Visconti Tuning Stage1 candidate - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

brichard0625 · 08-01-2012, 08:28 PM

First off i want to give a big thank you to John and Visconti Tuning for their hard work and contributions to the FRS/BRZ community.
Emailed and called john this morning to see if i can be one of the lucky members to test out the ecutek stg1 flash. I happen to be
near the route John takes home so he stopped by and we chatted for a little while. We got in my car and John asked me to drive my
car around for a little while on the stock tune. After that we parked the car and John started the flash. After the flash was done he
asked me to start the car and take her for quick run around the area. I was not really expecting anything crazy just a little more kick
in the car and holy S*** was i in for a surprise. As soon as i took her out the parking lot and tap the gas this thing kicked A$$.
The torque dip was nearly gone, and there was no hesitation this car just wanted to go and revving her to 7500+ rpms never felt so
good. If you love your car now wait until you get a tune. SIMPLY AMAZING! We floored the car for about 10-15mins
(missed a shift on one of the runs (lol), probably scared the crap out of John since i was pushing about 60-80mph each run)
and my gas barely even moved. The difference in this flash is night and day.
As a test, i will be filling up the car and running the car normally to see if this tune results in better gas mileage since
flooring the car barely even made the gas meter move. I will be updating this with thread daily with results and pictures and
once the test is done i will post videos and test runs with the tune. Stay Tuned
Richie

Sounds awesome. Are you really thinking you can drive the same as before with that extra power and throttle response? Hehehe

it would be too tempting for me.

Spaceywilly · 08-01-2012, 08:41 PM

Nice! I think I'll have to make the drive down to ct to get this.

UncleFester · 08-01-2012, 08:44 PM

Sounds good.

What other mods do you have?

Like Tainen said, your enthusiasim does not seem to translate to more miles per gallon.

Driving "normally" means like a grandma or ?

Car is completely stock! and my enthusiasm is just so high becuase i really wasnt expecting this flash to make this big of a difference, its like a whole new car for me..but unfortunately i will drive like a grandma for a whole tank to really put up some reliable data not only for us FRS/BRZ owners but for the tuners as well.

Yes i will. Looking to team up with john and see if we can take the car for some dynoing

brichard0625 · 08-02-2012, 12:43 AM

So i decided to take a quick run in my car and also let me brother take a drive to test the difference..dude didnt want to give me my car back. The car has so much more throttle response now, and the torque dip does feel better and the lag is pretty much gone. Tomorrow i will be filling up the car and starting MPG test.
