I would be curious to see two of these with a small intercooler setup. One in its regular spot and one on the charge side of the cooler. Could be fun to play with.

If you were going to run an intercooler with this system, it would pretty much have to be a water/air type to keep the pressure drop to an absolute minimum.

@Robftss You might want to change the recommended octane on your site. The manual calls for 93 for normally aspirated. It doesn't seem realistic to recommend 91 for even mild boost unless the system has a tune with it.
This makes me feel really bad for guys who only have access to crap gas that own these cars. Power is not impressive to begin with: I can't imagine choking it off by having to use lower octane than what it is designed for.

Butangs base map was tuned on 91 octane. People running the base map will be fine on 91 or 93 octane, it is completely safe on both. In the end it should say just as the manual "91 minimum, 93 recommended for optimal performance" Hth Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 |

We have different manuals. Mine doesn't mention anything other than 93.

I get no crickets on 91 shell, has no ethanol mixed in. But I run 94 now when I can but it has the so called "upto 10% ethanol"

The ecu is incredibly smart though.... Running 91 will never hurt you car it will just limit the HP a decent amount. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 |

Other than the crickets mine runs great on 10% eth. Getting about 26 to 28 mpg in the city with ESC on and boosting all the time. |

I think I'm sold on this as soon as it's a package-in-a-box that runs on shell 91 that I can install in my garage. No way to use stock battery with 2 add-on packs stored somewhere else?
Glad to see local Calgary guys kicking ass and taking names though. |

I don't want to boast, but guess who just joined the beta test group
My batteries are on order and hopefully I'll receive the kit early next week. I need to give some thought to the method I'm going to use for ECU tuning. I'd like to start with Toma's BRZEdit tune and maybe go ECUTEK from there.
