A Hondata reflash transformed my RSX Type S into a beast (relatively speaking) so I have high faith in a well tuned flash.

THIS That would be amazing

Looking past the tune to FI what kind of blower are you working on? A centrifical, roots or screw style. In my opinion a rotrex centrifical would be awesome that paired with an air to air intercooler would be simple piping.

It would be easier to relocate the after cooler elsewhere if it were a liquid based coolant system. The air to air intercooler would need to be front mounted and would take up very valuable cool air flowing across the radiators and condenser coil.

water to air are more complex it requires a tank, pump, as well as water lines and it still requires a heat exchanger that will likely need to be placed in front of the radiator.... Easiest to set up is air to air although it does have more piping and a larger heat exchanger and both have pros and cons. Either set up would work for 98% of the people on this board. I stated my preference and I am not looking to continue an age old debate about which is better water:air or air:air it is the same as the supercharger vs turbocharger debate both have merits and there is no one size fits all answer to which is "better".

Here you go, a screen shot just to keep the interest up

Again, i want to emphasize, that everyone needs to be realistic about the peak power gains. I am not ready to post final figures, but will be able to post some conservative figures next week.

I have been getting some questions on pricing... all I can say right now is that it will be very, very reasonable.

Seeing screen shots like this make me very, very happy. Reminds me of my evo tuning days with xede (even though that was a piggyback).

Haha, I can only imagine. The forum goes from no tuning options available, to within days expects 40whp from a NA tune.

It's pretty obvious that the factory ECU comps quite well to the mods currently available, thus a tune will likely yield minimal gains. What excites me, is the opportunity to tune for forced induction, or even just upgraded cams

But if an exhaust is 20hp and headers are 40...why wouldn't a tune be 50?

Vivid racing just released their product. It's $1000 usd. For some reason, it states Lexus ISF but implies the 3gr engine code? I can't wait to see RR-Racing's ECU reflash and their details!
