**FT-86 SpeedFactory Ecutek Stg.1 and Stg. 2 Tuning**

Guess who is Ecutek's newest Master Tuner???? That's right, FT-86 SpeedFactory now has an in-house tuner capable of using and distributing Ecutek products and tunes to the public

We enlisted the help of our local Subaru tuner that has been tuning EJ engines for quite some time to jump on board with us on the FA series motor. Once on board, he has been learning the platform and spent a lot of time with these cars on the dyno.






Here is what we have come up with!

We started with a Stg. 1 tune on a completely stock vehicle. Taking baselines on the same dynojet, the same day, and running 91 octane fuel.



After letting the car cool down, we pulled some parts off and installed some bolt-ons to start our Stg. 2 package.

Mods for the Stg. 2 dyno are as follows:
AEM Intake
HKS EL Header
Motiv Concepts OP
Motiv Concepts HFC FP
Tomei 60S cat-back

Again, with 91 octane, here are our results.



So, tell us what you guys think? We want to be able to give you guys a complete experience when dealing with us at FT-86 SpeedFactory. With this new offering, you can expect results and the same customer service you have come to know when working with us

Any chance for a recording of the Stage 2 with bolt ons? I've been wanting to hear what the 60S sounds like with a Motiv OP & FP and a header.

We can tune for any header, EL or UEL. We have each option fitted on our cars here and have tuned for them.

Custom tunes are available locally. We have a dedicated in house tuner and can do a wide range of tunes remotely or locally.

A long time ago I bought the Stage 1 tune from FA20Club.com, quite a bit before all the dramas emerged. I also got the first FA20Club Catted UEL header made, it only took 9 months from ordering, to actually receiving. :P

I've been driving on the Stage 1 tune for a few months now, and it was TERRIBLE. I constantly bugged Toni to give me a stock map, but there was always an excuse. Fuel economy was bad, throttle response was rubbish, dip felt even worse than stock.

Fast forward to last week, I contact the guys at FT-86 SpeedFactory and bought a Stage 2 tune from them. They walked me through getting ECUTEK to switch my license from FA20Club to them, and I start chatting with their tuner.

After just 3 logs, my car feels like a completely different animal. Throttle response is so smooth and amazing, fuel economy is BETTER than stock, and the torque dip is completely gone! This is definitely the way the car should have been from the factory, just surges all the way to redline.

Mods:
TRD USA full intake
FA20Club UEL Catted headers
FT-86 SpeedFactory Stage 2 tune

Big ups guys! I don't have any dynos to show, but I seriously couldn't be happier with the tune!

How much would it cost for me to get custom dyno tune with you? Im gonna need tune+license together. I would rather visit you and do dyno tune than remote tune. Also, do you guys operate dyno tune on Saturdays too?

Thank you very much. Graham has put a lot of time in on these tunes and is great at getting them perfected to your car. Appreciate the feedback.

Yes, we will be working with our tuner this spring.

We are off to Road Atlanta this weekend and as soon as we get back we will be getting our tuner some time with the silver car to mess with FI
