Free dyno for a BRZ and a couple more for a BRZ or FRS near Houston (Sealy TX.)
 

I would like to offer 3 free power pulls to a Subaru BRZ in the Houston area (Sealy to be exact).

Basically we have observed behaviors on the stock timing maps for our FRS that does not match the Ignition Advance Multiplier strategy in the ECU TEK reflash. I want to get a BRZ on our dyno, make a few pulls and then reset the ECU and see if the Subaru ones behave the same as the Toyota ones.

Since this is to satisfy my curiosity we will do this dyno testing at no charge.

Additionally, if anyone that is about to take delivery of a new FRS or BRZ in the Houston area is interested in seeing if they can duplicate our results in terms of horsepower gains from break in, we would also offer that individual a few free dynos as well. We would like to test your car at under 350 miles, at 2500 miles, 5000 miles, at 7500 miles after the first oil change and at 10,000 miles. Vehicle will need to remain stock for this time period for the test to be valid.

We will do all this at no charge to satisfy our own curiosity and as a service to the community to document how much power you can expect to see from the break in process and from ECU resets.

If anyone is interested in helping out with these tests please feel free to PM me or e-mail or call. This is not first come first serve - I reserve the right to pick whatever individual I feel is the most reliable and likely to comply with the terms of the testing.

Thanks!

If you are curious why we are doing this, please feel free to refer to our dyno thread, but basically we went from 165 on our first dyno to 172/173 at 10K and 177 at 10K after ECU reset, all just from break in.

Too damn cold out right now :(

I read the post - interesting indeed if there is any true difference between the FRS and BRZ ecu resets.

IF no one jumps on this - they gotta be a little short of a 6 pack. I would but it's my daily driver so not sure if you guys would want a late night after work dyno run test or weekend?

Edit: Just looked at your website and map location - I am not very far from your place being off Mason and Clay.

How late? We are open till 10PM... We are also open Sat. and Sun....

Today I get off work at 3:00 - 3:30PM. I could swing by then if you want to try some tests. I am over 4400 miles already though. I had an ECU replaced due to the CEL idle problem before Christmas.

Not sure if this would be ideal for your tests.

IF you think this is ok then I can swing by right after work.

I've got a stock FRS out in Katy you could use. It has 10k miles on it. Let me know and I'll give you a call when I have some time to run out there. I'd like to get a baseline reading as well.

Sounds fine to me - this is a BRZ correct? - we don't have anything scheduled for the dyno till after 6 - we will see you then.


The address is 4073 FM 3538 Sealy, TX. 77474
go west on 10 exit 718. Turn left at the end of the off ramp, straight through the stop sigh, and the shop is about a mile and a half down on the right.

Will see you soon then and yes I have a BRZ.

Thanks for coming!

We observed the same behavior on your car and then on Jay's car as well. The stock ECU definitely adds on 5-6 HP after an ECU reset.

Thanks, it was good to meet everyone. Nice to know a place is reasonably close to me that has lots of interest in the community.

I know where I need to lay some rubber down when I get my suspension parts in.
:burnrubber:

Don't make me wait to long for that unmentionable ;)

I'd like to stop by after work just to take a peak, I work in brookshire. So I'm only about 5 minutes away. Have a stock FRS as well

Please feel free to do so. We are open 7 days a week and you can call myself or Illusive before coming over to confirm that we are on site and accepting customers.

I'll hit you guys up next time I'm in the area. I end up in that area once a month or so.
