Today I fitted up the GD Sti topmount I aquired from Brent.

All went swimmingly as I had modded my mounts to fit a GD Wrx cooler (my v6 sti one was covered with bent fins).

One small drama ....The Sti's factory strut brace no longer fits... Bugger!

Time to buy a whiteline one........

Thought I'd better bring my blog up to date in regard to the bits & pieces I've added more recently:

Process West Cold Air Intake
Prospeed Silicone induction tube
GD top mount cooler
05 Sti front seats ('cause I'm fat!):happy2:

Now running 1.5 -1.6 bar with AFR's of 11.4 @ 1.6 bar.

I stumbled across an excellent tool to aid in the adjustment of fuel mapping on the power Fc.

It's an Excel spread sheet that allows you to drop your current fuel map, target AFR map and logged AFR's into their respective cells where by it spits out a corrected fuel map to correspond to the target afr map you have specified....

Here are some screen shots of the Datalogit data, wide band logs & Fc edit maps.

After enjoying the cars new found power & responsiveness for a couple of months........I wanted more!

Having previously tuned my own cars (predominantly Mazda rotories, both N/a & turbos) using either Microtech or Wolf ecu's, I began to look into a PC based interface to allow me to see all of the hidden settings in the Power Fc and to log things like lambda, boost, injector duty & temps for track days....and tweak my tune as I add more to the car.

Enter...
