Anyone here has a dyno chart of a stock car? I'm curious to see what the spike is at 4,000rpm that you mentioned

I was getting ping around 4000 rpm, and during various loads.
Will report on how the car feels when I get it back. But I can tell you this! I used to think my old 02 WRX was fast. But now, I keep having to check if the parking brake is on! And that is why I did not need a loaner - am driving the old car for a bit yet. UGH! |

I'm getting pinging as low as 2300 rpm up to 4000rpm. Anyone else experiencing pinging this low?

None of the folks who have had the reflash here have reported a reoccurrence of ping. I'm not sure what to tell you.
Have you dyno'd the car? A tuner should be able to tell you exactly what's going on. [edit] And yes, you ARE supposed to be using 93 or better octane even after the reflash. Last edited by Porter; 08-21-2003 at 05:28 PM. |

Holy toilets batman, your ecu has been reflushed
I just got mine back from the dealer and so far so good (fingers crossed). I drove it today in 90+ heat with the ac on and no pinging. It would always ping around 4000 in that situation. I dropped it off on monday and got it back today. Pretty speedy. I cannot notice any power loss if there is any. The real test will be a nice cool humid evening to see how it feels in optiamal conditions. My car feels super strong when it is cool out. If yours pings get it reflashed.

not particularly happy to be the first to have to report it, and may not have to - i've been running 91 octane. really appreciate your input as the local service rep did not know if 93 was still required or not. back to roll my own gas. planning on dynoing the vehicle on the 30th (curious about the reflash) - there is a thread in the southwest forum area. hope they have gas up there by then. soooo, i reckon the ecu has till then to relearn on the 93/94 homegrown. it took about 2 weeks before it started detonating on the 93/94 stuff last time. again, thank you for the timely information. |

I just got my car back tonight from Irvine Subaru. They were AWESOME in getting the car back to me with minimal downtime.
Not having a dyno in my backyard, I can only say that it does not feel any different in power, yet NO PINGING! Of course, though, I had been driving my old WRX while waiting, and anything about the STi feels better. NO WONDER WHY most dealers won't give test drives in them! Cause a regular WRX pales in comparison. |

I'm thinking about trading my 03 WRX on an 04 STi that just arrived at the dealer yesterday. Left a deposit and have until Monday to decide for sure. Are the most recently manufactured STi's pinging?
VIN is JF1GD70624L513809. Anybody recently buy an STi that didn't need the reflash? Does anyone know if the newer ones got the reflash in Japan? Thanks! |

Chard, trust me - just gt the STi!!!!!!! My WRX was not stock (though never touched the engine or boost due to SCCA rules) and many who drove or rode in it thought it was fast. Well, after having the STi only for a FEW DAYS, then having to drive my old one while it got the reflash . . . . . . I kept looking at the parking brake thinking I had left it on! So if a reflash is all that is holding you back, DUH! Just get it done and don't worry. You will enjoy the STi the rest of the time. Huge grins while driving included.

You will not have any issues with Irvine Subaru. They are very kewl about mods. My 02 had intake, exhaust, IC hoses when it got repaired for the clutch shudder prob. Just talk to Albert, he'll take care of ya. Bimmerod |
