I've been told that it is possible to reflash the computer to the Subaru WRX engine.
Anyone know the protocol in doing something like that? |

I've never done this before. Is this something that is self explanatory?
I'm just looking to bump it up about another 40-50 horsepower to about 300. Is this something that would enable me to do that? Once I get it set, do I just leave it permanently plugged in? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5Lb6tHvZ4U...D359A9B597AB396 |

QUOTE(partwerks @ Nov 30 2011, 08:20 PM)  I've never done this before. Is this something that is self explanatory? I'm just looking to bump it up about another 40-50 horsepower to about 300.

To get a 50HP bump, you will need to at least add an aftermarket downpipe exhaust. ($175-$500) Once you have re-flashed your ECU, you can remove the device completely. (although the programmer is tied to your ECU at that point, meaning no one else can use the programmer until you return to factory settings) The best bang for your buck is to buy a used one off the nasioc classifieds, along with a downpipe. You can run a used OEM VF39 or VF43 turbo from an STI, and really get big power gains (100HP, but then you have to start thinking about bigger injectors is you have the 2.0 motor, and a higher flow fuel pump) |
