The gf can have my boosted 86.... I'll take a V8 to go. Or do I get her the 2.3T version and keep the 86, I can't decide?

Change brake pads, problem solved

I said I would. The maps can be found here - http://www.procedetuning.com/BRZ_FR-S/downloads-4/files/FA20%20ROMS%20v1.31_beta.zip These are for use with the OpenFlash Tablet - good bit of kit. You can look at and change the maps using TunerPro, a free to use tuning suite - http://www.tunerpro.net/downloadApp.htm. Thought some people may be interested in what maps exist on our ECU. I've done two comparison tables. Front is exhaust VVT timing, rear is intake. There are less changes to the inlet tables hence it's behind. Stock vs Stg. 1 (stock/basic mods retune): Stg.1 vs Stg. 2 (exhaust manifold) These tables show the difference in degrees between the 2, so 0 degrees is where the tables are the same and not necessarily actually at 0 degrees.

Keethos, log a standard map and then yours. The intake and exhaust VVT (cam) timing will be different. Thats how the "torque dip" is reduced and is 95% the cause of the smoother delivery and changes in spound. I'll grab a screenshot later of the differences a OFT map.

Moi? Maybe the post was started as most people are unaware of how tuning is actually done and believe that you can genuinely tune a car well from scratch on the road. I think this is because its a subject no one understands or how a tune is done. So far the best response was Mike's..... No surprise that it was from a tuner. There is a place for road tuning, nothing else can simulate the load conditions but its certainly not the 1st step. Power is found on a dyno, drivability is found on the street. This is nothing against Fensport as essentially they are doing this, but their car has seen the dyno in place of yours. Would be interesting if people started tuning their own cars on the currently available options (OFT/BRZedit/OpenECU), I've certainly considered doing it.

But his own turbo will have seen a dyno I'd assume, and seeing as yours is basically the same (with respect to internals and direct bolt ons) then the rest is just still fine tuning with timing and fuelling. This can be done on the road. If Adrian were to change cams and manifolds, I bet he'd head straight to a dyno. I know of no tuner who wouldn't. Even the base N/A map would have seen some dyno time before it was put up for sale.

You can't fine tune cams without a dyno, this makes manifold and internal changes a must for dyno tuning if you want the best reults. Then fine tuning can occur by using road load situations, although these can also be simulated by certain dynos. With the adaptive way these Subaru ECUs work, checking and maintaining the way they run continuously is ideal. If you do this even a dyno tune will have some form of road tuning, and this can be done away from your tuner.

Agree with you both, no questions.

I was told that the auto won't hold revs that high in neutral. ECUtek launch control not possible on auto cars. Ian, why not get your toys back then?

So cat config? How much does the stock system restrict on this setup?

Not keen. Rather the S600 or Bladeglider

Don't use the local dealer - CTP (Cheap Toyota Parts) are much cheaper http://www.gt86.org.uk/forums/forum/4-cheap-toyota-parts/

Not at all overpriced.

There is no low oil light, you have to manually check.

Similar gains to Litchfield, Fensport and Abbey Motorsport, no?

FA20Club manifold available with/without cat

He has a Subaru fleece so car must sound like a Subaru I guess.

Rev works, Borla, JDL, HKS.

Yes, or just go FI

It clears the Cusco one. Don't think it clears the TRD. All others look ok.
