Please note that this package is exclusive to customers who convert their Lexus into a dedicated race car (not legal for street registered cars).
This package includes two of the best quality products on market for Lexus 3XX --
PPE headers and Ark Grip with Quad Carbon Tips exhaust (please note optional HF cats). These products combined with our special tune deliver the most power available for the 3XX platform anywhere at an incredible package price! This kit comes with our Remote Tuning Kit (please see procedure overview below). We estimate consistent gains of 38 to 48 whp (65 to 75 whp for IS300) with this package!
The that comes with this product is for the following models with 2GR-FSE 3.5L v6 engine: IS350, IS300 RWD 2014 to 2017 (3rd generation) models.
RR Racing is proud to release yet another great value performance package for the Lexus! The Lexus 300/350 ECU is a very complex and sophisticated engine management system. As always, we have worked very hard over a course of many months on developing this tune using our IS350 F Sport shop car as well as our customers' cars. We developed both on the dyno AND on the road. We have thoroughly tested various changes in order to optimize power and torque effectively while retaining stock fuel efficiency, knock control sensitivity, and other built in safety features.
We especially excited to report the results of our IS300 tune. Now IS/RC300 owners can have all the power of an IS/RC350 at a fraction of the cost, by simply recalibrating the ECU!
So as you can see this was not a weekend project for us, where we slapped a Lexus on the dyno, played around a bit for a day or weekend, and and now we are selling a tune. We had done most of our development on the road, under real world conditions, doing hundreds of runs, datalogs, and hundreds of miles of testing between re-maps in order to determine how the ECU reacts to changes and adjust learning parameters. In addition we use our sophisticated in-house AWD DynoJet 424x LINX to fine tune our calibrations. Our ECU tune enhances the following ECU functions/parameters, including but not limited to:
- Direct Injection / Port Injection fuel mapping
- Ignition control (300/350 has base ignition maps, cam timing dependent ignition maps, knock correction maps)
- Variable cam maps
- Torque to throttle mapping (allows us to enhance throttle response)
- Optional rev limit increase to 7200 RPM (helps the power curve)
- Optional speed limit elimination
Our on road impressions are that the 300/350 pulls much more smoothly and linearly, with excellent midrange and top-end improvement. One of the most effective changes to the 300/350 is increasing the rev limit to 7200rpm (we can further increase engine rev limit to 7400rpm upon request, but we feel that it may impact long term reliability). As you can see from the dyno results below, the 2GR-FSE v6 continues to pull all the way to the revised 7200 rpm rev limit. This results in significantly more "area under the curve" and better acceleration times.
We estimate consistent gains of 38 to 48 whp (65 to 75 whp for 300) with this package!
All of our extensive dyno testing is conducted in our testing and development facility on a top-notch brand new Dynojet 424x all wheel drive Dyno equipment.
Our tune results are summarized in the following table with supporting dyno graphs below.
Ordering Procedure
- We will ship you our Remote Tuning Kit.
- We will email you a link to our Dropbox folder for instructions and software.
- After you write the tune, you will return the remote tuning kit. Please note that we expect for the tuning kit to be returned prior to customer receiving the headers as we do not charge the $550 deposit that we charge as part of the tune price.
Updates
If we make any version updates to this tune, we will make any such version updates available to our customer free of charge.
New Upgrades and Tune Releases
We are continually developing new upgrades to the IS platform. New ECU tune upgrade/releases will be offered at a discount to customers who bought this tune.

Other FAQs:
Why do you provide a range of “tuned gains,” not a precise value?
There are many factors that influence dyno results and lead to variability in power measurement. Additionally, your ECU is constantly making changes based on sensor feedback that significantly influence engine output – and this is the case even on a stock ECU. So bottom line is that regardless of the mod you install, actual gains will vary. We make every effort to provide actual, factual, and transparent dyno data for our customers.
Do you recommend aftermarket intakes?
At this time, we do not recommend any aftermarket intakes that remove the factory airbox.
What about that Supercharger Kit you guys are working on?
We may release a supercharger kit for the Lexus IS350 in first quarter 2017. At this time, and until further notice, we are offering all of our customers who purchase the tune now partial credit (the amount to be determined based on SC kit pricing) towards the supercharger system through the spring/summer, should they choose to upgrade during that time.
