is400 mod

can the IS400 AFM mod be used with a superchip upgrade? :flush:

[Nick@TC]

There is no superchip upgrade for the 7M, well there is, but it's just a overly priced fuel cut defender.

The Lexus AFM can only be used in conjunction with bigger injectors. (It's an LS400 AFM you need, although I guess the IS400 might be the same)

Although they don't list it i've driven a supe with one fitted. It was great it pulled hard from about 2000rpm.
With the chip they suppy a few other bits too including an hardened spring for the wastegate! same effect as shimming i guess.

The 7M can't be chipped, it's bascially a FCD with a boost upgrade.

as nick says .. its that bit thats doing all the work, not the overpriced 'chip' they sell you.

You have been if you've gone that route.

50p of washers and a £80 FCD would have got you the same thing.

Where do i get bigger injectors (550ml i gather)?
How high can the boost be taken and how many Pony's will the engine go to?

There is a set of 550cc injectors in the forsale section for £250 ono. With the lex afm and the 550cc injectors you should be able to run up to 16 psi posibly more depending on your car and if you have the modified afr screw. If you are planning on running this level of boost I hope you have a de- catted exhaust, your head gasket is in good shape and torqued to 75lb/ft or more with ARP studs, your clutch is in good shape and you have no other issues with your engine/gearbox. With a full 3" exhaust+turbo elbow with the fuel mod and boost at 16psi I would think you would be in the order of 340 crank hp. With the addition of a fuel computer to lean you out at the top end you should be in the reigon of 360 - 380 crank hp.
