2016 Subaru WRX – Install, Maintenance & Calibration

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.

2003 Toyota Celica GT – Haltech Sprint 500

Had a return visit from a previous client that I had the pleasure of tuning his vehicle in NA condition as we fitted a custom harness and a Haltech sprint 500.  That was a year ago and now he was hungry for some more power so the client went bought and installed a turbo kit for this 1zz-fe engine with manul transmission.

Here are the mods from this kit:

  • 650cc injectors
    HKS SSQ BOV
    TURBOSMART 38mm WASTEGATE with dump pipe
    Turbo 2.5 PIPING
    AEM FUEL REGULATOR
    60mm turbo
    Manual boost controller
    Deatschwerks 265PLH fuel pump
    SUBARU STI MAF AIRMETER 2.75 pipe housing.
    Light weight flywheel
    Stage 2 clutch
    Stage 1 Crowder camshafts
    Supertech valves springs.
    3in downpipe no cat
    7 heat range spark plugs

So car came in on a tow truck since it would not run right of course with the new bigger injectors. Got the fuel dialed in and then it was on to the rollers for further tuning on the Haltech Sprint500.

After the tuning was completed there are some other things that still need to be addressed but at least we were able to find a comfort spot for the boost and the power delivery for the moment.

Purple line was tuned in N/A configuration.

Blue line is now in its boosted condition @10psi.
That little twitch at 5600 rpms has been rectified as we were getting a little spark blow out.

Here are the Dyno Jet simulated number for that same run.
