I just bought the HFCs because i was sick of the smell lol. i'll eventually go full Motordyne Headers but I'll wait until an engine rebuild is necessary to do that!

abm89 · 03-08-2020, 10:43 AM

I did some testing this morning and the AFRs look much better and stable under acceleration. I'm clearing the codes and i'll head out to COTA for a longer drive cycle test.

Side note for the nerds, I've setup my rpi computer to allow my ssh keys so i can bring my laptop with me and download the logs directly to my computer to review while im in the stands watching faster cars go by.

If you're N/A. That might be never, unless your galley gaskets lets go and you don't catch it in time.

Very true. I have 124k on the clock now and it seems to still run alright.

abm89 · 03-09-2020, 03:39 PM

Car is running fine. Drove it to work today even though it's raining (also because the WRX doesn't have any gas in it #lazy)

I also ordered an EcuTek Bluetooth adapter so i can actually mess with my tune settings. I have no steering controls lol.

geeteezee · 03-10-2020, 12:31 AM

Installed front and rear turn signal LEDs.
Now I'm blind.

You should be good to go with the BT module, but I've got an Ecutek cable if you ever need to borrow it to grab some data logs

Some people find the BT module interferes with the key fob signal and reduces the working distance significantly

JARblue · 03-10-2020, 08:06 AM

ATI Super Damper, PS cooler, and a bunch of misc gaskets for the front timing cover should arrive today

yeah i saw that thread about the interference. I have an extension cable should i need it, but it wont be plugged in permanently as my USB OBD2 that goes to the rpi is always connected while driving.

I defeated the demon bolts. The crack of them breaking loose was one of the sweetest sounds I will ever hear in my life.

Tried my first attempt at wrapping some interior pieces in some 3M carbon fiber vinyl that I had laying around... not a terrible first go at it, IMHO. Made a few small mistakes, mostly on the large inner ring section of the shifter surround, but they're mostly invisible once installed.
