2002 Subaru WRX – Install and calibration

Got an email from what ended up being a neighbor from me. He wanted us to install some stage2 parts to his Subaru at first and what this turned out was a long relationship.

We ended up fixing some issues we saw in the car, replaced couplers and exhaust flex pipe that had seen better days.
After the performance and maintenance parts (injectors, fuel pump, inlet pipe, etc) were installed and no leaks were present we proceeded to do a RomRaider tune on this vehicle. Loaded the car on the Dyno Dynamics AWD and proceeded to do the stage2 calibration on it.

Runs are in 4th gear
Ambient conditions were 80F, 82% humidity and 30.03 baro
Correction factor (none) 1.00

Everything went so well that we continued to work with the client to upgrade bushings, rear wheel bearings and the last project was install some very needed gauges.  In came PLX Devices with their gauge pod and smart boxes to interconnect sensors.

Here are the AFR and Oil Pressure sensor video after the install. I said fuel pressure, that is what the description is labeled in the gauge, but its actually the oil pressure psi that is being displayed.

S2000 Turbo – Recalibration

A local friend came in to make sure that his newly bought vehicle was operating in optimal condition.
We loaded the vehicle on the rollers and proceeded to test to see how the AFRs, boost curve and power delivery was.

After careful inspection we noticed that we could move a few numbers in the VE table on the AEM v2 to reach optimal fueling conditions on the boost region.
