[Re-Branding - does it work]

I voted 'yes' for the toyota and lexus brnch of this thread.

The difference between the 2 is HUGE!

As far as service price car yards relations are concerned lexus is miles in front here in aus. Toyota is not in the same league.

I bought my car from a toyota dealer but now take it to lexus for services etc as they do a afar better job and actually listen...as well as do custom work for me...its a little bit more $$$ but its the peace of mind i like

Does anyone know what % of loss we have through our drive train in the CTS (sportivo) ??

Because if i go of that I have increased the power at my wheels by over 25% you can take that back to the engine so original at the flywheel was 141kW?

25% of 141kW = 35.25kW

141kW + 35.25kW = 176.25kW

1kW = 1.34HP

176.25 x 1.34 = 236.18HP

Does that sound right??????

[2ZZ-GE ECU]

In the case of a car suffering from underfuelling problems, a simple re-map of the existing ECU should work, and failing that, a Dastek Unichip should be a cheap Piggy-Back solution - even if still overkill..

You mention remapping ??

I have seen a couple of posts around the place talking about doing this for the stock 2zz-ge ecu I have even talked to a few guys in poland who have apparently done it.

Can anyone shine some light onto this at all??? ie what is needed hardware/software wise etc so that we can look further into this!?

[2006 Corolla T-Sport 225bhp]

there has been big talk of this over in the TOCAU forums....we are all very excited :D
