Was just browsing the site and came across the OBD tune for the 2017 models. Was wondering what everyone who has done it to their cars thinks about it. I would only be doing the OBD tune, do you feel a difference?

That’s awesome!!! Count me in now, I’ve been waiting for what seems like forever. I’ll be ordering tonight and hopefully have it installed by the weekend. Fingers crossed 🤞

 

Awesome! Report back with the process and the results please!

 

Will this work for a 2018?

 

I believe so, 2017 was the year that Lexus changed the ECU language or something so that’s why it took so long for the tune to be released. Check with RR Racing just to be sure.

 

I really hope that's the case...but doesn't 2018+ models have the 2GR-FKS(revised/new engine) that makes the tune slight different?

 

Last time I reached out to them in December, they were unable to update 2018+, however they were able to tune 2017 at the shop. It looks like they have a workaround now, in which you put down a deposit and you return the tuning tool once you do the update.

Given that, and the fact that they don’t have 2018+ listed, I have a feeling this is 2017 only. Hopefully I’m wrong though.

 

It will only work on the 2017 models. We are working on a solution for the 2018+ as they changed the ECU's.

The reason for the delay for the 2017 was more along the lines of our tuning devices not being able to work with them. So we have a different style of a device, similar to a bench tune in a sense to accommodate them.

The 2018+ will have another different tuning device/style to accommodate for the new ECU's, it should only be another month or so until that is released.

How's that 8ar tune coming 😉
