Definetly can help out. I can even show you how/what to change/tune.

Stock ECU is flashable yes but I have found so many limitations to it. especially with the later ones. Like values you cant change and tables you cant freely configure/change values enough. My theory is keep it until you find limitations you cant easly get around

Awesome, cheers.

I\'ll be in touch when I get a chance to head up those ways and hopefully we can sort something out.

[Ask your tuning questions here!]

Yep, I had it reflashed just recently, I know very little about it all. (Trying to learn, struggling though... I think it\'s def a different type of clever to know an engine)

I was just wondering, are their more gains to be had with a link over the stock or is it all in the tuning.

[Ask your tuning questions here!]

If I come up to chch in the future can you have a look at the tune and if needs be retune my v7 sti wagon? It has been recently done by a friends friend but would be nice to get a more experienced perspective on what changes can/should be made to up performance. Has quite a few mods and would like to get more raaapsh out of it. Ha it\'s the stock ecu. Would it be worth getting a link or is stock fine.

Cheers

I just recently had a AEM Water/Methanol kit installed by my mechanic into V7 sti Wagon.

Heres some pics of how he installed it.

Well maybe not. If someone lets me know how to add images i\'ll add later.

Na, no dyno sheets, was tuned by my mechanics brother on the road.

Would def like to get it on a dyno at some stage when I\'m in a region that has one.

[STI Modifications prior to remap]

To let you all know, few weeks ago I got my car sussed.

Walbro fuel pump, aem tru boost, aem water meth kit, and tune.

Going well, big difference from what it was. Can\'t help but want more out of it though...

Thanks for the advice

[V7 sti]

Anyone know where I can buy a pillar mount or any other tidy mount for a boost gauge. V7 sti 2001.

Cheers

[STI Modifications prior to remap]

So after talking to my mechanic he is going to do the following...

Walbro fuel pump

Boost controller boost gauge.

Water/methanol spray.

Tune.

Looking forward to it.

Thanks for your help.

i\'d get the GFB electronic controller, or at least a 3 port solenoid, as these can be controlled by the stock ecu and are much safer and reliable than a manual bleed valve. the tuner should be able to get these set up nicely for you.

a new fuel pump is cheep insurance against under fuelling, always worth the $$$.

EWG can also be controlled by the stock ECU and again, your tuner should be able to get this set up for you

your pod filter, is it ducted down into the guard liner? or inside the engine bay? if inside engine bay, duct it into guard, or put stock airbox back into the car. you\'ll be loosing performance if inside engine bay, as it\'s sucking in HOT air from around the motor.

i assume you have a cert for the adjusties and EWG?

your BOV can cause idle issues, but these can be worked around with a group n tune, but that\'s a totally different kettle of fish lol

Yeah it certified for the adjusties, unsure about the waste gate. Should it be certified for this?

No my pod filter is just where the airflow meter would have been by the looks of it.

I\'ll def get that plumbed down to guard duct.

Cheers for the info

[STI Modifications prior to remap]

Cool, thanks for the info.

I\'ll spend around 2g maybe more...on the extras and tuning.

Tuning I have been told around $500 , walbro fuel pump $180ish

There is a range of Frount mounts,what is a good brand that will fit the bill?

Gfb boost controller?

Anything else that would be ideal I\'ve missed?

What can I expect for mechanical time?ive got a couple of friend mechanics but if they arent keen to do it what would be a rough cost?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

I\'m looking for advice as to things i should do prior to getting my v7 STI remapped.

I recently purchased and down here in Queensntown we dont have 98 petrol.

So i plan to take it to dunedin or CHCH for remap as alot of people on this forum have highly recommeded.

Currently my 2001 V7 Wagon has the following mods.

-Full aftermarket exhaust including downpipe

-Alliminium Radiator

-Pod Filter

-Adjustable suspension

-GFB manual boost control

-external wastegate

-Heavy duty cluthch

-BOV

Can anyone give me any other small mods that should be made pror to tune to get better performance results?

500HP Fuel pump??

Thanks in advance,

The closest place I can think of is Turboshop or Apet in Dunedin. I know Apet has done quite a few remaps but both Turboshop and Apet have proper dynos, Rolling road and DynoPac Hub dyno respectively

*Edit

I just spoke with Nic for you, the owner/tuner at Apet dunedin. He said he has dones 100\'s of subaru remaps for both 98 and 95 and gets lots of the farm guys from cromwell/alex etc bringing in their sti\'s and evo\'s for 95 remaps. Basically said even on 95 he would be able to do you a good 10-15kw atw more with heaps more torque and crucially a much safer tune which will also use less fuel. (the stock v7 maps are notoriously rich)

Price wise about $500 which is actually really good. (STM in welly charges 1200, ST hytec in aucks is 1000 etc etc)

https://www.facebook.com/pages/APET/182394231808306

Here is the webpage link and address/phone number

Apet

262 Vogel Street Dunedin, Dunedin, New Zealand 9012

03-974 8291

Couldn\'t get ahold of turbo shop but I have a funny feeling Mike (the owner) doesnt do remaps there.... might be wrong.

For me personally a remap would always be the first thing I would get done on any turbo subie.

Thanks for that info! awesme.

I have been in touch with possumborne auto i think they are in CHCH i would be happy to travel if there is a better tuner further out...?

Is Apet a good reputable company or are there some better outside of my region?

Cheers

Really, no 98 in Queenstown? I seem to remember filling up my old Celica GT4 at the big BP in Frnakton with 98, and I\'m sure the last time I was there (about 1 year ago) they still sold 98?

Unfortunately no longer

Does anyone know of a reputable company to do remap near Queenstown?

Unfortunatly they no longer have 98

[v7 STI REMAP]

Hey,

I need to get my STI V7 Wagon remapped.

Can anyone recommend someone down close to Queenstown that will do a great job.

Cheers

 lunchie said:

YES you should definitely get it remapped an sti will NOT like 95. If you do run it on 95 at all then drive it bloody quietly and possibly chuck in some good quality octane booster (this is only a short term measure tho, its bad to use the booster over a long period).

Where do you live> that will decide where the best place to get it remapped is.

ahh! having just got it a week ago i definitly woldnt say i\'ve been driving in quietly... shit.

I live in Queenstown. So if there is anyone that you could recommend from Cromwell, Invecargill, Timaru, Dunedin and so on i will make the trip and get it sussed.

Will the tune be tuned to a lesser power because of only having 95?

[STI on 95 petrol]

Hello,

New to this forum and to my STI 01 BUG WAGON.

I recently bought an sti that has always been run on 98 petrol but where i live we only have 95.

Should i get car remapped? i read elsewhere i should..?

If so where is a good place down south which will do a great job.

Cheers in advance
