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.

2017 Subaru STi – Install & Calibration

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 Subaru STi – Stage 3 install & Calibration

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 IAG – 93oct calibration

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

2013 Subaru WRX – IAG + APV3 calibration

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.
