Can you tune a Lexus RC?

Yes, you can tune a Lexus RC. There are several options available for tuning the Lexus RC, including ECU flash tunes and performance upgrades. Here are some examples:
1. VR Tuned offers an ECU flash tune for the Lexus RC 350 V6 engine, which can increase power gains across the power band in both horsepower and torque. The tuning process takes roughly three minutes compared to the competition that takes almost 20 minutes. Basic bolt-on performance parts will not require a retune of the ECU as it will adapt to these modifications.
2. M-Force offers a performance tune for the Lexus IS 350/RC 350/GS 350, which can provide a 10% gain in horsepower and a 6% gain in torque. The actual gain may vary depending on the vehicle’s condition and modifications.
3. Delicious Tuning offers a Stage 1 Tune for the Lexus RC F, which raises the entire power band, offers a more responsive power curve, and is fully tested on California 91 (and 93+) octane fuel. The tune is based on minimal modifications and is compatible with the OEM intake system with a drop-in panel filter. If you have an aftermarket intake installed, they can adjust the tune accordingly.
4. RR Racing offers ECU upgrade tunes for various Lexus models, including the IS350, IS300, RC350, and RC300. Their tunes provide power gains and better throttle response. They also offer additional performance upgrade packages, such as carbon intakes, headers, and exhaust systems.
5. Tuning Tech FS offers a naturally aspirated factory ECU tune for the Lexus RC350 and RC 350 F Sport. Their tuning solution improves V6 horsepower, torque, and driving characteristics by reprogramming the factory ECU. They offer in-house dyno tunes or remote tuning using a TTFS Handheld.
Please note that the performance gains and compatibility may vary depending on the specific model, modifications, and circumstances. It’s always recommended to consult with a reputable tuning company or professional to determine the best tuning options for your Lexus RC.
