Dyno'd my 1jz today, and got 297hp/285tq. This is with just intake, downpipe, test pipe, and exhaust. I'm being told my numbers are such that i may have a tuned ecu in the car. I'll check tomorrow, but i thought it might be an interesting discussion to see what people say about this.

i say it sounds pretty normal for a strong HEALTHY motor

my car has smoking twins and i beat my friends 1J who has good twins, 550's, walbro, and 2J cams in his on the same boost level i pull away from him

it's probably that you have a good strong engine. There was a thread a while back with people dyno'ing there stock 1J's and seeing number just like that with the same mods.

You could always take your ECU out and have a look inside. If it is altered it will be quite obvious
