World’s first tuned Lexus LC 500 using VF Tuner This is a “stage one” tune on a mostly stock LC ECU cracked by OV Tune vftuner.com/ Tuning Calibration by TunedbyLoi ... / tunedbyloi
@@kevinwhitney1318 not everyone has enough money for a $200,000AUD car mate, me and 97% of the other population can’t anyways…. and honestly i’d rather an Audi R8 or a brand new BMW M3 competition because those are better in every other way. aside from reliability of course
@@andre9302 Aye but the LC500 is not to be touted as a value performance machine. If you just wanted its numbers youd see an IS500 for half the cost. It is moreso aligned with the grand touring class, an S class/Continental GT bastard if you will. Despite being seen as outdated with underwhelming numbers, the YT reviewers always seem to agree upon it in a positive, "it is underrated" sort of light. Naturally, this is just a niche bracket few enthusiasts funk around.
Yes!!!! We have the exact same spec, Smokey Micah and rioja interior… man, if this tune works, I’m so pumped! Thanks for the upload 🍿 🙏🏾…I want to hear more feedback on this
This car car probably take 1000 to 2000 hp no joke, it's a Japanese well build engine and if a 2.6 v6 can take 1000hp without blowing up imagine for this incredible 5.0 V8.... I want to see !!!!
Does anyone know how to keep the ambient lights on while the car is in drive? Seen a couple people online that figured out how to do it but no tutorials 😭 that, along with more horsepower is the only thing this car needs to be perfect
Gear ratios are physical so you cannot shorten or elongate. But you can make it more responsive (throttle response) and richening the mixture at low rpm and leaning more as revs rise to synchronize better with camshaft profiles. But since it has tall gearing, sc would give more bottom end and twin turbo’ing would just be balls to the walls. The SC would enhance for better responsiveness at low end and twins would start to get on supercar level. Either way… do something as this is a good platform for the Tony Stark/Bruce Wayne type man.
@Cartune Netwerk, excuse me but do you happen to know when the folks at Boostlogic plan on releasing their mythical supercharger kit? It has been over three years now since they've mentioned the kit on their website and they haven't updated it since then. It still says "coming soon".
@@meowchat6175 I believe they were stuck because nobody had cracked the ecu until now. They commented on my fb post saying “time to finish our supercharger”. They’re working with Loi to outsource some tuning as well, so hopefully we’ll hear something about development progress soon 🤞🏽
Is there an update to how well and tuneable this car is? Also is it possible to tune the shift ratio? 10spd mated to the 5.0 is I guess better than the shitty 8spd in the rcf and gsf but those gears are waaaay to damn long
I would like to know what it is you did to get the ambient lighting to stay on while driving .. Aldo what about letting us know the before and after the tune hp rating .. Also how much was the tune and whats the name of it. Also kindly list any performance upgrades that throw no codes like an air intake .. or how to keep the valve open as tho it is in Sprt plus all the time .
TunedbyLoi is the tuner - he's doing big things in the Lexus community. Air intake probably won't throw a code, but there are no gains from the boost logic one. Catback exhaust won't throw a code and a tune won't either. Once you start messing with O2 sensors (headers), that's where you'll get a CEL. Check out my other video for keeping the valves open.
Intake won't do anything, at least not the boostlogic one. Exhaust definitely will. Headers will make the biggest difference. Just a tune will also show some decent gains.
Excellent move. Taking a car that the finest engineers and designers in the world took years to develop and modifying it so it is faster is brilliant. Why not put a twin turbo on the car or better yet...pull out the engine and drop in something with 800 horsepower? Everyone knows 0-60 in just over 4 seconds is really slow. You need a car that does it in around 1.8 seconds. You shouldn't be happy with your beautiful LC 500 until you turn it into the car you always thought it should be. Once you do that, everyone you share the public roads with will "ooh and ah" at what you've done. They'll say..."there goes a really cool car". Pretty darn spiffy.
RR racing makes a super charger for the RCF and GSF. They never made one for the LC because no one wanted to put in effort to crack the ECU so maybe they will make one. The supercharger with a tune gave those cars between 560HP to 700HP+ depending on which version you get and if your running 91/93 octane or E85.
@@paladin3116 Hopefully they make a supercharger kit for it maybe in the future. They still cant make a supercharger for the LC even after this tune came out. They said it on a comment on the RR Racing channel. The LC with an extra 90HP from a supercharger would be great
Finally something good on the lc 500 no one touches these things
Perhaps they are smart !!!🤣
that’s lexus’s fault. nobody has the money for these things and if they do, there’s lots of other options that are cheaper or the same price range.
Speak for yourself. I EASILY afforded to buy mine and love it. LOL!!!

I'm buying one, going to supercharge it, going to go totally viral with it. Y'all SLEEPING on what this car can be
You better upload that shit
When videos? Got insta/TikTok?
u not doing shit😂
???
lmk when you do! Supercharger is still in development
My hero! Can’t wait to see the dyno!
Yes!!!! We have the exact same spec, Smokey Micah and rioja interior… man, if this tune works, I’m so pumped! Thanks for the upload 🍿 🙏🏾…I want to hear more feedback on this
Getting there. I’ve been busy. Need to make a dyno appointment
@@cartune_netwerkso did you?
WAS LITERALLY WAITING FOR THIS!!!!

….no these don’t go much past 700-800 max effort and they have issues at that power level .
@@IReahpZzbro stop lying. lc500 engines are built to handle that.
nah, not without forced induction. I think safely we could probably do about 500-600whp without destroying the motor.
Take it to a dyno. Do you have any other mods to go with the tune?
Soon…
Does anyone know how to keep the ambient lights on while the car is in drive? Seen a couple people online that figured out how to do it but no tutorials 😭 that, along with more horsepower is the only thing this car needs to be perfect
I think there’s a thread on clublexus for the lights
Did you ever figure out how to make the ambient lights brighter?
Now we can supercharge it.
Need one of these with a centrifugal on it
would sound fucking insane, especially with something the size of f1x
Are they able to access the TCU and modify the gear ratios? If they can change the shift times for shorter gearing that would be huge the LC
Yes, TunedbyLoi can adjust shift logic if requested
Gear ratios are physical so you cannot shorten or elongate. But you can make it more responsive (throttle response) and richening the mixture at low rpm and leaning more as revs rise to synchronize better with camshaft profiles.

Gotta give it a few hundred miles for the KCLV to max out, but should be good after
Yeah still monitoring those. I’ll get on a dyno soon enough!
When do you plan to go back to the dyno. Compare stock vs tune videos
Same spot hopefully
Hey sir, when will you post dyno results from tune? Curious to see results before purchasing
Keyboard warrior be like "how could you rest that laptop on black paint??? You don't deserve that beauty 😩😡"
I heard Lexus locks the ecu for lc500, is that true? did you guys find a way to unlock it?
Yes, mine is unlocked
All years or just the newest ones?
Does this mean that you can introduce forced induction into the equation?
Theoretically. Boostlogic is definitely excited for their supercharger to move forward in development due to this

@Cartune Netwerk, thank you so much for the encouraging feedback. You truly are a wonderful person💜😸
how did you get your ambient lighting to stay on while driving?
How your car is being responding to the tune so far?
Updates coming next month
👍

Yup, custom tuning possibilities are great - TunedByLoi can get you taken care of for ECU and TCU tuning.
The first thing I did was cringe when I saw the laptop sitting on the trunk lid. I hope you had a towel or some such thing under the computer.
Where did you get the carbon fiber roof pieces? I have the E6 carbon stuff for the tail lights but can't find the roof pieces.

Coming soon! (Mid Jan)
Any update??
Yes, new video is up!
Any update? I want to know if i can extract more power with a tune, post exhaust and air intake upgrades
Intake won't do anything, at least not the boostlogic one. Exhaust definitely will. Headers will make the biggest difference. Just a tune will also show some decent gains.
What color is that?
Smokey grey Micah and interior is the Rioja red option - I literally have the exact same spec in a 2018 🫡
@@BobbyDigital_100 I'm saving up to get a yellow one. Can't wait bro!!
Caviar
it sounds and it feels quicker to.
How much did it cost you to tune this car up
I’m working with the tuner for development so I got a discount. Official price quotes will have to be from TunedbyLoi
Turbo??
How much more horsepower did you get
later video shows dyno results - about 40whp
why are you wearing a floral bra
Lol it’s a Hawaiian tank that I wear at home 😂 didn’t feel like changing for the video
Would this slightly increase the top speed and are the shifts different or the same?
Shifts can be adjusted but I’m keeping my TCU stock for now. Not sure about top speed though. That’s a question for TunedbyLoi
Dyno results? With 407whp max on stock, what's the new numbers?
Should have them within the next month. Just gotta make a dyno appointment
@@cartune_netwerk well????
what did it get on the dyno?
check the newer video for dyno!
What are the numbers?
Watch the next video! ruclips.net/video/AUZXkDIHjZQ/видео.htmlsi=yrhuffnmKXiNTabx
How much hp is it pushing?
I’ll get on the dyno soon and post a video
How did you connect the laptop to the car? I didn't see any cables from the laptop to the car
Obd2 cable. It’s there, probably just bad lighting or I didn’t record putting in the cable
You have spent loads to tune the car then you'll have to send her to the bodyshop to redo the trunk scratched by the laptop.. IQ=0
Warranty Voided... and.... 9 mpg!
😂😂
So what!? Enjoy!
who cares!!!
😂😂😂no pops and bangs take the whole tune bsc 😂💯
Tuned by loi 🔥
Lexus will be making an f sport version of this car.
Oh no they won’t - but we all wish

Boostlogic is working on theirs now. They had their ECU cracked as well
Wake up…
