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

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.
