Hi mate this sub part of the forum is for ISFs only. May have more luck in the 250/350 threads

You reckon it’s the motor and the remote *BLEEP*ing it? With the smart box it would be better?

Ive had my Varex for atelast 3.5 yrs now.  At the moment 1 motor isnt working but beyond that, i have never heard any kind of vibration attributed to the varex.

Still issues with the motors??? You haven’t had much luck over the past few years. I’d lemon the unit and get a full refund!! Poor bloke! 

Sorry for the late reply kirkk.

chris is a big supporter of our Lexus club and we meet regularly at the service centre prior to events. If you want more info let me know.

i can also arrange for a rare HKS exhaust to be installed at the same time as your headers if you want. It’s a steal at less than half retail price!

That’s right - I still haven’t heard this in person! I may be looking at getting rid of my hks as well ... all these lucky people will have options lol

What did you replace it with?

Nice exhaust and not a bad price - wish i had seen this before i just spent the same amount of money butchering an xforce exhaust.....ill go kill myself now.

Yeah but this is louder and in my opinion has more drone than the XForce- you wanted quieter mate. Would have gone against what you wanted. Don’t beT yourself up 😊

Mate sorry to hear this!

i would say bite the bullet sell it and start again but it will be tough to sell a butchered up exhaust like that.

not point in trying to polish up a turd. If you hate it scrap it. Again unfortunate.

how much was it for the mufflers, the hi flow cats and the flange work?

any pics to help describe what you’re talking about?

mate - Chatswood all the way. 

Speak to Scott or Chris - tell them that Alex D with the ISF sent you. 

They will take great care of you

Not that many inconsistencies- michaels ‘freak car’ is actually an RCF - so it should be making around that much.

kevins car was just reset a few days earlier so computer was still ‘relearning’.

drop in panel filter and elbow really only makes 0-3hp atw. Not enough to even talk about.

the main thing with our cars is that they are very sensitive to heat. Idling for too long, or driving straight on from a long trip will net different results to a car that has had time to cool down. i.e a 5 degree difference in intake temp can make a 15kw difference in power on dyno 👍🏼

BUMP once more - been offered $900 but trying to organise pick up. 

If anyone is willing to match - first in best dressed

Bump for the price drop

I would hate to see the labour bill from lexus, I’d be taking it more to a performance based shop for install. To most lexus/Toyota techs, servicing is all they know.

May be the way in Brisbane - but the Chatswood boys are on the ball. They know your car inside and out, great at trouble shooting and fairly priced. I’d even go as far as saying that I’d get Chris to work on all my cars regardless of make or model. He has worked on LFAs, high performance Porsche’s plus many other performance exotics.

Nothing wrong with 4th gear for a dyno run nowadays.   6th gear is too fast for an ISF on a dyno.  redline in 6th is 270kph, in a dyno room!  the dyno would really be moving.  I would not want to be anywhere near it.   Could you imagine a Bugatti Veyron in 6th on a dyno at over 400kph.  I just don’t think so.

yah but John, 1:1 may not be in 6th gear for the Bugatti - it may be 4th, it may be 5th??

as a general recommendation for ANY car, to get the truest reading you want to dyno it in 1:1 

thats not my opinion, thats not any of my mechanic mates or dyno operator opinions, its well documented. 

each to their own - as long as everyone is happy :)

400hp at the wheels is around 500hp at the engine. so I don't now where those figures are from. 

but as we said, its the feel and the difference between the mods, no the overall final figure. 

glad your happy with it dude. hope to see you in a few weeks time at the cruise

100% agree, unless everyone goes on the same dyno as in a dyno day, comparing is hard.  I always look at my before and after's.  I was watching this space as i got mine tuned same place, just got headers like Ozzy too so a similar path and id expect similar numbers / gains so takes away the guesswork :-)

Still looking around for other potential additional tuners, just to see whats out there.  CPI pop up now and then on searches for a Sydney tuner.  Ive contacted several who have posted good gains with AMG, Audi and the like but im met with the usual "unfortunately we have nothing for your car" which is a shame.  The learning curve would be great if we had more tuning options for our cars.

Ps Mine shows crazy torque figures too, bit embarassing to show mates when they ask as its very high.  I wish it had that kind of torque lol.

Haha I saw that and thought mine didn’t have that high .... his car must pull like nothing else lol

No idea why sonny tunes in 4th gear . Both tunes he has done is in 4th. To be honest numbers don’t do much for me as long as I feel the car performs better after the tune and is reliable every time I start her up I’m happy 

thats exactly right bro - as long as everything is done consistently in the same environment thats the best measure. anyone trying to measure d$$k size by saying 'ohh. mine heaps more powerful can go jump. its YOUR pre results, vs your post results - and what you feel by your bum dyno lol

love the results man - good for you for going all out!!!

just a question - why dyno in 4th? Isn't 6th gear the truest 1:1

as a rule of thumb our cars read a little higher in 4th. 

not trying to bash at all - just wanting to know the 'method behind the madness'

Agree with everything you've said. It just seems next to impossible to have a clean installation of PPF and I suspect it down to the pre-cut pieces and low level of skill (which is probably due to low level of interest/competition in the market and high risk to correct faults)

That's great to hear how passionate you are about them however i don't think its wise to say they're 10x better than anyone else especially without any first hand experience or results to prove this.

Bro you said it yourself- low level of skill and using pre cut piecesZ I’m going by your photos - the fact that there were random cut marks, and pieces folded up over each other leaving creases is in my opinion not satisfactory.

im not having a dig. Just giving you my opinion on what I would expect fornforking out that money.

FYI - i have had direct experience with their services and recommended them to friends who have then used them. No such issues. But again I was fortunate to have found them.
