I'm really new to the Lexus platform and would like to know if there are anything out there as far as aftermarket performance chips for these cars. Coming from Audi, there were tons of options for these types of chips that offer quite a significant increase amount in horse power compared to stock programs. TIA~Tu

 

Toyota has one of the most, if not the most difficult ECU to break into. As far as I know there are ZERO flashing or modules available for any Toyota model 1995 and up.

The way I see it is vehicle OEMs who need help selling cars make it easy to hack into their ECUs. Toyota does not have an issue selling cars. That's just my opinion.

 

There's a Modellista M supercharger for the 2GR-FSE engine that puts out around 355hp and 500 Nm of torque :

and don't be fooled by those stupid radio-shack- resistor- in- a- black- box- chip on ebay

 

I can read 6 words on that website.

 

If you're looking for a few more hp's, trying seeing if there's a Tornado for the new GS :-)

 

Careful what you wish for.... LoL

Ummmmmm No.

Don't ask. Hooking up a leaf blower to your intake would produce more power.

 

Yeah, I just Googled it. What a joke!

 

The reason for the success of chips in Audi's is because most of their cars are turbo charged (and now supercharged). The chips can increase the boost in those cars. Custom "tuning" of a normally aspirated engine is going to get you very little horsepower unless there are other mods that can take advantage of the additional fuel and timing control changes that a chip would make in a Lexus.
