2013 Subaru WRX – IAG + APV3 calibration

Tags :

Category : Automobile Performance

On a hot summer day in the beginning of June we had the pleasure of tuning this Subaru WRX.  This WRX came from another region of the nation and needed to be calibrated for our swamp weather here in the deep south.
Ambient conditions on the day got up to 103F, at the time we ended up finishing the tune we were blessed with ambient temps dropping to 93F 56% and 30.03

The mods that were present on this vehicle we some very good ones:
IAG stage2.5 bottom end, ported head, Kelford 268cams, Garrett GT35R, Front Mount Intercooler, TGV deletes, ID1000cc, DW350lph fuel pump, Cobb APV3 and Turbo back exhaust.
Shell 93oct was used and peak PSI was reached to 21.5psi

Got to say that we got some decent power output especially since it was a miserable hot day at the shop.  Took it out of the shop in the evening, tested the vehicle on the highway and made sure that the KO and DAM were acting accordingly as it was doing in the dyno.
Special thanks to Brock for trusting us with this nice project.

2013 Subaru BRZ – Turbo install & Calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

As always first thanks be to God for giving us the opportunity to do this and help the local car enthusiast achieve their goals.  This time around thanks to a previous client Vu with the white CivicSi for recommending us his friend.
We got this BRZ and the client brought all the necessary items to make this install happen in a short turn around time frame. Tech got the car in a few days we had the car up on the lift and the JDLv2 turbo kit was making its way into the engine bay.

After we got to this stage we had to wait a few days for the Mishimoto slim fans to arrive.  Once the fans arrived it took a few hrs to install them and then the calibration process began with the EcuTek software suite.  The process of calibration was done on a nice vacant hwy and the engine was dialed in to gate pressure on the kit.  All I can say is was so stoked to see the smile on the face of the client as he drove around in his newly transformed vehicle.

2003 Nissan 350z @ IFO – UpRev

On Saturday before the race event this car arrived and needed a calibration right aways since he wanted to make it to the race event.  The motor which is a built VQ35DE which was installed, put in the engine bay by another shop and it needed to be tuned, so the client contacted us.  Time was not in our favor since it was just a few hrs before the race on Sunday. We checked the fluids and also the spark plugs since we were told that pistons on this build were a little higher compression.  We opted to put a 2step colder plug for added insurance.

Engine mods list:

Machine Work – Stage 2 VQ35 Long block / High Compression Pistons
Wiseco 96mm 11.1:1 CR
Eagle rods / ACL bearings
JWT C8 VQ35 upgraded camshafts 272 dur.  /.473 lift / JWT shim and Spring kit
Rev up Oil Pump / Kinetix intake manifold / AEM intake / TB  / CBE
Dyno Dynamics final numbers on the day.
Ambient conditions on the day 85F, 54% humidity and 30.14 baro.
For all you dyno jet people this is what it would have made on that machine when the conversion to the charts are made on the Dyno Dynamics.
Sunday was the Import Face Off event in No Problem Raceway and of course this client was ready and eager to get to the track to see what it would do. On Saturday night he tested the vehicle on a closed deserted street and he was impressed on how the car was showing its new found power.

Here is a video of 1st qualifying run of both of my clients going at it.  Jason with the red 350z made it to the final of his category and finally was bested  by a red 370z. That 370z which won the category was very consistent all day at the event.

In conclusion good showing by my client’s Z and Gs out there.

Good day guys, well right after getting back to the shop from a needed vacation, I was greeted by this 2017 Subaru BRZ.  Client had contacted us about getting his ride calibrated since he had added some items to the mix.

Items included a Perrin intake, catback exhaust,  Borla header and pulleys with a 6MT

Here is the before and after dyno chart, with a ambient conditions of 85F, 54% humidity and 30.14 baro.  Test was done in 4th gear as usual.  Launch control and Flat Foot Shifting was also added to the ecu.  Another happy customer leaves the shop and is happy with his newly added power gains.

Special thanks to Sumo for the referral.

Honda EK Civic K20a3 Turbo – Calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

We tuned this vehicle before, but this time the owner of the EK Kseries turbo decied to throw a TSX camshaft in the motor so that required some calibration on the maps.

Car came out making some good power, we still need to fix a few things with the boost control components, but all in all made some added power and the client once again left our shop satisfied. Thanks for trusting us with your tuning needs.

Ambient temps were in the 52F, 45% humidity and 30.03 baro
4th gear was used in the mapping of the K20a3 stock engine.  Boost on the Precision 5858 turbo was set to 16psi with the Hondata 4port EBCS.

The chart below show the Dyno Dynamics number for 93 octane (green line) and 93octane / Fuse E85R (red line) at the same 16psi level.

The chart above show the Dyno Dynamics simulating DJ number for 93 octane (green line) and 93octane / Fuse E85R (red line) at the same 16psi level.

2008 Subaru STI – ProTune Stage2

Category : Automobile Performance

Got a chance to post these pics from a tune we did a while back and the same client came back to retune once more.  This time the client added a Grimmspeed 3-port ebcs and Crawford AOS so with that added it needed a calibration for those added items.

     

Before this he had added these items to take him to a stage2 Protune:
Injen intake, TGV Delete, Turbo Back Exhaust, Built bottom end with Shell 93octane.  These were the before and after the initial calibration session with stage 2 items.

Ambient conditions on the calibration day, 55F, 45% Humidity and 30.13 baro
4th gear runs, boost was targeted to 19.5psi and tapers to 15psi

This chart above is the run after the 3-port EBCS was added and AOS from Crawford.  So we managed to pick up a bit of WTQ & WHP all thru the rev range, but realized that we will be needing a better TMIC and a bigger turbo to take full advantage of this built bottom end.  So for the meantime good gains and another happy client leaves the rollers.

1/20/18 Install day and recalibration.

This past Saturday we got the chance to see this same 2008 STI to install the Grimmspeed Thermal Dispersant TMIC we got for him.  Install was pretty straight forward and after it was installed and checked for no leaks it was time to hit the dyno once again.  As you can remember the previous time it was on the dyno the ambient temps were rather cold:
Ambient conditions on the calibration day, 55F, 45% Humidity and 30.13 baro.

On the day of the tune the ambient conditions were 68F, 85% humidity and 30.10 baro.  Boost was also picked up to 20psi tapering to 16psi, I have to say that this intercooler did its job, we got back to the same power levels as we witnessed on that colder day.  Below are the Dyno Dynamics and then the DJ comparison chart so you can see what we ended up with.
Pink lines are the previous run and Green line is with the Grimmspeed TMIC 259 awhp/309awtq.

Above is the dyno jet comparison chart for the Before and after Grimmspeed TMIC install.

Nissan Sentra B16 – UpRev calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

My associates in Panama contacted me and asked me if I could remote tune this Nissan Sentra B16 SpecV.  Manual transmission on this vehicle and some simple bolt ons.

I said sure lets put that UpRev on it and see what we can make on it.  The guys at Taller NB in Las Tablas did a great job of testing the vehicle and relaying the information to me in order to check out the datalog and dyno chart results from every movement that was made to the UpRev ROM.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the results and so was the owner of the vehicle in the Azuero region of Panama.

Here are the before and after runs.  We were able to extract power throughout the power band from the calibration.

A  little more tweaking and this was the way we left the vehicle at.  Very proud of what we were able to accomplish with this remote calibration session.

Category : Automobile Performance

Gentleman contacted me since he just picked up this used vehicle and wanted to make sure it was operating correctly since it seemed that it was previously modded.  the first step he did was take it to dealership to replace the oem ecu since it was throwing some codes. Once that was done he brought the car to us to calibrate it.

This 2015 Infiniti Q40 AWD A/T came in with a Stillen Gen3 intakes only, so we installed a UpRev license and started calibrating the vehicle to get a good reliable performance out of it.

After the calibration of this vehicle on this cold night we managed to increase the power output on it to a respectable number for a AWD configuration.

Ambient conditions on the night were: 52F, 39% and 30.17 Baro / all runs were done in sports mode 4th gear.

 

2013 Scion FRS – JRSC Install & Calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

After much deliberation and consulting with which direction we were going to instruct the client to go with in regards to a supercharger install.  We decided to go towards a Jackson Racing supercharger kit on this 2013 Scion FRS with Automatic transmission.

The install was done flawlessly by our trusted in-house tech, the addition of the supercharger kit to this Scion FRS was pretty straight forward and turn around was short for the client.

After the install, the next step was to flash the vehicle with a EcuTek license and then proceeded to get the vehicle to the dynamometer to map the engine.

Dyno Jet comparison numbers are shown above. Dyno Dynamics peak number for this calibration at that psi level shown on the chart was 250 RWHP.  Ambient conditions on the day were 56F, 55% and 30.27 and the gear the runs were made was 4th in Sports Mode.
