  • As we all know the IS250 is the model that is known for the lack of horsepower and the lack of supporting mods that does not really unlock a IS250 true potential... until now. RR-racing tune is hands-down the best thing i've bought for this car since the Apex'i Throttle controller. RR-racing is known for their extensive studies on improving the performance of most street legal cars. Simply making a great car perform almost as if they belong on the track! Personally this tune for the IS250 makes the driving experience 10x better and is well worth buying.

    FYI make sure u reach out to RR as you add upgrades because there are certain oversized upgrades like their intake arm that require a new tune because it's such a dramatic difference in air charge. When I installed the carbon oversized intake runner, my car ran like garbage and through a dash light for an excessive lean air fuel mix until they sent me the updated map that accounted for the extreme increased air charge

  • @gparton85
    @gparton85 3 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    I've had a million people ask me the difference before and after the RR tune for my 250 and I have found that the easiest way to describe it without spreading fairy tales is the car is now far smoother from beginning to end of the power curve as it should have been from the factory which does make it slightly more powerful according to the butt Dyno but it definitely feels smoother and no longer has the dead spots within the power curve found in every OEM conservative fuel mapping

    Thank you for posting this!! I recently have started doing some mods to my 2015 is250 fsport , (intake,midpipe,exhaust). Was searching for a ecu tune and came across your post. Awesome part is I didn’t realize I actually live only 45 mins from RR Racing. Called them up 2 days ago and drove over today and got the tune. Super happy with it . What a great shop! Can’t wait to get some more stuff done! Thanks again for posting !!

    Hi. If i don't have the chance to buy a IS350, only the IS250, 2014 F-Sport, in good shape, would you recommend it? Good car? The power is enough, specially for daily driving? Nice ride? Fun to drive? Do you recommend the RR Racing Tune nowadays? Thanks

    • @ChrisKheluram
      @ChrisKheluram  ปีที่แล้ว

      Honestly if you really love this Lexus chassis is250 is great when it comes to price budget. It does lack performance and there really isn’t a good way to add HP unless you super charge it. Which makes no sense to me personally. IS250 has the looks don’t get me wrong but that’s all it is. Reliability engine wise, has been great to me, water pump is probably the only thing I’ve changed since I owned the car. If you do get a IS250 make sure it’s 2015+ since 2014 model will have majority of that radio/amp issue like I have right now that makes me want to get rid of the damn car. a air oil separator would be a must because it is direct injected not port like the IS350 is. And I would also get a Throttle controller to eliminate the throttle delay for a better drive. Tune is over rated for a 250 unless you buy a IS300 which is no different than a 350 it’s just detuned from factory. Which the RR tune will bring some of that HP back with supporting mods from my understanding, don’t quote me on that lol. If I had to do it again I’ll save up and get the 2015+ 350. But not everyone can and at the time I bought mine I still couldn’t afford to even have a IS250. My thing is now buy once, cry once.

      @@ChrisKheluram Hey Chris. First of all, thank you so much for taking the time and give me a very thorough, informative reply. I appreciate that. Yep, unfortunately, in my country, we don't have the IS350, never had them, unless 100 units of the 2008 version. 😢 So, If I really want an IS, I gotta go with the 250 or go for another car. There's one here, in great shape, 2014, I talked to the owner a lot, he takes very good care of it and I test drove it. The only reason he's selling is because he wanted to buy a Subary WRX or STI, which he just did, bought a WRX. So, although I think the power should be enough for me, specially for daily driving, I'm still not sure and I can't test drive it anymore and it's in another city. So, I'm really not sure weather I should buy it. LoL But it really seems to be a very nice car. Would you recommend it? 😃 Thanks

    • @ChrisKheluram
      @ChrisKheluram  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Me personally I love the lip kits from NIA auto design very uniformed and clean. I would talk to RRRACING to see if there’s anything in development for a tune. As for exhaust everyone seems to go with the invidia RC350 ones these days ( I guess it’s Jason Nguyen and myself fault for promoting it so much ) but 🤷🏽‍♂️ all you have to do is cut a small section off your diffuser. But you might not even have to with the 2020 model diffuser (again I really don’t know much on 2020 models and the differents) that would be up to you. And if you want a louder tone change out the midpipe if you have kids probably not a good idea. maybe a spoiler and some coil overs / air suspension. You can even run lowering springs if you wanted. Don’t take much to make these cars look fire dude. Thanks for the comment and make sure to sub 🤟🏽

      You can tune before installing the intake and downpipe but if I was you I would install everything one shot. Although Lexus ECU’s are self learning it’s just better off to get everything one shot. And you need to find out if RRracing makes a tune for is200t I’m unsure if they do. If not there are other tunes out there for it I believe

    Guys, don't drive the car like this. There's absolutely no reason to use the manual mode like that. This car isn't manual, and the manual mode is still automatic, you're not actually switching gears at all. That tune will give you more power, but running it into that new 7200 redline is absolutely useless unless you're on the track. You're actually making the car accelerate slower by doing that. Let the car shift on its own if you want the best performance on the street. Let me say again, those paddle shifters and the manual mode on the shifter itself is NOT an actual manual mode. You're not actually shifting the gears at all.

    • @ChrisKheluram
      @ChrisKheluram  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I partially agree with you, transmissions on all 3is aren’t tiptronic they are just a auto trans with a “manual shifter” option. Which allows you to control with RPM you shift at. Having the car in automatic is more efficient to an extent but if the trans is shifting at 6400 for you when you could be shifting at 6400 - 7000 (if you’re flying down the highway) you do get more out from your powerband within that “gear”. No one is saying hit 7k all the time, I was insinuating if you driving fast. But then again it’s all personal preference really lol when I’m in auto the throttle response just isn’t there compared to when I’m in manual. Plus it sounds like trash with a loud ass exhaust like mine; especially! with a 250 😂. Thanks for your insight though dude

    I just wanted to put this out there for everyone to Know. Not all Lexus dealer will charge you the same cost to update the ecm/pcm. I was charged for 1/2 hour $58 and it was done. The tune is interesting and I like it for the most part. The part that I don't like about it is that the gears willl lock up on automatic mode normal or sport when wide open throttle. If you want to redline it, you have to use manual mode.

    • @tv321123
      @tv321123 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not so much of a issues, more of a side effect. With hard driving stock the toque converter locks when shifting for more immediate soled shifts than any old automatic that dose not do that. But it only locks up until 6800RPM, so any shift done at a higher RPM like that of the RR racing tune could unlock, would not lock the torque converter and hence take longer to shift. Can't speak personally as my RR racing tune has the stock rev limiter in place, but apparently the slower shifting is made up for by staying in the power band longer.

I love the look and stock power output but after researching and noticing that there is no decent aftermarket support to build NA and it's not boost friendly I would have to opt for the $6k SC kit or be better off getting a is300 or swapping the motor for a more build friendly platform (if I wanted a project car and not a fully functional daily) and paying $500 to gain only 20hp on a platform that has gained very little aftermarket potential in the last 14 years since it's release is not worth it to me and it sucks because I really wanted to get this car

      Unfortunately you are right. There isn’t A LOT of aftermarket parts out for Lexus 2is or 3is but they are enough to make these cars look and feel much more fun to drive 🔥🔥, these arent a 240sx or a EK hatch; were you have a whole spectrum of parts to choose from. If you’re looking for a car with more of a aftermarket platform performance wise this isn’t the car you want. If you want a nice decently powered is350 cause you genuinely love the look of the car then go for it. Again, it’s your choice at the end out the day but one thing is to always make sure you do every bit of research before buying and committing to a car/build and ask yourself where do I want to go with this build and is it in my budget.
