had no problems getting credited back the amount I paid for less shipping.

Static,

So you only tried the cold air intake. Did you hear from anyone else about the ECU upgrade? It was tested on a 2nd Gen car (a 95 I believe) which supports your theory about the air intake as well. Although I believe the changed from OBD1 to OBD2 occured during the 95-97 model year runs which would most likely effect the application.

Anyone wanting to improve the air intake on their Lexus V8 really SHOULD read Petes Soarer entire web page at http://www.users.bigpond.com/pgscott/ or if you are in a hurry at least read about his BFI (Big F'n Intake) homemade cold air with calculated 17rwhp gain http://www.users.bigpond.com/pgscott/BFIDIY.html

and see how the simple mods can sometimes be better than expensive ones. I am going to do this just as soon as my warranty expires in another 5000 miles.

Again, anyone with the ECU to report?
