Since it is increasing the engine torque, the engine will work in higher operating condition. The engine was design to last for 300 K miles for example working on factory operating condition. The question is : if I install Race Chip will that decrease my engine life ?
The RaceChip was developed to not push the stock components beyond what they can handle and we keep drivetrain life in consideration while developing the tune. Of course redlining your car on every shift and hard accelerations constantly will decrease the life of the components, but this is also true with or without a tune. You should see no adverse effect from the tune as long as you keep the car maintained with the factory recommended maintenance. We are so confident that our products will not harm the engine that we even offer our OWN engine warranty on-top of the factory warranty.
@@RaceChipInstallationVideos I here you guys customer service ain’t so great and it’s hard to get ahold of some help. How long is the warranty on engine? Thanks
@@swervv2957 Our customer support is available M-F. If you would like to see the engine warranty information I would direct you to the website, RaceChip.com, then scroll down to the bottom and select "engine warranty". As it differs from country to country, I would suggest you read through it to make sure it applies to you and your vehicle.
If you still have the wiring in place, any technician will see it. I do warranty work at a dealership and if the device isn't physically plugged in, I can't deny Amy work to you, some dealers aren't so forgiving though, so just do your due diligence if it's just CEL disconnect, if you hydrolocked your engine but never went near a puddle... You might want to remove everything aftermarket 😂
@@420blazedude I just thought lexus would see a Wonky ecu code or something along those lines. Im worried about detonation problems and rods going through the block.
I just purchased this. Will it be better if I upgrade my exhaust on my Lexus IS200t or will it do nothing? What are the recommendations or mods to get the most out of the Race Chip? (If any) thanks!
Can you tell me if this will void my warranty and should I remove it before taking it into service? I currently have a lease for 2020 Lexus f sport 300.
Installed this in my car like 6 months ago and it was killing my engine, kept saying reduced engine just by simply riding around . Maybe I did something wrong but I don’t thinks so, wouldn’t recommend buying this. Just do a natural tuning
Thank you for this video!!! I bought an is220d about a year ago, had this @!@# installed and after a battery change 1 month ago) i had only problems with the car, smoke, unburned fuel, errors on the injectors. after 2 shop visits and injector testing, i found this hidden somewhere behind the fuse box. Removed it and my car is now running normal. Please, please, guys, if you sell the car, remove or notify the buyer if you install this sort of devices - it'a s nightmare do detect as it does not apear on any testers.
This is an additional control unit that does not modify the ecu itself. So, the tune can't be overwritten. Furthermore, all engine protection mechanisms stay intact. In a nutshell: Simple and safe Plug and Play with a bang for your buck. RaceChip offers a 30 day money back guarantee for everybody that is not happy with the result.
Can I use the stock modes on the lexus on top of the modes on the chip. For example can I got to eco knob on the lexus and put; eco, normal, or sport, on the chip?
hey maybe someone can answer my question. Does the race chip works well in the long term ? I heard someone had a bad experience that the chip worked well for the first few weeks but then it stopped working, other people said it's just a waste of money. I have a Lexus IS 300 2019. Thanks
Unfortunately we do not test 0-60 times as they rely on too many outside factors. Tire quality, road conditions, fuel quality, etc. Instead we measure the power change on a dyno as it is consistent and reliable.
You can control which map you are on via the app. You will find the gains here www.racechip.us/shop/lexus/is-xe3-from-2013/200t-1998ccm-241hp-180kw-258lb-ft.html
It works independently. You can still use ECO and SPORT mode of the car. You will have more power in both. In ECO mode you will save more gas than before due to the increased torque.
No it is not recommended to stack tunes. If we or R&R felt the motor could safely handle more power, we would have done so in our tunes. Adding that much power can cause engine issues.
Depends on the car, environment, and conditions. This is why we offer the fine tuning option in the app. The higher maps will be the stronger maps, 5,6,7. Just test them and see what works best in your area.
You can drive the vehicle in any drive mode as our product does not interfere with the cars preset drive modes like eco or sport. Instead, we provide extra power in all of these modes, allowing you to fully customize your driving experience.
I have two questions. Does this dramatically decrease throttle lag? Does it effect the ECU to where I will have to deactivate it before I take my car it to the dealership for service?
No, these are tuning products for increasing the power in the motor, not improving throttle response. You would need to check with the dealership to see if our product voids your manufacturers warranty. We recommend removing it as a precaution.
It's the safest way of tuning if done right. It's an additional control unit that does not modify the ecu itself. It optimizes the signals going to the ecu. The ecu increases the power and all engine protection mechanisms stay intact. In many countries, RaceChip offers an engine warranty free of charge.
Unfortunately, the speed restriction is not canceled by any of the RaceChip products. Our system does not intervene on the motor control of your car. The Manufacturers pre-set limitations/restrictions will remain. The RaceChip creates an increase in torque and horsepower by plugging into various sensors in the motor. Thus, better performance, without a modified ECU. This also means you can maintain your factory warranty as we do not leave a footprint in the ECU.
@@RaceChipInstallationVideos ok i understand. But anyway i order the race chip in rs option and i hope my engine will not dead i am after warranty my engine has 76000km i think it is im good condition and i trust you this box is safe for my engine

@@clutchkickk6835 lol
Looks easy!!!
the link you provided does not show my model which is : IS300 2019
Can I use this with a cold air intake? how will it be affected but it?
does this work on a stock car with just aftermarket muffler
Do you have to upgrade any parts before installing a racechip?
No, the car can be in stock condition.
Does the 5 tuning mappings for the base chip result in different HP/Torque? Or are they progressive? Say 1-5, 5 being the highest hp/Tq setting?
In the "RaceChip S", map 5 is the most aggressive setting with the highest hp and torque.

I have an R&R racing ecu tune , if I install this along with the R&R will it be OK?
