Does anyone know of any shops in the Washington state area that can tune the FJ? I have done on all the bolt on mods that I plan to and was wondering if I can take it somewhere and have it tuned or if I need to chip or piggy back it in order to get it tuned. Any info would be appreciated, btw I have an '07 auto. Thanks!
Think all cars built in last 10 years have ECU that will automaticly adjust for CAI, Cat Back, and bigger throttle body mods. Harley Davidson MC's are only ones that still need ECU programing for those mods that I know of Today.
To tweek your ECU for highter MPG (less HP)or greater HP & Torque (lower MPG)you will need to program your ECU. ECU does not adjust for different sized tires or gearing.

Need an aftermarket EMS or programmer. Don't know that'd I spend the money for a proper one tho if you are just doing bolt on mods which the ECU can adapt to. If going with boost or changing the displacement it makes a lot more sense to spend the money on an EMS.

Yes the ECU will adapt but it will not be to fully optimize for power. IMO a controller and dyno tune (assuming proper bolt ons) would net a good relative increase but at what price ($/hp)?
OP, good luck and let us know what you find. I haven't seen any bolt on mods, tune, and dynos for these engines (not that I looked that hard).

URD has stuff to tune the FJ motor, provided you have a 2007-2010. 2011 and newer is a no go for anyone so far.
Go with the x1 or ucon...you are not going to get anywhere near as much out of unichip.

Of course it won't...it will have a conservative tune compared to any standalone which allows you to dial things in and modify fuel/ignition in more detail. But for the extra 10-15hp you are going to get one would really need to decide if spending $1500 is worth it.
