First ECUTEK GR86 TUNED on E85!!!

Our wait is over! ECUTEK has released their beta tuning software to their authorized tuners and you know we are right on it! We've got the GR86 strapped to the dyno and we're going to see how much more power we can squeeze out of this FA24 with E85!

[@patthonsirilim5739]

its already throwing down 225-230 e85 with only catback a full fbo going by last gen standard you can look foward to extra 15-20hp so 240-50 whp is in reach it make sense really last gen fbo on e85 will max out at 200-10whp this should max out at 240-50.

[@dvybby]

@@patthonsirilim5739 Original commentator stated that 1st gens weren’t as optimized as current gen. Also, toybaru seem to have focused a lot on the current gen’s header design. Larger diameter and lighter. 235 sounds about right.

Reasonable to expect 240+ is possible My 2012 made 205whp with HKS EL header and E85 tune 2.0 FBO/E85 = ~205whp 2.4 FBO /E85 = ~ 245whp Loved my car at that stage and 2600 pounds but high g turns blew 2 motors

Header was making most horse power difference on gt86 bolton mods wise I believe

[@wayward03]

Did you pull the charcoal filter out of the intake? Also who says "ekutek" instead of e c u tek. ? Maybe i'm the odd one out. Makes sense that not a ton of power could be made if they tuned it to the max and let knock sensors dial it back.

[@xxtrengt8871]

Here in France we have easy access to 98, makes me happy to know that i might just get more free power.

[@Device442]

What are your thoughts that the aftermarket support will continue for 2nd Gen, with the rumors of the 3rd Gen 86 being talked about?

[@FC-oh3ho]

221 is good for 91. The base tune that some boost kits came out for the 1st gen were limited to that and felt really quick! I wonder what headers will do with this on high octane gas

[@styvj3466]

Do a complete fuel system from back to front.

[@ii_rappidds6737]

Headers maybe a bigger throlle body and a cold air intake ?

[@KingOfEden12]

I’m willing to bet with headers & an intake you could crack the 230 mark ! Possibly on 91 also. Just the thought of having an 86 with just fbo and a custom tune pushing nearly 230whp /!: almost 200 wtq. Wow oh wow what a fun car that will be on the street.

[@darksunrise8777]

Damn that exhaust sounds surprisingly good! Seems likely to crack 230 whp with a charcoal filter delete and a K&N.

[@solly1g]

K&N drop in doesn’t affect anything from my experience. The charcoal removal however does.

[@MR3DDev]

Holy crap that sound, how you got your GR86 to have the gurgl sounds? Also I always thought E85 was bad for a regular engine, I am very confused.

[@ryanbrown918]

If its not tuned for it, of course it is. Stock ECM Parameters aren't capable of delivering the volume of fuel necessary to run E85 at Stochio.

[@MR3DDev]

[@emissarygw2264]

Oh shiiiiiiiiiiit ecu time!

[@lw1878]

I'm surprised that E85 initially doesn't add as much power as it did on the FA20. Hopefully, an FA24 spec header will solve that. Great result regardless. FBO K24A2s swaps are making right around the same power with a lot more effort from the owner.

[@TheFK8Life]

They are also port injection engines vs direct injection - apples and oranges really

[@MachiavelliPWNS]

I am thinking the tuners probably need more time to optimize it for E85. No way is an optimized tune only adding like 8 hp. Chemically speaking, you can get about 8% more energy from a given amount of oxygen with E85. That would have put the car at nearly 240 whp if applied to the 221 whp 91 tune.

[@lw1878]

@@TheFK8Life Not hardly. Both are 2.4L 4 Cylinders. Both have port injection. The FA24 just has direct injection as well.

[@404nobrakes]

@@MachiavelliPWNS could be that it needs upgraded fuel pump + injectors to take full advantage of E85.

[@roblyss]

$64 million question, and maybe addressed in comments below. Was Graham able to eliminate the rev hang in the stock map? God as my witness I'd pay $500 for a tune just if it did that. Any info?

[@ravenstylea2]

Is there no way to add a more aggressive camshaft setup?

[@KevinVo]

You can, but still not going to see a massive improvement.

[@MrGsxrme]

Did the na fa24 cheapen out on the rods? I know the boosted fa24s can handle a mighty amount of power with boost and the DI only is the limit for those guys. The BRZ/Toyota guys have port and DI but the toilet paper transmission is probably going to be your limiting factor.

[@KevinVo]

The FA24 doesn't have the offset rod design like the previous gen so I'm hoping it is able to hold more power as well.

[@julecasey2376]

I hear too much controversy with open flash and ecutek, my friend sent me some tuners that use ecutek and another friend says to go oft and I’m leaning towards oft because I don’t want to spend close to $800 on a tune and a license through ecutek

[@johnmann7o2]

Better if you use e30 blend, actually better performance than just 91, but better fuel economy than full e85.

[@Marc-ty5sz]

if you can get 230 with a header, that is just perfect for canyon and street power, fast enough on the most track to be super fun too.

[@TheBeebop420]

Yep that’s roughly what I’m sitting at in my 2019 Civic Si with exhaust and stage 1 tsp tune. It really is perfect for a daily driver with occasional spirited driving. Also can still hurt some feelings in the straights. 230 whp in a 2800 pound car is a lot quicker than most people think

[@emissarygw2264]

@@TheBeebop420 yeah! power/weight is what matters. On paper it'll be roughly equivalent to the previous gen WRX, which is what I have. It's just enough to feel quick. Though honestly I'd love to make a bit more. I've been eyeing the Z and supra for my next upgrade, but with availability what it is I'm seriously considering getting a gr86 and adding a turbo/supercharger. Looking forward to seeing what people manage to do with these.

[@Jez4prez1]

@@emissarygw2264 Just turbo it. But make sure you use forged internals. Build it properly. Built Subaru engines are actually very good. It's when people don't have built engines, and then just strap on a turbo or up the boost that they then get blown motors etc and start blaming Subaru for being unreliable lol. Do it once and do it properly. It won't be cheap though, but honestly worth it and better than trying to chase minor gains from NA. I have gen 2 on the way, and 100% will turbo it, but it's long term goal. Won't turbo it anytime soon, prob 5 years away. If this is a car you want to keep long term, and you want it to be a unique car etc, then this is the way to go. Honestly, legit thinking of putting an EJ in eventually also, since EJ is way better than FA for mods. That is backup scenario, incase the FA is just too expensive to work with, we'll see. If you want the easy option, just go with the Z or Supra. BRZ/86 path will be lots of work.

@@milesfathi IDK what kind of sports car people you hang out with, but I have owned a pretty wide variety. Mustang, corvette, mazdaspeed 3, focus st, SRT4, GTI, cayman, Q60, M3, etc. Every online community, car meet or random guy I run into at a gas station is tuned. Even my wifes mustang and SHO taurus have a tune. The manufacturer tends to leave a lot on the table with little to no risk. The amount of power added doesnt sound like much. But you have to consider the starting point. We are looking at an almost 10% increase in power here with no physical parts. No boost or excessive stress on the internals. In all honesty the engine will be running safer against knock and cooler from the E85. This is a win.
