Love your videos. I cant wait to start working on my BRZ, hope your channel keeps growing.

[@phelpsgarage4202]

Thank you for watching! I’m hoping it grows too!

I made 6 whp and 13lb-tq adding a drive shaft shop carbon fiber driveshaft (1 piece) and putting a 1.4lbs lightweight pulley on a 2015 STI. Total weight saving was 19 lbs(rotational drivetrain weight ). I posted the results on IWSTI 10 years ago. At the time drive shaft shop only sold one prior to mine and no one knew if the driveshaft would fit because it was for the previous model STI. We drilled the 4 holes and put thicker bolts to make it fit on the rear diff. Boston line, those 19 lbs weight reduction on the drivetrain on a mustang Dyno to all 4 wheels translated in a greater output of 6whp/13lb-tq with no changes on the tune, just a straight bolt on (prior to a custom tune). The engine revved faster and the drivetrain was very smooth (no vibrations).

your 86 its really beautiful !!!! i think the nicest i ever see!!!!

[@phelpsgarage4202]

You haven’t seen a lot 😂 thank you for the kind words

[@nighthawk0077]

Very good results. A VQ37VHR on ecutek only picks up 12-15hp

[@phelpsgarage4202]

Thanks!

Thank you!

Great Vid!

[@phelpsgarage4202]

Thanks!

[@guilhermeferla9179]

Great video! It would be interesting to see the tuned set up vs a completely stock car just for comparison sake.

[@phelpsgarage4202]

Yeah, it would be cool just to see how they compare in maybe a drag race or roll race

[@NicholasZak]

So basically moral of the story here is to just leave the car alone and just enjoy it. Software, tune, fuel, and above all time is money lost for not a quality end result. Just track the shit out of this car as is. Love the car and the blacked out theme👌🏻

[@phelpsgarage4202]

If you just want to have fun I would agree with you 100 percent! Good tires good brakes and done. I’m trying to race in a few different classes and need all I can get to be competitive. 😂

[@Bones12x2]

For the street, yes....but if you track the car. For such a low power car, gaining nearly 10% through the entire power band is worth while. Especially considering that you can also adjust throttle behavior etc.

[@ZN8BD]

Bummer on the small increase in power. But hey any increase is still an increase

[@phelpsgarage4202]

Going back once the software is complete and we have better E85

[@jamesinoregon1081]

Well done on the video. A little bit off topic but what Recaro seats do you have and can you do a measurement from the seat cushion vertically to the roof liner? A bunch of us taller people are looking for seating that will give us more Headroom for our helmets at the track. Thank you in advance

[@phelpsgarage4202]

Recaro pole position. I did a video of the seats a while back. It’s about 37 inches from the bottom of the seat to the headliner.

To you have the info on the place you are having it tuned?

[@phelpsgarage4202]

Location? Tampa somewhere, I’ve never been or heard of them.

[@Dr3aper]

an ITB mod would be ideal if it is available

[@phelpsgarage4202]

.. or a turbo

Who's your tuner? I'm in Florida as well.

[@phelpsgarage4202]

Try dirty racing up in north Florida. They will probably be turning my car.

[@bernnanners]

Hey man getting dyno tuned soon did you do a flex fuel kit or does the car take e85 once tuned for it?

[@phelpsgarage4202]

No, but we tuned for it. I’m gonna get a flex fuel sensor once it’s out.

[@bernnanners]

Am I missing something. Stock was 208whp pump gas. 217whp pump gas tuned. 224whp e85. +7? Biggest gang was tune on pump. +9. On good e85 maybe +9, but what’s the cost to go to e85 vs just tune?

That UEL header is costing you power and making an average sounding motor sound even worse than necessary.

[@phelpsgarage4202]

I have to somewhat disagree. UEL headers help with the torque dip and I enjoy the sound of a boxer motor

[@phelpsgarage4202]

@TheTidal yeah I’m not looking for peak power, even though it’s nice to have. I want all the mid range where I’m always using it.

[@Peter-ff1tp]

@@phelpsgarage4202 Lol. You think that UEL is what boxer engines sound like. That’s cute. I bet you think the WRC Imprezas had the “Subie rumble”. 😂 Literally nobody in the know has run UEL for twenty five years.

[@martalex1000]

Wrong, the UEL's generally perfom better than the EL headers on this platform for whatever reason, just look at some dyno charts. Plus, sound is subjective. You might think its average, I think it sounds great.
