I thought Japan was offering a rempa for our cars. Its like $2,300 for 13hp or something. Super not worth it.


This is the only problem with this car, no super charger, turbo kits or tune. Limited supply of add ons.


Still love the car and wouldn't trade it in for the world. I own a very rare care that most people can say they have never even seen.

Depends on which one. Norwood built one with some piggybacks. Everyone else just took the luck of the draw and ran a little boost without the benefit of a proper tune.

Toyota ECU is locked sadly. I had ECU work done on my G35 that really made a significant difference . I can only imagine what the F would have felt like with a hypothetical tune

it is so frustrating. There is not even an aftermarket ECU with a Plug and Play harness , Syvecs can do it but they are not willing to spend the money to developed a plug and play setup.

I will be willing to pay 3-4K for an aftermarket ECU. Syvics have Plug and Play kits for the Supra:

For only $500 I will "tune" your ISF, it will run like no other.


LMAO, just messing around.

It was more than the harness. Syvec said that their S8 and S12 ECU's can control the IS-F engine and transmission just fine and that they have done installations on race cars before. But to have a complete plug and play setup they would have to fully reverse engineer the Canbus and Linbus but they were not sure if the sales would cover the R&D cost. I asked them them how much would the R&D cost would be, but they never replied.

I got a guy that builds a ton of race cars. He does fab work, engine removal, builds headers, tunes cars. Pretty much a gear head junkie. I was talking to him about a tune the other day. He is dying to get his hands on my car and do a rear single turbo mount.


I am really thinking about letting him do some messing around as long as he promises not to hack anything and consult me before he doesn't anything. This guy is just a genius.


Hang in there, as I am still in talks with him about what we can do. Will keep you guys posted on my findings.
