Why u no tune?

[STI7]

Ohk so ive just been told by St Hi Tech that they cannot do an ecu reflash for me, with the the mods I have. Which are:

Master power 545r

Hks 660 injectors

Tomei fpr

Deatchwerks pump

GFB ebc

Full custom twisted exhaust manifold

Fmic

Tial gate

Tial bov

Do I actually need an aftermarket ecu for this?? Because my wallet tells me I dont...

help/advice/knowledge appreciated!!

Pretty sure Kris pran is running a more complex setup around the 300kw mark on the standard V7 ecu. So it might be time to find a different tuner?

[94 Leone]

The only thing the car isn't gonna understand is fpr & injectors? Everything else is well within ironing range of the v7 computer

[STI7]

Oh true? I will try hit him up and see where he got his tuned. Can I just adjust the fpr to the injectors specified pressure and itl be fine? I havnt driven the car yet. But just waiting on a few things then tune

[94 Leone]

The injectors running the same latency as the original ones? That's where you're likely to run into issues, u less they were like a straight swap with factory ones in which case one would assume run the same frequency/latency etc.

[iphillipnz]

His is road tuned with a guy overseas I think. Hit him up, I'm not too familiar with what you can get done on the V7 ECU.

[STI7]

Ohk thankyou im just waiting on a reply from him.. man all along I thought that these were allgood just for a road tune. You learn something new everyday

Nope thats rangi as f. Torque could do it and imagine gcp can too. Raijin would have no problem doing it and bloody good value.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

Injector latancy can be adjusted in stock ecu, and fuel pressure isnt monitored by ecu iirc

Sochi hates subaru tuning. 9 times out of 10 he'll say no.

I'd have a chat to raijin, he's bloody good, and a damn good price

[STI7]

Torque? Gcp? Raijin is fully booked out hence why im seeking elsewhere

Oh I see now haha. He (soichi) sure did cut me off in the emails!

The only thing GCP can do these days is sell you a house. He's no longer a choice for tuning.

[Kiwi_Fozze]

i only know of one person who's managed a tune from him, and he was reluctant to do it, even then. its not a bad tune...

next port of call (IMHO) would be to pappu (spoon) as he does a pretty good road tune, or save the pennys and go to GCP

last i was aware of, torque used ecutek for their tuning, which has to be licenced, and locks the factory computer so only they can ever adjust the tune, even with the fancy kit that wingers have, they can't even pull fault codes once its been locked. (turns all 16 bit ecu's into bricks if you loose contact with the tuner, or they loose your license key, so thats all v7,8, and 9 subarus)

Cant wait for al? Hes under half anyone else. Try e&h, glenn suckling and speedsource.

No idea if cappers left. I heard kent was playing down there a while ago.

This!

Fuel pressure isnt monitored by the ecu, if your gonna up the pressure the fueling tables needs to adjusted.

It seems like every freaking tuner in nz with a shop is out their make their cut on link ecu's. I cringe everytime someone recommends a link ecu for a fairly modern car. You know when they say your ecu cant be done? Its a subtle way of saying they have no experience with the subaru stock ecu tuning and if they take your car on they'll basically have no idea what the **** they're doing.

Ive been e-tuned by IAG, they arent nz based.

I suggest you look at Dynotech Industries, Phil knows what the **** his doing.

Your etuned and safely pushing 300wkw- on vd with a gt3071 in nz? Thats pretty impressive.

[ginganinja]

GCP is setting his dyno up again to do a bit of tuning here and there. but it isn't up and going yet. not too sure when it will be but should be sometime soon.

[kris_pran]

Its reading a tad more then 300kw on vd, ive learnt to take vd results with a pinch of salt. Tuner was impressed but wasn't surprised with the results it made on airboy dyno. Not out of the norm though, blouch units are kick ass.

It does however eat alot high powered 280+kw evo's but thats another story id rather not discuss on the forums. The real test is when i take it out to masterton track for the 4/6cyl drag event.

GCP fudges dyno numbers to impress customers. *you heard it here first*

[STI7]

Ohk ive hit up Dynotech so waiting on a reply. Hope I can still get a tune this year! Fingers crossed

[kris_pran]

Phil at dynotech is a pretty busy guy bud so if he doesnt get back to you, it might be because his tied up at work. Would be best to give him a call during the day if he doesnt respond.

I agree on the gcp front documented from my tune 2 years ago. Went 227wkw but didnt feel like it. Tune felt like it was about spool and power and lacked the niceties of a daily tune.

Off topic but do you have headwork and is it stock location with 3in inlet?

[kris_pran]

Correct, stock location 3 inch inlet and no headwork. Some fellas on rexnet are making the same numbers as i am with the same turbo so im glad the numbers are normal not overly high.
