Re: Project Lex

Well to answer your question briefly, I absolutely love it. I'd buy it 10 times over if I had to. It's an unmeasurable improvement over my old MS setup.

To answer it in longer form, I was absolutely fed up with my MS setup. I had constant issue, nobody to really help me, shops flat out refuse to tune it because it was MS. I decided it was time to move on. I didn't decide on Infinity right away. What I decided was I wanted to run a modern Standalone. Lots of options (ProEFI, Infinity, etc). And I wanted to buy it and have it tuned by someone who was both extremely fluent with the ECU, and extremely fluent with applying it to this platform. I didn't just want an ECU in my car that somebody could tune and get it running. I wanted someone who could tune it to it's maximum potential.

That pretty much ruled out anyone locally that I could think of as I didn't know anyone locally at the time that was fluent in both a modern standalone, and applying it to my car. I first got ahold of Sound Performance about having them tune it on ProEFI. They responded to my first initial/brief email quickly. My follow up one though where I started talking details, they went dead silent. After a few weeks I decided to move on. I found this fellow Vlad who tunes Infinities for National Speed all day everyday. He's an infinity guru. And he owns a Supra, SC300, and GS300, so he knows how to apply it to this platform. Got ahold of him and boom, replies immediately, no problem answering my questions, said he can remote tune it, and confidently told me (without coming off as a jerk) that his out of box Infinity tune for 2JZ's is better than most peoples finished dyno tunes, he's just done that many and has his baseline tune that dialed in. Done, so I bought it from him and I can't be happier.

So what I'm getting at is I love that the car is running amazing! I can't say that's all because of Infinity. It'a combination of it being a great ECU, and in the hands of a guy that knows everything about how to use and maximize the ECU, and how to do it on this platform. It's not just one or two of them, all three of those are what makes it great. So yes I love Infinity, but only because it's in the right hands.

It's true, don't just pick whatever ECU, talk to whomever is going to be your tuner and go with what they recommend. If anyone wants Infinity, there's 3 of us know running Inifinty remote tuned by Vlad in the last year. Everyone is beyond satisfied. If you want to go Infinity, I can get you his contact info, but I can't recommend him enough. He knows his shit, and really makes the entire process so much less stressful!
