2017 Subaru STi – Install & Calibration

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.
OEM oil items vs the Killer B Motorsports goodies.



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


2011 Subaru STi – APv3 Calibration

Finally got a chance to see a client I was helping out over e-tune.  This client had installed a some items to his stock EJ257 and after that he needed our help to get him going.  At the time when I was sending him the calibrations our AWD dyno was down for maintenance and we had to postpone the visit. Fast forward a few month and he finally made some time in his busy schedule to come see us.  He could not have chosen a better day as ambient conditions in the day were very favorable to dyno calibration.

Mods on the vehicle were:

Stock turbo / stock TMIC / Cobb Tuning 1050x injectors / AEM 340lph fuel pump / TGV Delete / Cobb SF intake
Cobb Turbo Inlet / Exhaust Cobb Tuning TBE / Cobb Tuning APv3



Runs were made in 4th gear S# / Ambient conditions at the shop on this date 80F, 53% humidity and 30.07 baro

2008 Subaru STI – ProTune Stage2

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.
