Guys and gals - there's no point in bickering over whether this is a legit business or not. To keep this discussion on track, let's discuss actual experiences and avoid conjecture based on personal perceptions. We all have our personal risk tolerance, but we're all here to learn too. This really is a significant development for our platform. Finding anyone willing to take on the task of tuning our cars should be welcomed. Accepting the risk of having someone tune your car is a personal risk issue, and not what this thread is about.
A few F owners I follow on IG have gotten their cars tuned by Loi and had nothing but great things to say as well. I would love to see dyno numbers to see where power is being made... also, is he tuning based off every car's mods or is a basic tune? I have no clue...but I'm curious!
You should invite them to our club to spill the beans. We’ve seen a lot of tuners come & go on this platform, unfortunately. It will be great to read up on concrete information. If they can actually tune the transmission.
If it is truly tunable now, it would have to be. You can see in the video that the RR tuned car left the light spot on time, and the LOI car left late, but then ran him down and turned a high 11. I really want to know if the trans is tuned differently to leave the light. I feel like our cars almost limit power from a dead stop, either on purpose from Toyota, or maybe just as a side effect of the torque converter.
I highly doubt his tune dynos higher numbers, so I’m thinking the difference is the trans.
Keep in mind the car in the video tuned by Loi has shorter gears which affects the acceleration and should be noted. A side by side comparison of a FBO RR tuned and FBO Loi tuned ISF (with the stock gearing) should be ran to see any differences in the tuning solutions from each tune. Also in the comments he says that he ran an 11.65 last year on RR Racings tune.
That's awesome though that he can fully tune the transmission which I'm excited to see what he's done with that specifically compared to how the engineers (@ Aisin) tuned the stock transmission and if they left some room for improvement in the transmission algorithms to increase shift times/performance!
