DadSled Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I know Rodrigo & Juan they work on my car. They book for Mike Botti who flies down from up north to do Subie tunes once every month or two. For this next trip, he's already fully booked First thing though I want to go back to a catted downpipe. As per Cobb, their OTS tunes require catted. I want performance but above all I want the motor not to explode or quit Not sure but believe Rodrigo from WRXexperts in Miami does Accessport tunes . They tuned by brothers Subie and says they really did a great job with the tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DadSled Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I went with e-tune..........Bren Tuning tuning paused, though, after 2 maps until leakdown test Friday and a new boost control unit tomorrow There is a Subaru specialist in riveria beach... a little bit north but absolutely will get the job done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DadSled Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 the first two maps Bren Tuning sent made a huge difference, was running better already but he paused tuning til I tracked down a mechanical issue. he was right. a hose from the intake had popped off and was leaking bad. also upgraded from OEM 2-port to Cobb 3-port boost solenoid so I'm kinda 'starting over' now, even though I've already seen significant improvements. so far so good leet me know what are your results with brent tuning, because im tempted on going with an stage 2 e-tune from him on my spec b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DadSled Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I think Bren Tuning knows what they're doing, but I would only recommend an e-tune with anyone if your car has no CELs or mechanical issues which could affect the tune progress. Right now after 3 maps from Bren my car is still throwing a Fuel Bank 1 running lean CEL so tuner isn't reading any of my datalogs or sending any new maps. Meanwhile after 30 days, my e-tune 'contract' runs out The tuner says it's not his map, it's a mechanical issue. The local (very professional) Subie shop says the car checks out, it's probably the tune causing it. So I'm stuck in no man's land & it's starting to get aggravating the first two maps Bren Tuning sent made a huge difference, was running better already but he paused tuning til I tracked down a mechanical issue. he was right. a hose from the intake had popped off and was leaking bad. also upgraded from OEM 2-port to Cobb 3-port boost solenoid so I'm kinda 'starting over' now, even though I've already seen significant improvements. so far so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DadSled Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) All good. after we found a hose that popped loose, zip-tied it. installed new 3-port boost unit. reflashed to new map, reset ECU. still throwing same P0170 running lean for days. went back to shop, we immediately saw another hose / wastegate, had popped off. no ways we would both have missed that the first time. my guess is that it hap'd after we installed the 3-port. more boost? anyway we fixed that, reset ECU. idle is finally stabilized (since I bought the car, really...) CEL is gone, crazy amount of power and dare I say it the thing is almost too fast for my taste. it's way more speed than is even useable on the street, at least, in the crappy crowded boring roads of Miami... i think the car is officially bonkers now. sounds like chirping parakeets and goes like a rocket. just, no stickers rims bumpers flames etc three more datalogs today, finally moving on to next tune map... and this is exactly what im afraid off, if any mechanical issue arises, then like u i could become stuck with no tune and loss of the money if i dont fix it in 30 days!

peteyjr Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 LGT's are a dying breed , whatever meets are out there are WRX/STI and probably now BRZ kids . It was like that even 5-6 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GravityGear Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hola. I just moved to NCFL, Gainesville. Would be nice to meet some of you guys! I know there's probably not much going on here with the subaru scene, but I'd be willing to drive out to Jax if there's more scene there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
