I did a build on my bugeye where only the compression was changed, and it made a decent difference below the power curve but not much above it. It did make more power, but not much. Below peak torque though, it made a pretty good amount more power a pretty good amount sooner.
This was running 9.77:1CR, FP Red 8cm, a 2.5L ej255, stock sti exhaust manifolds and uppipe, and stock ej255 heads with avcs inactive. |

install a new donk and change NOTHING other than convert to parallel setup... still even on the same tune and zero problems. with everyone banging on about cyl#3 being the one to die first for aforementioned reasons, and my tune being too lean, i didn't consider this coincidence. so in light of all that, can you elaborate on what you said for me? |

DW 850cc should be in the mail today to run e85 on the stock vf39. have people had good luck with romraider for tuning their own cars? my tuner lives 45 minutes away. or would it be better to buy a cobb ap and have him send me a tune to get the car down to him.

We have absolutely no way of knowing if you are capable of tuning your own car. Romraider and ecuflash are great tools that many upon many of us have had success using, but if you aren't knowledgeable about what you are doing, you will blow something up. Tuning isn't the most complicated thing in the world to do, but it definitely isn't a cakewalk or something you just pick up in a weekend by reading a DIY and watching a YouTube video.
I am all for people learning to do it on their own, but definitely do your homework, and be smart enough to realize if you are going to be in over your head or not. If you are, turn it over to a professional. |

thanks. i have a little experience with HP tuner i watched/helped a good friend run data logs and was apart of the road tune for a couple mods and pump gas on his 2011 cobra. i am not comfortable making an aggressive tune for my self. i guess the question just should have been whats the best way to get my car 45 miles down the road with the DWs installed. i dont own a cobb ap or wideband or tuner software currently.
also its about 35 minutes of highway and then the rest is residential |

If you tuner only tunes with Cobb, then you'll need to buy an Access Port anyway and then they can send you a base tune for that. |

Its a really good tool to have in my opinion, even you don't actually tune your own car. You can still check things and run logs for your tuner in the event something seem off. You can also flash base maps or updates to your tune as needed. If you don't have the budget for one then ask around and see if someone local to you has one and I'm sure they can help you flash a base map. |

Why wouldn't it? Granted I use the turboxs tuner pro, which is a tiny bit different than their basic knocklite, but it has always worked just fine and actually been more accurate than the stock system for me.

I ran one tank of E-85 before I had to switch over to the 91 Octane map for the duration of the winter .
1) Your injectors size = ID 1000CC 2) Injector duty cycle (if you have it) = not sure but probably not much more than 80-85% 3) Elevation = 6200 4) Turbo = Stock VF-52('13 STI) 5) Dyno(figured I would add this since this makes a big difference in numbers) = DynoDynamics (load bearing, aka lower numbers) Tuned by Servion/Revolutions Performance. Temperature outside was about 20 degrees so I got slightly higher numbers than most Stage 2 STIs. 91 Ocatane: 255 whp / 295 ftlb E-85: 275 whp / 343 ftlb Mods: AEM CAI ID 1000s COBB DP SPT exhaust Walbro 255 |

Just switched to ID1300's. Doing E85 flex fuel. Right now I have a single bosch 044. Will that be enough to max a 68lb/min turbo or do I need another one. Thinking 50-60psi base. 80-90 w/boost. 2.5L, 8.5k limit

Are you guys on winter E85 in British Columbia right now? Just curious if Canada does that.

Closest station is about 2 hours away from me in Washington. I'll store a drum or 2 at my house but I pass by on the way to the race track so that's the only time I'll really need E85... unless I want to play around on the street |

Single 044 is enough pump to handle about 585whp uncorrected on our dynojet. The 1300's will likely be tapped before that.
