Car Info: EQ Tuned * Corn Juiced '05 WRX
This is an 05 WRX that we finalized yesterday. We tried to tune this car before, but the Blouch turbo was having some major boost creep. So ported the wastegate for the customer and everything works great now. This car has:
Blouch Big 16G
DW650cc Injectors
APS 65mm CAI
STI TMIC
Perrin Inlet
Walbro
Hallman MBC
EQ Custom Tune on 91 Octane:

Thanks

actually just kidding! =]I shot brendan an email this morning about switching my 1300cc injectors out to 850cc. If you guys did that for me, would i have to retune or can you, Ed, just fuss around with the A/F ratios to compensate for the smaller injectors. Also, I'm seriously thinking E85, I'm starting to want more power now! I know you can help wit that ED

Here is one of our bigger builds that we got to tune yesterday:
- 2007 STI
- EQ Tuning Stage 1 Shortblock
- EQ Tuning Stage 2 Heads with BC 272 Cams
- EQ Tuning Twin Scroll Kit (Headers, UP, DP, Dual Tial 38mm Wastegates, fittings, lines, etc)
- Garrett GT35r with ATP 1.06 a/r Divided Housing
- EQ Tuning Rotated FMIC Kit (Treadstone core, EQ Piping, Greddy RZ BOV)
- EQ Tuning Rotated Short Ram Intake
- EQ Tuning Baffled Catch Can
- EQ Air Pump Delete Plate
- Invidia 3" Catback
- Hallman MBC
- Dual Walbro Fuel Pumps
- DW1000cc Injectors
- Spec Stage 3 Clutch
- EQ Tuning Custom Tune using Cobb AP V2
This is a project we've been working on for quite some time. The customer got the engine broken in and we did the first full 91 Octane tune yesterday. The engine has about 900 miles on it, so we didn't push things too hard. This is the first car with our twin scroll setup that we've tuned so far and I'm very pleased with the results. We were seeing full boost (19.5psi) by 4300-4400RPM in 3rd gear and managed to get it up to 390whp at the low boost levels! While the boost threshold is very impressive for a turbo this size with cams, the transient response and low end drivability is simply amazing!
We did run into a MAF limitation and that is part of the reason boost was kept low. We have revised our MAF flanges since this build which significantly extends the range, but the customer will likely be going with a standalone in the future to take full advantage of the setup on race gas and to allow for a more accurate tune. With the MAF being near its limits, I was not able to extract as smooth of a curve as I'd like, but the car feels phenomenal on the road.
I started the tune on the dyno and got the car up to about 360whp keeping things very mild just to get everything set up. Then we took it out on the road and I ended up spending a good 2-3 hours on the road massaging AVCS and timing and ended up picking up an extra 30whp while keeping EGT's bellow 1500F! The end result was some of the most power I've seen out of a Subaru on 91 Octane with awesome response and a very mild tune.
Here is the road dyno chart:

Here is an 09 WRX on E85 we finished up yesterday. The car has the following mods:
Catless TBE
TurboXS FMIC and Intake
EQ Tuning Custom Blow-Through MAF piping
Greddy RZ BOV
Walbro Fuel Pump
Hallman MBC
DW1000cc Injectors
EQ Tuning Custom Tune
We made the blow-through piping and finished up the tune on this car yesterday. So far this is the quickest and best running 09 WRX I've done. I was asked to keep the torque relatively "mild" due to the 5 speed, so we kept peak boost to 22psi.
I started the tune on our Dynocom chassis dyno and touched it up on the road.
Here is the chart from the dyno tune:

And here is the road dyno chart:

As you can see, the car spooled a bit faster on the road which resulted in a bit more torque and an earlier torque peak. It was also able to carry more power out to redline due to the increased airflow at high speed on the road as compared to the dyno environment. There were no changes in timing between the two pulls, just a couple very small corrections in a/f.
This comparison also clearly shows how I calibrated our dyno to read very closely to my road dyno software. Considering the difference in conditions between the road and dyno, the results are VERY close. FYI, I am running a .85 correction factor on the chassis dyno to achieve this calibration.
Just for fun, here is the same chassis dyno chart without the .85 correction:

400whp VF52 anyone?
*** Standard Dyno Chart Disclaimer ***
This software reads low and should be compared to the lower reading mustang dynos. Here are some proven numbers and trap speeds for reference:
Stock WRX - 155-165whp
Stock STI - 215-225whp
265-275whp - 107-108mph traps
300-310whp - 112-113mph traps
325-335whp - 115-116mph traps
380-390whp - 122-123mph traps

Hey Ed, Taylor from humboldt county with the silver STi hybrid 02 recommended me to you. How much would you charge for OS web tuning of a tune that was done by another tuner? I'm having issues of going too rich at WOT. He told me he can't get any closer without a wide band? 2007 2.5i 4EAT. Btw I put down 153whp on a road dyno with bolt ons and tune
