Hey all!

I just got back from Vishnu Tuning and had the emi adapter installed as part of my (now finished) stage1 kit.

WOW The throttle response is amazing I drove the WRX over the weekend with the stage 1. With just the stage 1 (and stage 0!!) the car would have minor hesitation as you go through the power band. All that hesitation is gone, nada, niet, zilch... the only gauge on the part throttle temps was my oil temp, which now runs around 75-80c instead of the old 90c. The power delivery is so smooth, you don't have to downshift, err umm, unless you really want to..

Nothing but smooth blissful turbo spool'en fun. Just what I expected Shiv and his crew at Vishnu. Great job guys!!!!

so odd how some little thing does so much.

 

Glad you like it Chris!

Suddenly it becomes clear why we didn't release any higher-hp Stage packages until we finished such a device. Who knows, by next month, we may be up to Stage 8

Cheers,
shiv

stileg57,

It will not make the car feel like the stock ECU. The power curve is smoother than stock.

I drove to LA (~450 miles) in turkey day traffic yes it sucked. Ironically enough, coming back I bombed up Rt1 and it took the same amount of time as going down in traffic, but I digress.

At low revs, most (99%) of the low RPM hesitation is gone. The great part is, Shiv tells me that we can tune that out with the EMI adapter.

The problem mentioned on the website (I have not read it recently), happens to me at light engine load, around 3000 rpm. The engine will either surge a little, or hesitate a little depending on the engine load. It's not consistant and hard to nail down. If I drive like you 2800rpm, 4th gear, I don't see the problem (too much engine load) It's mildly annoying, but not as bad as with the hesitation you get without the EMI adapter.

You should order one, you won't be dissapointed.

 

I really appreciate the fact that Shiv lists the downsides of the EMI right on the page. Not many tuners will do that so openly, and his honestly is going to earn him my business if/when I choose to mod. Hopefully by then a next-gen version will be even more refined.

 

edit : drunk should not have posted that

 

I'd give the Vishnu staff a call to try to get the UPS tracking number. If you weren't charged until the 16th of this month (Dec), it sounds like your EMI Adapter didn't ship until that date. If that's the case, UPS is extremely busy this time of year.

I ordered the Vishnu Stage Sub-Zero (old kit with EMI Adapter, up-pipe, pulleys) on 20-Nov-2002 and received it one week later. I live close to Vishnu's location, though, so UPS doesn't take long to get it to me.

fart

I finally got this thing around the first of the year
now i get p0121 cels all the time
the service manual says to replace the tps when you get this code??

please help shiv dosen't answer on his own board.

 

Give Shiv a call during the week. He spends a lot of time dyno-tuning rexes, so you might not get him on the first try. Don't give up, though.

I can't recall which package you ordered. My (old version) Stage Sub-Zero was installed by Doug (one of the recommended installers) and I've never gotten a CEL.
