Project Subaru

It Lives…

After 3 trips to the tuner, I finally have a stable car again. I still have lots of work to do, but I can drive the beast again without much worry. I still need to purchase a new fuel pump, so my numbers were a bit low still, but thats an easy fix. So next on the list of things to do.

  • Fuel Pump
  • Uppipe
  • Cams

The other change I would like to make is moving my MAF sensor from pull to push, essentially removing it from the intake line. Right now I’m pushing 340 whp, which is very conservative as I ran out of fuel.. (stock pump) and 15 psi on the turbo. With the above mentioned upgrades I should be back into the 410-420 whp range. We’ll see.

Project Subaru Underway

Went to the tuner today… after the car being out of commission so long, I really had to deal with more than expected.

After a bit of a struggle, we were finally able to get the Cobb maps onto the ECU, they fought with the ECUTEK encryption, but all turned out good there.

Moved the car to the dyno… complete tune failure. Walbro 255 fuel pump was shot… just terrible, we popped a stock one back in as they were out of the Walbro’s. FYI, STI stock fuel pump will hold up to 350 whp. Started to tune again,… failure… Knock sensor was bad, spent many hours trying to tune around it, but the advance timing mechanism kept kicking in and just killing us.

Ended up tuning the car to the point it would run at stock power and low low boost. Need to order a new fuel pump, new knock sensor install and return to them for another tune at which point we can turn the boost up and gets some real numbers back out of the car.

MVC + Ajax Continued

Well I have been successful at implementing my ajax model into my MVC framework. I think over time it will change drastically, I ran into issues actually getting the asynchronous calls to pass through my front controller without throwing errors. The reason being, that ajax was not on my mind when I built the framework, so my MVC code is looking for a specific call structure that of course the ajax post packets do not follow.

My fix / workaround for this was to build a bypass layer that the MVC framework ignores allowing my ajax calls to pass through. I think future implementations of this will have a more seamless approach allowing my ajax calls to utilize the efficiency of the framework.
