Def different. There was one at my local dealership here in Atlanta. Sales people told me it was hard to sale because of this interior. We all like different things, which is cool. Really fits this car though because the exterior is blue. 👍

@@lexusrcf2441 i agree 100% with that statement brother. Therapy!

@@tima.478 cool

@@muayboran4life i had an RC F with equal length headers too. I was also tuned by Loi at the time. In an older video i posted, i compare maf reading and the blitz does breathe better than oem system. You wont feel a power difference but the induction noise is louder. The one thing i noticed in my last racing video was that with the top covers on, the intake air temp doesnt go down as fast. So whenever I plan on driving hard, i run the car without the intake covers. As for the Blitz intake, if you buy it from blackhawkjapan you can save a bunch of money compared to the US sellers. Personally, id recommend doing the rear diff swap. You’ll feel the difference. I posted a recent video reviewing the rear diff swap performance as well.

@javrabbit Nice! I miss my performance pkged RCF with the trick TVD (not that I ever pushed the car, but loved knowing that it was there if I ever needed it). Biggest difference I noticed was when I replaced the stock 21" wheels with super lightweight Advan GTs. I was contemplating on getting an exhaust but I really love the way stock LC sounds; so probably not going to mess with the stock unless I get a hell of a deal on Tom's, or Novel racing system. Can I put that diff on an LC that didn't come with a diff?

@ i would really check blackhawkjapan for all things. My Varis kit i got each piece for about 1k cheaper per item, than buying from the american resellers. Novel exhaust midpipe and axleback 6100 on blackhawk compared to 8000 everywhere else. If you dont see a part on their website, just shoot them an email and they will add it for you. Ive bought my exhaust, blitz intake and Varis kit from them. And yup you can hybrid diff swap on any LC. Its all plug and play! You can read up more on the forums www.clublexus.com/forums/lc-model-2018-present/925959-replacing-lc500-torsen-diff-with-lc500h-one.html

@@javrabbit Thanks for the great info. I have been checking them out after reading your comment elsewhere where you mentioned their name. I had everything Novel on my RCF, but this time around I went with E6 Carbon's Artisan Spirit replica kit which fits great btw. But other than that I have replaced factory wheels with the Advans, PPF, chrome delete, and had ceramic coat applied. Which exhaust system do you have on your car?

@ i have a mixture of the stainless steel GTHaus Midpipe. (DO NOT get the titanium version if you go that route. I had it and it did not fit and confirmed with another LC owner that the titanium version had fitment issues) and for the axleback i have PowerCraft Japan. With the valves closed on this axleback this setup is extremely quiet on the highway

So what is a GT car?

@@mez6256 grand tourer. A luxurious cruiser for long distance travel.

@ and why you can’t have fun and do mods with it but you can tune a base civic FWD🙀🤣

@@mez6256 fun is different for everyone. A civic does not interest me. I don’t see the point of this comparison after I clearly explained what a GT car is…

@@jemramos321 great question. you want to be in control when your car breaks traction. In auto, the car would keep up shifting when traction is broken and the harshness from shifting into the next gear can cause the car to completely lose control. The car also doesn’t shift at highest rpm in auto. Its more fun to use the paddles and try to perfect your shift points at max rpm.

@@hunterrrdrives thank you bro. i appreciate it!

@@allenguan4557 haha glad i could help! That limiter is music to my ears! I appreciate you watching!

@@Slamjam88 thank you bro. And i agree. Every time its been amazing!

@@SamiKhan-hn3uk most definitely. I have plans to go out to some tracks in cali soon. A handful of F cars go out there together and told me I can join em and get lessons!

@@canoeshoe yea man the LC is a marathon runner, not a sprinter. Massive range, and undeniable reliability

@@canoeshoe for sure these events you race to see who gets highest mph not who crosses the line first but yeah if i showed the list of cars racing, you’d see the LC was severely underpowered against 98% of the cars at the event. So we just go to have a fun time. Even the fast guys still come over and check out our cars and show love. Its hitting off the rev limiter because the wheels cant find traction, if i upshift early before the wheels stop spinning the car will bog like it did in 2 of the runs where it starts 3rd gear at a low rpm and i lost all momentum. We have to remember the LC is a grand touring car and gets out performed by most cars in its price range. We buy the LC because we just love the total package of the car and the brand/reliability, not because we want to be fast.

@@edward101697 thanks dude! i bet reducing that unsprung weight would help a ton! I also have the LC Hybrid differential swapped into the car, so that probably played a part too. I do want to get wheels eventually and have eyeballed BBS and the TRD LC wheels (not sure how much lighter they are). Getting a custom oil cooler added is probably higher on my list at the moment because the car severely needs one. But yeah the race with the RC F was really interesting, with these 2UR-GSE cars whoever’s car is “happier” at the moment, will go faster. For example, if you look at my phone during the races you’ll see the car pulling timing for most of the races (Top left square). -3 means no ping detected. Anything more negative than -3 is pulling timing, anything greater than -3 is adding ignition timing. So some races you see the car is fine with adding timing, but most the time its pulling timing, especially in the higher gears. All fun though!

@@javrabbit Great insight. I current have a GSF and was wanting to either go RCF TE/Fuji or a LC500. I've been following your build for a while. Structural blue, varis opus magnum, hybrid diff, powercraft etc. I have to say you have one of the best builds out there. I'm looking forward what else you do. Now when are we getting a blower for LCs!

@@edward101697 thank you so much for the compliment and keeping up with the build! I wish i documented my RC F build. Duuude id go fuji speedway for sure. My friend Frank has one and I raced him before i put the rear diff and he WALKED me with ease with his 2 kids in the car 🤣. And that satin blue paint is suuuuper nice.

​@@javrabbitYea man power to weight ratio, and unsprung mass reduction from those cars (carbon ceramics, light weight wheels) makes a huge difference. I really do wish there's better tuning solutions for these platforms, because the potential for these cars are so high!

@@SamiKhan-hn3uk i made no changes to the ECU. The shifts points are slightly higher under certain throttle. You dont really notice it under light acceleration. It still shifts at red line in every gear, which surprised me so the ecu must have a safety net for that. I have the tuning software but havent had the need to change anything from the stock tune to make the differential work.

@@canoeshoe yup structural blue! Haha thays the first thing i did. Actually i got the hood and front bumper repainted for rock chips from previous owner then ppf the entire car.

is it going to put extra strain to the engine tho? bad for reliability?

@@JamesBrown-ny2dw someone correct me if im wrong, but i dont believe it puts extra strain on the engine. The torque coming from the engine hasnt changed at all, the torque increase just comes from the gear difference in the rear differential.

@@javrabbit I asked chatgpt, and it seems there might be more impact on axle and driveshaft, but i guess if lc500g uses the same axle and driveshaft, they should be able to handle that new final drive ratio. But I'm not sure if 500 and 500h shares the same components.

@@JamesBrown-ny2dw thanks chat gpt! yup they do use the same for axle and drive shaft. Its a direct swap without any modifications too. So should be able to handle everything. Sweet!

@@KevGoesRiding thank you bro!

@@edward101697 thank you!

@@canoeshoe my car was tuned by Loi previously. Every revisions kept pulling out 5 degrees of timing and lowering ignition timing. After the 3rd failed tune revision and not so good customer service, i removed it from my car. I was going to release a video about and show all of my data logs, but decided not to.

@@javrabbit a lot of people complain about him Even the one who taught loi reflash received some racism from loi calling him monkey 😅

@@mez6256 yeap I saw that too. That was very disappointing to see. Loi tuned my RC F when I had headers. It took around 7 or 8 revisions and many dyno visits where some of the revisions made less power than stock. But in the end I walked away with a solid tune that worked great in all conditions with a 14hp gain at peak. That took a very long time though

@@2ZZGE100 thanks bro. Yeah once good weather hits in december i’ll repeat it. Its still reaching over 100 out here
