I looked up the Compensations for the GRB Spec C in the ROM, OEM.
Those have compensations, are not zeroed out from the factory. They are twinscroll, with TGV's. To my abillity to evaulate the compensations, I would say that the compensatins table has become more sofisticated with the GRB and the compensations entered for the Spec C, seemed "light". It seemed like the factory was "rounding out" that last 1% difference remaining. The only GRB Spec C I saw was in Ecutek (open source did not have definitions at the time), I found the ROM and a friend let me look at it. There is one Stock ROM now in open source (defined) as well, I think.

I'm assuming you all are talking about fueling comps. Interesting idea indeed, I never have had the tools or time to experiment with them accurately. I would assume EL's and/or twinscroll change them a bit. What is the cost of time and all that testing vs. benefit of being able to push fueling a little closer to the edge. I suppose it would also drive smoother at partial throttle closed loop.

I do not think that there are that many "fake" Spec-C motors, Can't remember the last time I saw a Spec-C for sale that did not have the proper hardware to back it up. I am sure there are some people that were told it was a spec-C and they wanted to believe it, but don't make it seem there are a ton of sellers out there trying to swindle people. |

Yes the hta is a single scroll. And yes again to run a single scroll you need a single scroll manifold. A gtspec was used. This was all done by the previous owner. All of the tuning was done by the late Chris at EFI.

There are no per cyl fuel comps on the 05 JDM sti rom, there are ignition comps on cyl D. That makes me suspect it is about self tuning knock/timing by running cyl 4 at higher timing if Cyl D = Cyl 4 |

In theory if VE is different cylinder to cylinder, timing and fuel comps should be adjusted to accomodate. Its just the time vs. benefit if its worth it. Maybe a intricate build where it will make it run and drive smoother.

I think I know that car. Preetty sure that motor ended up blowing a ringland, it was a v8 ej207 with a 68HTA, right?

I plan on running an assortment of sensors, I hope this is as reliable as im hoping this engine to be. I can't afford to have a car break down and just take a few days off work / school to rebuild the motor. |

Going forward I am adding all the gauges needed to help monitor this motor. I should of had a wide band but only had the car for two months before discovering the motor issue. Again people make some great point here about junkyard motors and old motors and things. But please don't let my experience steer you away from any decision you make. Hands down the ej207 is a great motor. |

Most of the issues with these later model 207's root from owners not properly staging their swap plan. They end up rushing their swap install to get their daily back on the road and drive for a few months on the stock JDM tune with US gas. Then when they have a buddy in the car they cant resist punching it to redline a few times and now there sitting with an IAM of 11 or worse. They do this repeatedly several times over the next few weeks and then they suddenly start complaining about piston slap or noisy heads.
I have to admit I think I chose a tuner that had very little experience with these 207's specifically and it may have cost me a little in the final tune overall. They did great work but there were a few phrases shouted out over email like"o yeah its got some knock, guess those JDM's like a lil more timming" that came out as a red flag, because even I already knew that and this was said after reversion 10 on the map. From all my research it seems that Clark's knowledge on importing and tuning these things in the US is second to none. Mr. Clark I believe I'll prove my theory and give you a shot. I want to swap to a kstech cold air intake instead of the fujita short one that ERZ screwed me with. But wanting to show your elite on the JDM setups would you be interested in doing a retune on my current setup to see what you can get in comparison. Ill pay for a complete tune on the cold air setup but wondered if your interested in doing a little work on my current tune from your knowledge, just to see if you can spot any obvious issues? PM if interested. |

Just finished my e-tune with phatbotti.
Cant say a bad word about em. Constant contact with me via text and email. explained everything well, helped me trouble shoot, etc. Ron was a great guy to deal with, met every expectation and then some. he really knew the 207. I'd highly recommend him. |

Anyone tuned their EJ207 @ Innovative tuning in Buffalo? Seems like the closest reputable tuner in my area. I'm in the Toronto area.

the motor was probably hurting when it was tuned. i would think the hta would make better power. i got 310whp out of my single scroll vf30 on efi's dyno. chris did an awesome job at tuning my car
should be doing better after the rebuild |

Yea I was kinda thinking the same thing. The car made 320 at 20 psi. Everything checked out with the car when I bought it but the problem must have been in the works. I can't wait to see how the car will do when it's done.

Just got my new walbro in there, back to driving the car...
My hope is that this (sti pump frame with spec C fuel box) actually fixes the scale of the USDM Sti fuel gauge, in addition to providing better fueling during hard cornering. The diagram shows the ECU in the cluster reading both the level and the sublevel (which is from the other sender) and using some formula to determine the display. The USDM Cluster turns on the low fuel light quite earlier than normal. Last edited by Vlad; 12-08-2012 at 10:01 AM. |

Standard JDM STi turns the fuel light on with approx 9 litres in the fuel tank.
You should get decent fuel pickup until about 1/4 tank with the Spec C chamber, it's not fantastic, but better than without it. The only way to fix the issue properly is use an external swirl pot system, using the intank pump to fill that. |

Thanks for the spec C info John, it's in-line with what I was expecting.
With the low-fuel light, it's been different since this is a WRX body with an Sti cluster, among other things. I'm trying to see if I can get this thing to auto-calibrate, somehow. So how much is it these days, to buy a ticket to do one lap in your car on the Nuerburgring? |

I recently bought a V8 EJ207, but it turns out that the engine wire harness is cut on the driver's side (my fault for not making sure they were there). What would be my best option? Can I, 1) use the engine wire harness off my WRX engine and move wires around for the AVCS or 2) can I splice the plugs off my current WRX harness onto the JDM harness? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A US driver's side is on the left, and there are two plugs there, one brown and one black.
Is this what you're talking about? |

It's 26 Euro for a lap now, which is $33, a lot more expensive than when i first started driving there. You can also do a 20 minute session on the modern GP track for 40 Euro, $51. It's all a bit bonkers over there these days, when i first started driving you could have lots of clean laps with relatively few on track (for a 13 mile course), there are far too many nutters who think playing a playsation makes them a ringmeister wrapping themselves round the nearest armco these days, which is why i dont bother going during the high season, the track is shut more than it's open whilst they clean up the carnage. The new building they did that has bankrupted the place is a disgrace too, it wouldnt be a bad thing if they bulldozed the lot and went back to how it used to be. |

Are the Subaru factory guys still around?
I don't suppose factory rented buildings/garages are marked in any way, so that may not be easily seen. Also, how do they do their testing? Do they buy time on the ring to where nobody else is allowed on there for an hour or two? Like say your trying to buy a ticket, but they tell you that nothing is for sale for the next couple hours, because an undisclosed factory guy bought the place shut? Also, my cluster issue goes from: WRX cluster does not think it's time to turn on low fuel, while Sti cluster does think it is.. So it's all about the Sti logic, which btw expects senders which have a different part number. There is more, but I don't want to derail this thread. The Sti cluster gives me a 5MPH optimistic reading, etc. Basically,I'm working on getting 100% out of this unit. |

The manufacturers have purpose built facilities just outside the circuit where they base the test cars. Most of the year the circuit is set asside for manufacturer testing, with public access being far less available than it used to be when i first drove there, this has increased the number of people trying to cram themsleves on track when it is open to the public.
I've met the Subaru test drivers there in the past, when they were testing the 300 limited edition MY05 Spec C Type RA. |
