I wanted to say thanks to Shigie, Kevin, Eric, and Lawrence for doing a great job doing the installation of my mods and tuning my car. Eric thanks for coordinating everything. Kevin and Lawrence thanks for doing a great job with the install. Shigie, you're an animal, thanks for the great tune and have a safe flight back to Japan.

If anyone is looking for a great shop, AutoHQ is the place to go. Thanks again for lending me that other DP.

Here are the results of my tune by Shigie. Went from 225 hp/ 244 tq to 278 hp/ 305 tq on the EIP dyno

Mods: Perrin catted DP, Greddy SP2 catback, Nismo 740 cc injectors, AVO wastegate actuator, Walbro 255 fuel pump, Denso 2 step colder plugs, and Ecutek tune.

 

Nice!!! You have an STI I reckon?

 

Oops failed to mention that... ya i have an STI.

 

+1 for autohq, great place to go to

 

+100 for shig and AutoHQ. he just tuned my car too.

 

Do they do Protune as well or just ECUTeck

 

ecutek is the software used to tune, the tuner flew in from japan. autohq flies him over a few times out of the year to do tunes, but they don't do any tuning themselves.

 

was it lots of bank?

you're running on stock turbo i guess huh?

 

for the price, I would go to a local tuner, but that is just me.

 

It wasn't cheap, but the guy has been doing this for almost 15 years. Ya I'm still running the stock turbo.

BTW. mcdrama: nice meeting you at the Lockheed AutoX. I was the one w/ the blue STi.

 

Yeah man, you need to drive next time! it was a lot of fun.

 

Shigenori tuned the Power FC on my Nissan. Cool guy, really quiet.

 

Sounds cool, please post some feed back on the actual tune.
Aside from dyno plot, how is drivability? Any hesitatio? Jerkyness? Etc etc.
Thanks, in advance.

 

the car is soooo smooth. if there is any turbo lag i don't notice it at all. when shig tuned i think his main goal was drivability and reliability, with power coming in at a very close second. overall, i'm very happy with the job they did.

 

nice numbers
