Waiting on my tactrix openport 2.0. Already have the PCMFlash guardant dongle for Lexus/Toyota CAN-flashing. Gonna finally get rid of this annoying BMS JB4 courtesy of TTI Motorsports. Gonna flash stage 2+ at home. Got an Astron 50A variable voltage power supply (depends on how long the flash is) Tune out the rear O2, cause that p0420 code screws with the damn cruise control. And possible get rid of that God forsaken dead pedal DBW. No more O2 sensor fittings and no more sending JB4 logs to Terry when the unit itself goes into some debug mode and doesn't function over Bluetooth anymore.

PPE Catless DP, BMS intake, HPS silicone intake pipe, HPS charge pipe, muffler deletes, Apex Integration N1-X midpipe, TTI TM Delete.

Was gonna trade it for a q50 and mod the guts out of it, but a bit upside down. Thing didn't hold value. Haha. So F it, flash it because soccer mom car.

Hi all,

I have a 2016 GS200T with a JB4. Its running in the +4psi mode. What is the consensus on the +5psi mode for stock vehicles? I have seen a few mentions of running the extra psi on a stock setup but wanted to see if its really not a safe choice for an otherwise stock setup. I went a bit overboard on my last car so looking to keep this stock other than possibly water injection once the 2 year CPO warranty is up.

Thanks for any advice!

Don't worry. Engine holds more than 380 h.p. in stock.

Thanks, wasn't sure if there was a specific restriction with the supporting mods that are typically recommended with higher psi such as a better flowing downpipe or reinforced charge pipe.

I’m not sure if you’re still looking for a bone stock car or not. But I just picked up an 2016 IS200t with 34,000 miles on it. I was looking looking for tune options, which is why I ended up on this thread. Located in 77007.

I know it's been discussed in previous pages of this thread, I think some bros here mentioned about this tuning company from Taiwan doing Hybrid Turbo without having a clear outcome and aren't supporting this upgrade anymore, at least out of Taiwan. (I checked with them before).

Some tuners here have also promised to deliver but everything is left in limbo at the end of the day.

So I wonder if something really happened mid way when tuning these vehicles?

Are we just cursed? Should we switch to the dark side?

That’s really not that uncommon. If you know what you’re doing it’s great. Many vehicle platforms have aftermarket software that allows you to tune your ECU.

If the 8AR motor was available in a “tuner” car platform you guys would of definitely seen a lot of modifications. For example the B58 that came in the 240i,340i BMW and now in the Supra. There are talks of a GR Corolla for the US market since we are not getting the GR Yaris. Hopefully they can use the 8AR motor.
