Tuning it's easy but when you are in the dyno paying for the time you need to be quick and know already your kung fu .

^probably shouldn't announce that in on topic threads.


"This message is hidden because Sinister Subaru is on your ignore list. "


^ first one I ever had to block



tuning isn't that hard when you actually start looking at some logs or graphs. If you make minor changes you can see the differences on the log/graph and then make additional minor changes. You already have a base map, as long as you save it somewhere safe and don't do anything drastic you can tune yourself, trust me.

if you ever get down to Charlotte I can give you a quick tutorial. If you end up getting a wideband and the cabling I can walk you through some stuff over the phone if you like. I promise once you see how everything acts when the car is hooked up to the software it will become much simpler.

Thats 170 WHP to you buddy

It actually pulls like your evo, only fwd & non turbo buddy

My only mod is the driver and the tuner, both of which is myself - No secret buddy

Its not hard once you know what you're doing.

I believe with tuning, you need to be thrown into the deep end!

for NA: stock wrx, preludes, civics, scions, most heavy cars with v8's, most small v6's.

for turbo: stock sti and evo, pretty much all unmodded v6 vehicles, pretty much all unmodded 4cyl street vehicles, most heavilly modded 4cyl vehicles, some lightly modded high performance 6's (think z3 etc.)

you might think your car is much better than ours, but it doesn't mean our cars suck. Maybe if you could open those eyes a little an understand that people with little amounts of money have to buy little amounts of power the world would be a better place. I doubt it though
