Lexus LC500 E85 dyno tuning and intake install

[@thomasharris5151]

Am I the only one that like the factory exhaust tips outlets better than this setup.. looks cleaner with oem setup… sounds good either way. Thanks for showing the dyno.

Facts

[@RiceRyder]

Absolutely. To each his own, but my baby is rockin'stock all day! She's almost perfect from factory. Only mods I will end up doing is probably different wheels.

[@samdileo6386]

just wanted to say, video is great, but you the real MVP for including literally everything in the video description. cheers to you

[@rtgtexas]

Well done! Tune by Loi is the way to go!!

[@meowchat6175]

Congratulations Mr Lexus, we've been waiting for this good news 👍😸

[@DerpHacks]

w progress i remember reading this from the forums i’m glad you got everything figured out car looks and sounds great

[@PureFunction]

Dude this is amazing! I’m excited to buy one of these to compliment my Supras

[@Careover]

Most cars have a factory cold air intake setup so unless you want more sound it will be a loss of power. In the install you can see how the duct is sucking air at the highest point, on top of the radiator. So no matter how hot the engine bay it will suck in cool air

[@cartune_netwerk]

yup, we were just testing the boostlogic intakes and it had no gains.

[@whatdoesnt]

Those intakes are going to perform even worse while driving, due to the elimination of the under hood ram-air style scoops in the stock setup.

[@hagaras82030]

What exhaust you running my dude? Was really looking into these cars but decided to hold back on it cause of the almost non existent tunning options. Glad I came up on your video.

[@cartune_netwerk]

Just a slightly modified stock exhaust. Tuning is now available through Tuned by Loi!

Gained a new sub! Thanks for the content.

Thanks for the sub!

[@159002]

So, it's best to just keep the stock Intakes??? What about the Gruppe M Ram Air Intakes? Those probably would be better. And also, the RR780 Supercharger for the RC-F wouldn't work in the LC500? That kinda sucks. That would be so cool if it could be made to work...

[@vuahung33]

Nice car ! Can you tell me what lowering suspension you're using and did you installed any wheel spacer to get that flush looking ?

[@cartune_netwerk]

Tein springs with 20mm akata spacers all around

[@thoggboogus2560]

Nice i knew these could make 500 crank with more flow need to delete the cats res and get headers for more gains then the intake will be worth it

[@Welsh_Veteran_420_Z]

What would the theoretical HP increase from stock be?

[@cartune_netwerk]

hard to say, each car and calibration is a bit different. With all supporting mods I'd say probably 100-150 max whp from stock

[@Gatortactical813]

@@cartune_netwerkI thought these came 475hp stock thoe??

[@thomasharris5151]

Toyota needs to make the cars more accessible to tuning. It’ll actually boost sales and brand image. Like Audis are crushing it with the tuners and aftermarket following. Those cars are fast as heck with tunes!!!! For less than $699

[@cartune_netwerk]

Toyota probably makes it harder to unlock ECUs to keep their reliability metrics up. Any turbo cars will definitely be able to produce more tuning options/following as naturally aspirated engines generally are already tuned for optimal performance.

[@markthompson8459]

Badass!

[@RubberChickenMan007]

The only problem with going e85 is that it's not flex fuel compatible. I couldn't find a kit that was.

[@cartune_netwerk]

Just replace the fuel lines, get a ECA, and get a custom tune from Loi and you'll be good to go for e85.

[@Vishakh1733]

Love your license plate lol

[@renesmeenk4108]

So are these numbers at the wheels (which with a drivetrain loss of about 12-15% looks relatively OK) Or corrected to crank in which case these are way too low..?

[@DerpHacks]

we need a pov drive now!

[@cartune_netwerk]

good idea, next video!

[@DerpHacks]

@@cartune_netwerk 😁

[@luklopskywalk]

Its stock HP is 472...WHY SO LOW.

[@truckingjamaicans5045]

It's measuring at the wheels not crank so it's making over 500hp

[@koko4620]

How has this car been as a daily driver?? I do a good amount of driving an currently thinking about biting the bullet for the LC

[@cartune_netwerk]

Perfect as a daily! Comfy, beautiful, reliable, and powerful enough.

[@whats55]

Any info on a supercharger?

[@cartune_netwerk]

Apparently boostlogic is still working on it

[@gabeh7373]

What we need is for the software that Loi uses just to be able to tune the dual fuel injection system that RR Racing implemented on their tune for their supercharger kit. Their supercharger has been proven reliable over tens of thousands of miles now. I will say that Loi seems to be a better tuner, if he has the option to tune he could tune the RR Supercharger kit and incorporate the transmission tune into it would be the best of both worlds IMO

[@Notsoofunny305]

@@cartune_netwerkhow about now?

[@naeemcharania8996]

@@Notsoofunny305 Sounds like vaporware. Prob not worth it for them or potential customers to produce/buy it

[@TsaiASC]

I wanted to get the hood, does it require hood pins? Or is it plug n play

[@cartune_netwerk]

They recommend hood pins but I installed without. Replaces the factory hood using oem mounts and hardware

[@gabeh7373]

You should give us a video of the acceleration after the tune to show the difference between that and the stock tune!....How does it feel? Did you have Loi raise the rev limiter to something higher than the stock 7,300 rpm?

[@cartune_netwerk]

I may post another video this weekend. Rev limiter is the same, but he added burbles.

[@gabeh7373]

Sounds good 👍....any reason why you didn't have him raise the rev limiter maybe to 7,500 rpm?

[@kvue8110]

I'm sorry for my ignorance but lc500 can run E85 if tuned, can it run E85 without a tune. So much cheaper vs premium gas. Is there other things that need to be done to have it accept E85

[@cartune_netwerk]

it cannot run e85 without a tune. You need new fuel lines, ethanol sensor, and ECA.

[@mubeenbil]

What tuning software did you use?

[@cartune_netwerk]

VF tuner software and TunedByLoi for calibration

[@ajc5370]

Take her to another shop, the redline on a basic lc is approximately 7300 rpm he's way to conservative on the throttle and not getting good pulls. Your engine bay is filthy and the car is starving for air. The car is capable of much much more. The chick in the uggs playing mario kart tells me everything I need to know about this shop. Find anothet tuner!

[@Angels_Armory]

can you add the RR Racing RR780 Supercharger to the Lc? and the guy tune it ?

[@cartune_netwerk]

no the RR SC is vehicle specific

That boost logic intake design is poor. Look at where it is drawing air vs stock.

Yeah lots of heat soak

What’s the mpg with e85

[@cartune_netwerk]

laughable - about 15mpg regularly lol. It's much cheaper than 91 oct, better for the environment, and gives more power so it's worth it to me!

[@chrism869]

is that 427 to the wheels, cause if it is than thats 500 to the crank with the tune. It might be to the 427 to the crank i have no idea, i doubt ,thats way to low it should make like 470 to the crank stock, thats definitley 500 plus to the crank nice bump for sure .

441 whp in 7th gear with SAE

That's great, I am keen to buy a supercharger kit for the lc500 man am I waiting when are they gonna come out/ecu unlocked

[@cartune_netwerk]

ECU has been unlocked by OV Tune / VF Tuner. You can send in your ECU for unlocking like I did. BostLogic S/C kit is till in the works, I believe.

Can you supercharge these beautiful cars

is there a tune for the 2019’s and will there be higher hp gains with full straight pipe exhaust setup with headers?
