It could be if i hadnt already worked out all the connections and have a couple of maps for it!
13 wires, with just the 4 abs wires difficult to reach.
Marsdendean Quite a good increase then, and made even better by an Auto box!!
jimxms Hell yeah. Auto ftw :p
jimxms Was it much of a PITA to install on the IS?

Well I just took the Mrs down to Lakeside - my first test run on a motorway...and OMG its like a totally different car.
Just cruising its actually quite civilised with very little 'charger' noise entering the cabin. However, slip across to e-shift mode, drop down a gear and a combination of roaring, whizzing and whooshing springs into life and the car becomes a monster
It pulls so hard and the noise is so infectious, I used about 1/2 a tank of fuel just on that one trip. It draws in a massive amount of attention too. I pulled up at a Lexus dealership to pick up a new fuse, and a whole bunch of mechanics gathered round the car while the mrs was waiting in there for me to come back lol.
I'm really looking forward to how much things will improve with the injectors and a tune.
nice one thats what its all about
Sounds like fun!!
The Americans all agree that with 300+ BHP an auto is not a bad thing, some even prefer it. The low power - sub 250bhp "sports" cars NEED a manual because the engine needs to be kept in the sweet spot and that is hard with an auto. I believe the auto supra is generally quicker round a track then the manual for example.
Which is such a great feelingcared:
PW's TT Supra was blinding on full boost - boosting through the gears.
