King Tut's FA20Club.com Dyno Tuning Experience

Thanks:

I really want to thank these guys. Without their help, who knows where I would be with my turbo charged BRZ.

LJ @FullBlown Motorsports for building such a damn good turbo kit. He has always been there to answer my questions, and still well after the sale contacts me to see how the turbo kit is running.

Toni @FA20Club.com for finding the time in his busy schedule to dyno tune my car. He already wanted datalogs from the car before it was even off the dyno, and I know his support will continue to be there in the future.

David @Sportsguy83 for setting up the dyno tuning with Toni and hosting me in his house for the weekend. I also need to thank his wife for the great food.

Octane:

All numbers are on Florida 93 octane fuel.

Ever since I bought the car,

FINALLY DYNO TUNED! part 2

DYNO Video and Final Thoughts

BRZ AVO Turbo Kit Stage 2+ Dyno run - YouTube

BRZ AVO Turbo 300 WHP 240 WTQ Dyno run #2 - YouTube

Conclusion:

It is VERY important for all forum members to understand that installing a FI kit is not lilies and roses. It can be painful, hard, nerve wrecking and requires a good amount of $$ to get it right. There is a big bunch of mods that go around a FI kit that while not all of them are absolutely necessary, all work together to REALLY finalize a proper car build.

DONT be afraid to ask questions and make sure you understand everything, because there are some mistakes that just can't be undone.

If I had to do it again and in hindsight with what is available now, it wold be a painfully HARD decision but I THINK I would have chosen AVO again. The reason is when I initially chose AVO, I had certain goals for the car, and even though they changed as I modified it, AVO is still within them. I still love my AVO. Its an awesome kit, well made, easy to install and with great power delivery characteristics. I don't regret my decision one bit as I am VERY HAPPY with how my build came out.

If you want GREAT customer service, down to earth guy, great tunes, go with @FA20Club.com, it just doesn't get any easier than that!

Happy modding FT86 club. I hope my trial and errors help some members to avoid them.

FINALLY DYNO TUNED! part1

(What else did you expect?? Florida Rainy day FTW!!!)

I started doing my research again from ZERO between all available tuners. I noticed how after the initial wave of the mythical ECUTek groupbuy, things have changed.

I kept reading and reading so much happy Tony customers. I kept looking at the Dyno charts for his kit, N/A tunes, E85 tunes and other kits tunes. I met him personally at a meet and came away so impressed by the type of individual he is. Humble guy. Down to earth. No BS or Unicorn seller. Just get the job done type of guy.
So I made plans

ECUTEK BRZ & FR-S Reflash Dyno Results Are In

Incredible........Thats what most are saying the improvements have been with the docile FA20 engine with a quick reflash. We had the opportunity to start a R&D program for this platform and have yet to be disappointed as far as gains and progression are concerned. We started with our own AT FR-S and have since then moved into the Manual version. the gains are still on par with our experience on the AT.

The FR-S, BRZ twins with simple bolt ons we were able to see an immense gain throughout the entire powerband. I can only say so much but the numbers don't lie...check out the chart. If you have any question give us a call or shoot us an email.

ECUTEK Software on board....

After making the final decision to join the ECUTEK team were were extremely excited to get down and dirty tuning the FA20. From common results we had seen up to this point we say some easy improvements After making a few baseline runs it was obvious where these gains were to be had. What were observed was an engine that runs extremely rich @WOT. At redline the AFR was actually 11.2:1 on our baseline runsl never exceeding 12.3:1. So first thing to be done was to remove some of the excess fuel under heavy load.



The powerband easily jumped up after tweaking the fuel table a bit. That was the easy part though. Now it was time to get down to the finer aspects of refining our tune. The major issue with this car is that nasty dip heading into 4k rpm and exiting. After looking intot he cam angle tables there were some variances that made this more dramatic than it had to be not to mention the injector phasing between the direct and the port around the same rpm range.

We look forward to working on the Scion FRS, Subaru BRZ, and Toyota GT86. After about 6 hours testing and teaking we had come up with a satisfactory tune for the A/T transmission FA20, Onto the manual......
