Has anyone done a ECU reflash on their ISF so the RPM can go beyond the redline?

No such thing for the F exists yet. It tunes itself pretty well over a given amount of time.

Theres no such thing for any Toyota or Lexus to date.

i heard that lotus will built their car with Lexus/Toyota 5.0L engine (probably is-f engine).
and lotus will bump the power up....so I think there is hope for new ECU or something for isf's engine.

They have and this is a 2UR-GSE with a supercharger unit parked on top of it. I took this picture at the Paris Motor Show last year just after the big Lotus Press Event. That blower won't fit under the hood of an ISF.








But like with any Lotus engine, they basically re-engineer an existing platform where Toyota makes it safe and reliable. Lotus pushes the parameters for their version. As for hope for an ECU to be transferred from a Lotus into a Toyota or Lexus...it will never happen.

Lotus motorcars is also teetering on the brink of solvency. I really doubt we'll see much from Lotus cars. I'm sure they'll save the engineering group, but the world getting access to Toyota engine management through Lotus is a dream thoroughly squashed by a good friend who is in the know about these things. Even if a Lotus engineer could be bought, Toyota didn't give them the keys to Toyota platforms, so there's no reflash ever going to happen on Toyota's gear.

Bastiges.

I did do the search and did not get a related answer hence I asked the question.

that blower will fit under the hood. if the one im running will, that one will. if measurements ever get released it will show.

Offtopic, but is your supercharger build finally finished? If so, release some pictures/numbers man. Your thread about the build has gotten gigantic with all the anticipation.

Hmmm I just took a peek under the hood of my car...it still seems a little tight. That Lotus blower looks pretty tall. I wish I brought a tape measure with me at the Paris Motor Show.

Such a need for tuning, It pisses me off no company has stepped up. I wonder if the I-code stuff will work on our car. I know our cars computer is great and will self tune over time, but I strongly feel that dyno tuning with an expert can be very effective on any car. Plus we could play with e85 if we could tune.

who needs "hood"?

i mean we can always mod the hood....make a hole for extra room and put a clear plastic on top of it like GM's corvett did. ^^
