Category : Automobile Performance

This is a return client whom bought some nice Gram Lights wheels from us.  Well he was at it again and this time it was some preventive items that he wanted to add to the mix. After those items were installed he wanted us to do a calibration on his vehicle.
Contacted our reps and soon the IAG Performance, Cobb Tuning and Killer B Motorsports items arrived.

The IAG Air Oil Separator was not given a close up picture, but it was installed. You can see it on the left side of the top mount intercooler.


Above is the dyno jet comparison chart showing the whp vs PSI.  Next up we will be upgrading the TMIC, EBCS and regular maintenance.

2019 come in to get a plethora of items installed.  This client just recently moved to the state of LA and was looking for a reputable shop to take care of his vehicle.

When the vehicle first came into the shop it was a hot summer day and we placed it on the dyno to get some baseline numbers first.

Now after the baseline was done then we proceeded to start installing the items.

In addition we recommended the client to install a  #killerboilpickup and windage tray as well as a #iagaos

2016 Subaru STi – RevWorks RW750 build

Tags :

Category : Automobile Performance

Local Subbie owner came to our shop after he had some engine issues with his vehicle. Car was previously worked by another shop and also tuned to what we see were stage2 mods.  Well we confirmed that it was down on 2 cylinders so in comes a call to our go to short block guys….Rev Works Inc.

After looking at the budget and the power goals of this vehicle the owner decided on a RW750_Stage3 short block.
We had to wait to finalize other projects and builds so with the patience of the owner we are finally in the middle of this project.  Here we leave you with some of the pictures of where we are at with this build.



More parts are arriving, as today the upgraded TMIC from Grimmspeed just showed up.

After the build of the engine and installation the car was treated to some #amsoil break in oil for the initial start. That oil was evacuated and then a second oil change with amsoil break in oil was inserted. 500 miles were put on that oil and then the car returned to have that break in oil evacuated. The Amsoil Signature series oil was installed and the tuning on pump 93oct began.

We are awaiting some speed density kit and an upgraded injectors to take
advantage of some ethanol E85R

2018 Subaru WRX – Calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

2018 Subaru WRX came in to get a Cobb AccessportV3 and then mapping.  On a warm evening night here in NOLA, 90F, 56% mumidity and 30.03 baro we slapped a stage1 OTS to start proceedings this night.  This vehicle did not have any mods, it was totally stock with only 17k miles in the odometer.

Here are the before and after both in Dyno Dynamics numbers and then in dyno jet comparison mode.  Runs were made at 19psi tapering to 12psi levels in 4th gear.

2012 Infiniti G37 6MT – UpRev Calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

On this nice spring day in Southern Louisiana we had the chance to calibrate this manual transmission Infiniti G37.
This vehicle came in thanks to the referral from Christopher, it is always nice to have a client that is knee deep in the local street race scene and sends clients our way from time to time.
So with that said in comes this 2012 Infiniti G37 with 159k miles on the odometer.

Mods on this vehicle were only Stillen Gen3 intakes and a test pipe.  Everything else was stock on this vehicle.

Ambient conditions on the day of the calibration, 76F, 59% humidity and 30.31 baro.  All runs were done in 4th gear.

Blue line is the baseline run – 273whp
Green line run – is where we hit a wall and could not gain any more WHP.  At this moment is when we started checking things as spark plugs, oil level (once again) and even called the client to ask him how many miles the engine oil had.  One of the indicators on the datalog was the intake cam adv. was reporting some odd numbers.

We were told that he did not know how many miles on the engine oil, so we did a oil flush and then added fresh oil and filter.  When it comes to lubrication of engines no better brand than Amsoil as we use that brand in many of our client’s vehicles.
Red line run – is immediately after we changed the oil and no changes were done to the calibration from the Green line.  The power of proper lubrication in the internals!


For all you dyno jet people here is the chart in comparison mode, before and after results.

2016 Subaru STi – RevWorks Short block install

Tags :

Category : Automobile Performance

A client came in one day to have his car calibrated.  As the dyno test was being done we noticed that the engine was not making the right power for the boost level that it was in.  After a compression test was made on this EJ engine, it revealed that a short block was needed.  Later it was discovered that the vehicle did not have the right calibration with the parts necessary for that level of power and psi that was being delivered to the engine.  This created a issue to the turbo and the oem turbo gave up the ghost. Along with the oem turbo getting damaged the engine lost compression in 2 cylinders.

Now that we needed a new short block in came the guys from RevWorks Inc.  Got together with Scott the president of that company and he guided me in the right direction to get this vehicle back on the road.  Took a few months to get the short block built and sent to us but it is finally in the shop and the build is coming together.  Here are the specs of the short block from RevWorks:

RW_EJ25_Stage2_ Block 100mm (RW600)

OEM STi Crank
Manley H Beam rods
ACL Race Rod Bearings
ACL Race Main bearings
Wiseco AP 100mm 9:1 Pistons
New Case Bolts (Mains)
KillerB oil pick up
ARP Headstuds / OEM full gasket kit

In a few days we will be having the new engine in the bay and ready for the break in procedure as per the RevWorks instructions.

3/12/19 – This is where we are at the moment on this build.  Hoping to get one item in to continue with putting all the parts back on the engine.



Slight Port matching and polish done in house for these TGVs.

2005 Nissan Titan – Headers install & Calibration

Tags :

Category : Automobile Performance

Client arrived with wanting to get some JWT camshaft installed on his 2005 Nissan Titan, but we talked him into getting some bolt on first before going that route.
In comes a nice ceramic coated JBA headers install and after that the truck went to Custom Mufflers in Kenner for some custom exhaust work. The guys at that place did a bang up job on getting him some Borla and Magnaflow components in there to connect correctly to the 3″ VBands from the JBA headers.

When the vehicle returned from the exhaust shop we got it on the rollers and started the UpRev calibration to see what we could squeeze out of the pump gas.  Truck came in with a Airaid intake as well.

Titan Dyno Run

At the end this exhaust modification and calibration really woke this vehicle up, we were really impressed how the WTQ is delivered in this truck now after these changes.

2016 Subaru STi IAG – 93oct calibration

Tags :

Category : Automobile Performance

One of our good clients had a mishap on 2016 Subaru STi, yeah you all know the infamous ringland failure due to the crummy OEM oil pick up. So he did not waste time in going for something better that will give his AutoX duty vehicle the piece of mind.  In comes the short block from IAG, and a plethora of performance parts to take advantage of this wonderful robust short block.

Parts on this build include great performance names such as:

Fuel Injector Development 1300cc / Tomioka Racing GTX2971R / Radium Engineering FPR / Gates Racing belt
Mishimoto Rad. cap / KillerB Motorsports oil pick up & windage / IAG Short block, TGV Delete kit, Fuel rails & spacers / Torque Solution Fuel Line kit / Cometic Headgaskets / OEM gasket kit, oil pump & water pump / Grimmspeed TMIC coupler kit / ACT Heavy Duty Street Clutch.

I am sure I am forgetting something but nevertheless I will add it later.  So on to the pictures of the parts of this build and then on to the dyno calibration after a proper break in procedure.


We left the vehicle at the moment sporting only the 93octane calibration at 18psi, because later we are going speed density and really turning up the notch on the EBCS to get us where this car will be performing duties for AutoX.

From the previous calibration with the stock turbo we ended up at 300whp and now with the new set up we are sitting at 350whp / 360wtq with the same psi levels on the GTX2971R

2004 Subaru WRX hatch – Accessportv2 calibration

Category : Automobile Performance

On the afternoon of Saturday we got this client all the way from northern part of our state come in to get his car dialed in. Thanks to some of the members at solasec for the referral.

This 2004 Subaru WRX hatch came sporting a ej257 motor along with a few mods that warranted it to need a calibration.  Mods on the vehicle included: eBay 16g turbo / Perrin FMIC / TGV delete / EBCS / DW750cc / APv2
Turbo back exhaust / Grimmspeed ebcs.
Car came in sporting a very odd erratic boost curve, so we first did a boost leak test and our tech found a leak in the recirculation valve.  This was fixed and then the calibration was able to take place.

Calibration was done in 4th gear and ambient temps of the day: 68F, 42%, 30.30
