wassup everybody!

im soon getting my AccessPORT, any suggestion b4 installation? I have a CATback(HKS hi-power) exhaust running on 91 octane. i wanna make sure running ok.

Any other upgrades b4 i modify the ECU? thanks in advance..

 

Get a down pipe

 

yes

 

Downpipe and uppipe. Don't run stage two without a downpipe though. Try the Ca. specific maps as well.

 

No need for uppipe, the 06 wrx comes with a catless uppipe...those lucky bastads!

 

Duh, I forgot about that.

I think the cobb stage 2 makes like 340 tq.
I'd defenitely look into a protune from a reputable tuner also.

 

yup catless uppipe for me..so should i dyno after i install stage 1? or i should wait for the down pipe first? cuz i was gonna dyno my wrx right after i install the AP stage 1.

 

the good thing about the AP is that you can grow with your mods. I suppose you could do stage 1 now, get the dp and flash the stage 2 map, and then get dyno'd. However, depending on you location, I'd suggest getting ProTuned too. Thats when they make a custom map for your car, it'll run a little better than those OFS maps. Also, be sure to use the CA specific maps....our gas sucks

If youre in Northern CA I'd suggest getting tuned by Ed at eq-tuning...if you wanna go that route.

 

Cool... Wat do u mean by ProTune? is it a place where i get it dyno'd?

 

Protune is a custom tune...MUCH better than the standard maps on the AP. If I were you, I would flash to stage 1, and save for a downpipe. Once you get the downpipe, flash to stage 2.

Then take it to a tuner and have them custom tune it on the dyno. When its protuned, the basemap is tweaked to your individual car...cuz no two cars are the same.

There are quite a few tuners that can do it in CA, and if its far, it would still be worth driving 5+ hours for a safer, more powerfull map designed for YOUR car.

 

thanks for the reply, yes i do have a tuner near my hometown. thats sound good thanks again!

 

Where do you live?

 

im from california, san francisco. theres a tuner here by hayward.

 

There's a few shops by you.

Are we sure the 06 WRX has a catless uppipe? My friend that owns an 06 TR says that he is pretty sure it's catted, and that the STi's are catless.....

 

+1 on wanting to know as well
