now this is exciting! I was looking at the TTi dyno, and the shape of the power curve is so much different than the dyno you did with the BMS and Toms. might just be the nature of the load based dyno dynamics vs the dynojet. From my experience the dyno dynamics read even lower than mustang dynos.

mind posting a video of the car speedo accelerating from 0 to speed limit (whatever that is) w/ the BMS tune? Also curious to see where the boost gauge ends up at full boost.
or anyone else w/ any other tunes. same request

This is the data that is recorded with the JB4 app.

is the unit you are using the JB4, I know in the bmw world they normally offer a "stage 1" and then the big tune the JB4. The jb4 is more complete and makes much more power over the stage 1. Id love to run a full bolt on set up with e85 and the JB4. Honestly I'd like to throw a bigger turbo in it too, stock housing so it appears factory but flows much more air :-D. i guess we all can dream

Yes, I am using the JB4 application where i can change different maps and also set the boost limit. All the features are not fully functional since they just started tinkering with this motor so lets say this is a stage 1, but being able to run data logs shows where the tune makes a difference. As of now i think the most we can do is a tune with a turboback exhaust, i too dream of making serious power with this car lol but we will have to settle until someone decides to take it up a notch!
I am comparing my experience to that when I had a stock Evo X and took it from 192WHP on a mustang dyno to 596WHP with a sea of bolt on options available, I mean I realize that the Lexus is new into this but still something is not right, car is out from almost 3 years now and nothing exciting is out yet
I agree with ya bro, but for some reason I don't see real enthusiasm from tuners or even from the bolt on vendors side.... lets take BMS as an example if they delay their tune box further and the re-flash is out I assure you they will lose potential customers where people like me would go for a re-flash (given that it is reasonably priced) and BMS is just one example

Still not allowed to post numbers, but I am able to say that OVTuned's still-in-development tune puts down better numbers than TTi's stage one. We also tuned on dyno dynamics so lower readings should be a non-factor. I'll see if I can get a video clip up of a pull; hopefully I don't crash into something while holding my phone!

Right there with you. I understand that the ECUs are just now being dissected, but few people aside from BMS, OVTuned/Delicious Tuning, and TTi seem to be doing anything. I think it will take a while to undo the "lexus enthusiast = stance and camber" stigma, but it's so frustrating for those who want to push tuning; tried talking to a few companies to get a turbo-back exhaust made and none of them are willing to do so.

Even with OVtune priced at 1300$ that's just ridiculously priced am sorry not many can afford that much, I mean I understand they want to milk it since its a niche area but there is a fine line between milking it and not making any sales
Supposedly the "beta" revision is coming, but Matt and Bill are still figuring out what all the tables do.
