They can do it via OBD-II, the catch is that you have to drive to them and let them do it.

Hmm.... I was big into Late Model GM cars for a long time. So this JAP CRAP lol, j/k Lexus Fan Boy here, is new stuff to me, new market. Would be nice if some big tuning company like HPTuners would crack it and then allowing anyone to tune their own car and giving shops the opportunity to fully do almost anything. Then the playing field for Mods is unlimited.... I'd Fab a turbo kit real quick if I knew I could tune the ECU. I must be getting old cause the APEXI resonated exhaust I just put on is too loud inside the car lol. A turbo would quieten that up a bunch!! I was big into to nitrous then moved on to Turbos and never looked back. So a turbo V8 lexus is a no brainer for me. 1000 WHP Easily, I'd test the limits of the stock internals and block quickly.

I hear yeah bigrick, that's would be awesome. I must say after purchasing my rcf used that there is hardly anything besides a intake tube, headers (in which you have to drop the motor) and an exhaust. Now understandably I know the car is naturally aspirated and modding it will never be like modding a forced induction car but still... Even if someone did decided to make any kind of FI kit for the rcf one wouild have to be very careful due to the high compression and the tune would have to be right on... With any luck maybe toyo will come out with the turbo supra soon..

Isn't it pretty much the same thing.. Either way for roughly 30whp the motor has to come out...

Chiming in here - I have been speaking with RR-Racing and following the R&D on their ISF Supercharger. Currently the ISF SC kit is on RR-Racings Blue ISF and another local ISF to me in MD. I know that Rafi has always had plans to migrate the work to the RCF platform.
As of yesterday, RR-Racing got the ECU completely re-scaled for 600+hp (it was a huge effort) and this week will begin installing the mechanical pieces on the RCF to further the build. The long and short, the wish and want for forced induction is right around the corner for the RCF!
