The ECU tune is not completed yet and we are still testing. Hopefully it will be ready soon guys. It just has to be right before it goes out to everyone. The last thing anyone wants is for people to have annoying issues with there car after spending money on a tune.

We have been working on it since mid-summer. As soon as all of the changes that will make it to the production tune have been determined I'm sure SARD will release that information.

I'm glad to hear this is in fact still in the works...Obviously there is likely still a healthy amount of skepticism from any ISF owner that has been around for more than a day, but I'm remaining optimistic on this one.

I moved back to Japan and Lems is 30 minutes from my house. I asked the owner of Lems about the Sard tuning for LHD ISFs. He said he needs my serial number or anyones serial number of the ecu to see if its compatible. If it is than it could be reflashed. But its $2500 ish for the tune

Any new news on this? Someone eventually has to break into the ECU's. This car would be a monster if we could Tune.

Not going to happen. Ever. If you want a tune, it will come from iCode, Novel, or SARD. No one else has a hope.

My car has been running multiple SARD CUVU Evolution ECUs over the last 10 months. Although the finally version of the U.S. Spec ECU is not ready for release this is alive and well. Every test ECU sees more improvement but SARD is still working hard to make sure that the final version for the U.S. Spec car is going to be satisfactory.

With the elimination of the speed limiter the car sees 180mph in 5th gear��

It appears no numbers have been released regarding expected gains until finalized, but would you say there's clearly an increase in power based off your 10 months of experience?

It's been years in development it appears, hopefully there's some hope in the near future?
