Gawrx 458hp 440tq

Tried to get this car tuned for the last time but once again ran into ECU limitations. We had to stop at 26psi since the stock wrx ecu was basically maxed out.

26psi pumpgas and meth

 

specs?and what transmission does he have?

 

JDM v7 6 speed.

Nice numbers for 26 psi. What limits did you hit with the stock ecu?





Gary, you really need a race gas tune to see what that setup is cpapble of.

 

was maxing out the big maf at 300g/s there is no way on the wrx's ecu to raise that limit higher than 300g/s

 

So I take it mine is maxed out as well then?

 

yup

 

What do you think about the hacks mentioned here?

so this guy came up with that one day while daydreaming :eek3: wish my mind worked like that!

 

Problem with doing that is you loose all resolution. Yes it would work, but I wouldn't imagine that the car would drive all that smoothly.

 

what kind of turbo was he running?

 

GT35r

 

Nice numbers Doug and Gary. Is this with an STi long block or WRX heads?

 

AR Fab built STI longblock. Or so I was told...

 

As noted above it's an AR Fab fully built shortblock with stock STi heads/cams ( 9.5:1 CR), not running AVCS.
Garrett GT35R with .63 a/r.
Fujitsubo EL headers.
SMC meth inj.
EcuTek
JDM 6spd
Great tune once again by Doug.......Thanks

 

WOw, that kind of sucks about the limitations of the stock ECU. I guess Garyw ill have to go with Hydra or some other stand alone to get by this limitation?

 

If he goes with the Hydra he will be able to get AVCS working.....go for it!

 

would a cobb ap with a protune get by it or would it be the same outcome as ecutek?

 

It would be the same outcome with an AP. The limitation according to Doug is in the stock ECU.

 

Looking good Gary!

 

Those are amazing numbers, my friend. I bet that thing hauls some serious glutes.

 

Hmmmm this is making me think that it may be pointless for me to build my 2.5L as I'm using the WRX ECu with EcuteK.

 

wow. looks like i need to go get some meth and a retune.

 

Sounds like GAWRX and LiquidForce should get 80mm MAF housings and a retune for mo-powa!

 

BADass NUMBERS, that's all i want for christmas!!!

 

what IS the limitation in the stock ECU?

 

anybody from topspeed, when is it good to get an estimate about parts and tuning for a turbo upgrade? i had like 5 people in my area wich said i have a nice car, and i mean guys with BMW's and Audis oh and a tundra, lol. the problem i would like to be faster.:ddirty::ddirty: my e-mail it's: exotik@comcast.net

Thank you TOPSPEED:bowdown:

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

I don't think anyone knows. Siegel told me go 80mm MAF housing and I'll make 500 all day if the engine and turbo lets me.
