I always preferred 8:1 especially on poor maine 91oct.

I got a good one for you Bren. Im modding my car soon. Im gonna list out the specs and I would like to know how much power you think I would get out of the setup and what I may be able to upgrade to get more powa! Here it is!

VF36 turbo
STI pink injectors
05ish STI cams
20 or 30 over for the bore? (which one!?!)
Forged rods and pistons
new bearings
OEM ECU tune (not a stand alone)
Huge top mount intercooler
catless invidia uppipe
high flow down pipe
full 3.5" exhaust
stock top end

I think that's it. I can't think of anything else right now that will be done. What do you think a baseline HP rating and what do you think I would do to get a little more out of her with that Turbo! Thanks Bren!

VF36 twin scroll - 2.0L displacement?

You have all the thing needed at that point, just a good boost controller and a dyno tune. I would not run that car on stock ECU with those mods so I wouldnt quote a baseline. As that requres full tuning to get to it's potential. On the dyno I've done a few like yours that made 290-310whp at 18psi. If you run that on the OEM ECU flash (made for 440cc injectors and 13psi) you will most likely knock horrendously.

Dont forget we do remote tuning to all ME residents with a Cobb AP through email

[abenson100]

will you guys tune a piggy back. I have my car running decently (well it hasn't blown up yet) on an AEM FIC 6 but I need someone with more experience to fill in the gap and make the car really come to life.

currently the car:
doesn't like to come off idle
idels around 11:1 AFR
the rest of the fuel map is kinda rich but I started that way so I wouldn't kill it.
the factory timing cant be advanced off boost and is retarded 1 degree/psi
ive been feeding it 93 oct and getting an indicated 18-20 psi @9:1 CR

engine:
02 wrx block
22t heads
VF12
HUGE fmic
stock RS fuel pump
legacy ss injectors
wrx header
catless up
3" catless bell mouth down

Yes, Would need it for a few days for testing/tuning and charge would be hourly but it can be done!

[jcovey2.5]

Looking to optimize a tune to the fullest
Is there anything you would add or change on my mod list? I am also planning on getting a turbo blanket before a tune.

Thanks for the input,
Joe

sent you a pm regarding ej20k tuning!

[BG @ BrenTuning]

If you have an EJ20 with USDM EJ20 ecu we can tune - older OBD1 EJ20K ecu's are not flashable in the eeprom.
