Category : Automobile Performance

Good day guys here again with another project that we have concluded the install on some goodies. Unfortunately because of the COVID19 epidemic we are not going to be putting this vehicle on the rollers just yet. Waiting on this pandemic to subside and then get back to calibration sessions.

With that said here are the list of items that were install on this ’16 WRX:
DBA T2 street rotors / Hawk pads / Grimmspeed EBCS / GS JPipe
GS TMIC / GS Stealth Intake / IAG Performance AOS / IAG TGV full kit
Invidia single CBE / Amsoil motor & Diff change / OEM subaru Trans. change / NGK spark plugs / Torque Solution EGR kit / Induction service

Some of the goodies for this install.
Rear OEM Rotor
Front OEM Rotor
DBA vs OEM
Grimmspeed JPipe
Preparation to install the IAG TGV deletes

Car is purring like a kitten and that Invidia Single CBE is doing the business and sounding very nice. We can not wait to get this vehicle on the rollers after all this virus stuff dies down and see what these parts on this build yields us. So for now a few street datalog session to make sure all is in order and stay tuned.

2019 Subaru WRX – Install & calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

Its been a busy week of Subarus coming steady in the shop for calibration or installations of aftermarket parts. This vehicle was one of the last cars we worked on before the COVID19 pandemic hit the world.
Apart from another subaru, this one was also another military personnel that we had a pleasure in working with. His car was going to be involved in a car show that was going to be held at NOLA Motorsports, but because of the pandemic that was also canceled.
In any case parts came in for the install, so we proceeded to do the install on them as scheduled.

Here is the list of items that were installed on this vehicle:
Nameless CBE / Grimmspeed Jpipe & EBCS / Torque Solution EGR kit
IAG AOS & TGV full kit / Cobb Accessport v3 / KillerB header / GFB BOV

Torque Solution EGR delete kit
IAG Full TGV delete kit & seals
IAG TGV Ful delete kit vs OEM
Out with the OEM header and exhaust components
Killer B Motorsports Header
Killer B vs OEM
OEM 2port ebcs vs Grimmspeed 3port ebcs
GFB BOV
OEM vs GFB BOV
Nameless Performance CBE
Nameless Performance vs OEM
Grimmspeed Jpipe vs OEM

One major lesson that we found out on this install and calibration was that when ever you going to do this you better set aside some money for a good TMIC if not the power in the back end is not going to be available.
Another take away is that the Killer B header really shine and was able to bring the engine to full boost way sooner and low end torque was really elevated because of it.
Will post dyno charts when I get back to the shop to extract them from the dyno

2017 Honda Civic Si – Install & calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

Client showed up with a interest to make a few more ponies on his Civic 1.5T 10th gen Honda. Since we are PRL Motorsports dealers it only made sense to get the quality items from them. PRL at the moment are in the pinnacle of research and development when it comes to pushing the boundaries of this platform.
The client is a military personnel so of course we had to treat our soldiers right and give him additional discounts on his performance parts.
We first took in the vehicle and strapped it to the rollers to see what was the oem output for it.

Modifications done to the vehicle were:
PRL FMIC / PRL CAI / CP upgrade kit / DP & UpPipe combo
Invidia triple titanium CBE
SPEC flywheel & Clutch kit / FlashPro /

Quality parts is one of the keys to a smooth install.
OEM stuff coming out now.

ECU was then loaded with a calibration from the Hondata FlashPro and then the vehicle since had a fresh flywheel and clutch was asked to put some break in miles for the drivetrain components.

Dyno calibration was later done and charts will be posted shortly.
Stay tuned.

2016 Subaru STi – ProTune

Took on this vehicle one evening as this client had bought a few performance parts from us and it was time now to have the STi calibrated.
Oh yeah the client did a phenomenal job in the install of all the items.

Mods on this vehicle were:
IAG air oil separator, Invidia up pipe, down pipe, CBE, 3port EBCS,
killer B pickup / windage tray, Perrin blow off valve, Cobb Tuning SF Intake, Grimmspeed TMIC, turbo inlet pipe and the pitch stop mount.

Have to say this was a very healthy motor and it showed as it was one of the highest EJ257 that I was have had the pleasure of calibrating with the practically stage2 mods on the vehicle.

1992 Honda Civic EG Turbo – Calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

This project really was frustrating since when it seems that we made some gains, the parts that were initially installed were not up to par when it came down to see numbers on the rollers. This is why I always preach, “buy quality the first time and then you don’t have to spend twice.”

With that said, knock off fuel items were bought and installed the first go around as we tried to calibrate this vehicle on a fresh built engine, used Precision turbo 62mm turbo, CSF radiator, Speedfactory FMIC & hood exit exhaust, Tial 60mm WG, Hondata CPR & S300, Fuse E85R.

Well that first session was a complete disaster as the POS Bosch 2200cc and China made dual pumps, 5 gal. fuel tank and lines deteriorated from the ethanol fuel and contaminated the whole fuel system. Besides that the pumps just failed during a pull. At the time we decided to abandon the calibration and resume at a later time when we can buy some better components. We ripped the fuel pump and replaced it with a Aeromotive A1000 inline and got rid of those injectors and replaced with some Fuel Injector Development 2000cc units. Cleaned the whole fuel system and then got her back on the rollers.

This time on the rollers it did not disappoint as we managed to make some sauce on the Dyno Dynamics. Here are the results.

2016 Subaru WRX – Install & Protune

Just wrapped a busy work week and in this post we have a client with a 2016 Subaru WRX that we dyno tested when it was completely stock. Now he came back after he installed some items and we installed a Grimmspeed top mount intercooler, some NGK spark plugs and amsoil oil and filter.

After the install was complete that evening we placed the car on the dyno and commenced to the ProTune on this vehicle. Needless to say we found some very nice gains as we left the psi at 19.7 and made power all throughout the power band.
Mods on the vehicle: GS TMIC and EBCS, Cobb Tuning APv3, Invidia DP & R400 CBE, PLM Chargepipe, AEM intake.


Special thanks to Travis for trusting us with his ride.
