Has this been tested on an auto? I'm assuming the transmission should be able to handle the extra power fine, but would the stock tune work?

The relay is in a project box in the glovebox and is enabled 10 seconds after the accessory power comes on. It's been perfect for the last 5 weeks. |

Small update:
Took my car by Rob's shop yesterday to try a blow through maf design. Rob sourced a factory sized pipe for which we could mount the MAF. Unfortunately this aftermarket pipe caused our MAF sensor to be raised up about a quarter of a inch. While installing it we didn't think anything of it.... On first start the engine sputter to life and then promptly died.... This slight raising of the maf caused the car to not even run... We were not expecting such a small change to have such a large impact..... Back to the drawing board . All in all it was a learning experience and Rob is now looking to make a housing that will be a factory replica as far as dimensions go. Once we get a blow through maf working with a MAP boost stop it should help any of those people wanting to run the ESC on stock tune. It will also help to really fine tune with ecutek and brz edit with IAT being post compression. The blow threw maf will also get rid of some of the false maf reading we are getting very low in the rpm range. So for anyone thinking I only post the good... This is a little road block we ran into As always... Stay tuned for further updates and developments. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk |

After driving with the ESC and tune for 10 days it's my opinion that this model is just about ready for production. The one little problem I had was the arming switch not turning off with the ignition (and the possibility that you could drain the starting battery) but that problem was solved. Other than that the BRZ drives normally until you hit wot and the car takes off. A much greater boost than you get with vtec on a Honda. It does move you back in the seat and tells you immediately that there is something different about this car. My gas mileage seems to be identical to what I was getting before the installation. The drag reduction works seamlessly and never even notice that it is operating. Absolutely no complaints.

Have spent hours late at night reading through this thread, has been really interesting to see what can be achieved with this "Electro" Charger.
Keep up the good work guys. -PB |
