[STI Forester]

they are pretty good.. the stock turbo is rather small but generally its a well setup car

i have worked on a few of them for various power mods and still keeping them very practical

 

what area are you in

[Fixed back seats into a V7 STI]

there are no airbags in the v7/8/9 sti seats so nothing to worry there

[RA Roof vent on V7 Wagon]

exactly the same place bro ..

will be a cool wagon mod all right!!!

[Getting tune... Guess the numbers]

the boost has held well in the top end tho...

mapped through the stock solenoid or a ebc?

Im seeing  from 193.7 to around 230. Very interesting.

@4G63B8 got 220 with same mods and @Inked got 210 (tuned by chris) with just exhaust iirc . I hope my numbers are similar but numbers only tell part of the story when getting a proper tune so im not too worried about them.

4g65b8 had a stock boost contoller so you have the advantage there

plus he was road tuned

 

some days i wish i had a dyno in the back yard heheh 

 

free dyno runs for all subies all day!!

[Getting tune... Guess the numbers]

depending opn engine condition maybe 220kw as that seems to be what we get out of v7 sti..

altho sometimes some cars do wonders .. hoping ur one gets some solid  numbers..

keen to see

[injector and fuel pump upgrade.]

the dw200 is pretty cheap and gets 300kw ..

for injectors you can always decap the v7+ top feed and they get abt 850cc.. (flowtest them)

tunes out fine as well.

do a split rail while at it (can use stock rails if needed) and optionally an fpr if you can .

 

thats a budget setup that will work fine..of course you can get better components if the budget allows thats for sure..

 

[Tuners]

if in auckland, i can help out with that ...

[Snapped Up Pipe]

just put another hose on it bro as the solenoid does not mind at all if you swap the stock hose

[Oil in loom]

clean the oil, put new washers in the sensors (avcs sensor on both sides)

degrease and contact cleaner on all electical connectors

electrical contact cleaner on ecu plugs and ecu loom

Yes

thanks man..

 

I read up something abt the density of AVgs being different to petrol and needs different targets.. whats all that about (or is that a non-issue)

[using avgas as a octane booster?]

Can run more timing than unleaded. Only usefull if knock limited. The dilution of the oil and the residue left on spartan plugs, ports and exhaust are a pain though. Same lambda targets as unleaded. 

thanks for that bro!

 

is it the same afr targets for straight avgas vs say 50/50 mixed with pump gas?

[using avgas as a octane booster?]

Hey fellas - digging up an old thread but....

 

Does anyone know whats involved in tuning an engine to run on a mix of avgas and 91 fuel (or even straight avgas - unsure how good that will be)

 

Note - its an overseas car (so nothing to do with legality of things in NZ) 

 

 

Questions:

 

any ideas on target AFR for avgas (for best power)

does it indeed take additional timing without hitting knock

possible to run higher boost with avgas mix

 

 

Wanting to heat form ppl who have used/tuned for this fuel

i know few people here run that (for race use) so would be good to get some comments on that

The only wheel sizes that matter are the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel. Followed maybe by the steering wheel

hit the spot right there bro!!!!!

 

[V7 Wheel sizes]

the v7 sti wheels look nice on your wagon (assuming the one in the pic in ur sig) ..

rear hip spoiler be a nice addition

I may be able to hunt down my 231kw VF34 tune? Might be a bit aggressive but if you stay out of the throttle it should be OK.

that was on your v7?

mind sending to me if you have it?

[Injector Flow Testing]

there is a place in Manurewa who i have used the last few times to test 

was not too expensive and you can tell him what PSi you want them tested at as well 

[Gull 98 in 2007 legacy GT auto]

could be as others are saying that the e10 is allowing for it to not knock due to higher knock resistance..

we can adjust the timing to get it running better on 98 or even for e10 to ensure its all running safe.

 

 

also check for all leaks etc in case its also a mechanical issue

the reading you pulled out does show there is some room for improvement as there is some knock in the upper mid range that could as well be pulling the power down

also in the low end it looks like the overall IAM reduction may be affecting the proper timing needed hence why its sluggish there

 

ideally you want the IAM to be 1.00 if the car is setup correctly

 

fueling wise it seems to want to add a bit more fuel on the top end so may need adjustments there as well depending how much the AFR actually is

[Dyno leaderboard V4]

HI Admin,

 

could we perhaps add another category to the mods list and break it down further - seeing as there are so many ECU's out there these days like Link and Autronic and so many others. Also unsure if we can add a category for turbo and boost level so others get some guidelines/inspiration on what all is going on....

thanks guys

[BH legacy GT front speakers]

anyone know what size speakers to get to replace the factory front door speaker?

alo, does the stock cd/tape unit have an aux input at the back - had read it somewhere but cant seem to find..

thanks

[be5 b4 rev d ecu reflashing auckland]

still running twin or u done a single turbo conversion. we have done a few single convertion tunes with good results

[Needing v7 wrx help]

nice exhaust (swap up pipe if your one has a cat)

sti top mount (or FMIC if you want)

VF23/30/22 turbo

decap injectors if you can or sti pinks

tune

will be a nice street car all over. have done a few of them and they get a lot better over the stock wrx setup.. dont need to push too much boost to get some decent results

[Reflashes/Road tunes in Auckland]

my 2C .. open source tuning is great if you know what you are doing and dont get too greedy..

most of the time if you get greedy then things dont work out well..

for all the tunes i have done, i have done has not been pushed to unsafe levels and the results have been nice for the ownwers as usually end up with more power and a safer running car tuned to the fuel they use..
