bren tuning of my 02 wrx

[dzkwrx]

just another awesome review for bren. as stated before he went through everything he was doing and why. made the car idle better, drive better, have better throttle response, and spool quicker and maintain it. great guy as well. love the new m3 and i was the first to use his new equipment..lol.

Autos tough to road dyno. This starts when 2nd shifts to 3rd and the converter locks

not bad for 90 degree weather.

15.8-16 psi peak.

looks good! how do you like the gimmick tbe? I like a lot of their stuff, and its really affordable.


and nothing wrong with an auto.. you'll have to deal with mine when its all done :lol:

the exhaust is great. it is tight up against the body. everyone seems to say the same thing. i heated and bent the hangers alittle or i guess you could get kartboys longer ones. it has a good sound without drone or excessive noise. you know its there but its not the only thing you hear. i got it from subimods and the gimmick crankpulley for 356 shipped.

just wanted to add that bren had a very easy time tuning my car. and i wanted to inform everyone on what i did. it will help him and help you and your car more...my car has 130k miles on it and its better than new.

1. seafoamed the engine,and added the rest to the fuel sysytem
2. new fuelfilter,pcv, and cleaned my maf sensor and perrin filter.
3. installed new fuelpump. TRE 255lph. no pump noise either.helped the tune at top end alot.
4. ngk 1 step colder plugs. got them from subaruwrxparts.com.
5. and fresh fluids in the oil,tranny and rear diff.(not needed for tune but helps the health of the car alot. i used full synthetic in all of mine.

Bren had a very easy time and was able to get right to work on the tune instead of trying to work out bugs and wrench on the car. If anyone has questions or needs help installing any of these or anything else, let me know. I have been an ASE certified tech for over 10 years and would gladly help anyone. just wanted to include this for everyone as a guide so they can have great results as well.
