Thanks for the info. Im thinking about putting my F on boost in the near future and was wondering about how MHP and Artisan tuned the car. To tell you the truth i doubt anyone has done anything groundbreaking for the newer model lexus ECU regarding tuning.

So I'd guess they're on stock ECU with that little boost, maybe an AFC type deal with a closed loop system...
MHP hasn't replied in the GP tuning thread since January
but they seem to have posted a little more recently elsewhere...might be best calling to ask what they can do for you to get an answer.

Artisan basically rebuilt their engine for their TT IS-F... and it's still only running 5 lbs of boost according to:

Quarter mile times compared to an intake/exhaust ISF wernt what i expected them to be also.

Oh. And is Meth injection similar to nitrous in that it doesnt need Ecu tuning if done correctly?
Artisan's kit is stock motor. There are a couple of guys with it installed.

Sorry, I was talking about the car Artisan showed at SEMA- which had a motor with aftermarket pistons, rods, etc...
"Artisan developed a twin-turbo setup that huffs compressed oxygen into a 5.0-liter V8 equipped with AMSOIL, JE pistons and Crower rods. With a Mishimoto radiator, an Artisan exhaust"
Their "kit" rather claims a proprietary ECU flash-

but no details on what that involves.

I think the Lms kit is way better priced. Im gonna be doing a kit similar to the Artisan at a fraction of the cost. Hopefully somewhere around the LMS price.
Can you direct me to where i can find out everything that came with the Lms kit? I want to compare it to the Artisan kit because i highly doubt that A modified fuel and ignition system is needed for 5lbs of boost.

The LMS kit was a supercharger, for the IS350 engine...a 3.5L V6
The artisan kit is twin turbos, for the IS-F engine... a 5.0L V8.
I'd be pretty reluctant to draw any conclusions about what one engine needs versus the other totally different engine in totally different types of FI kits.
