2022 Subaru BRZ hpde build

[Code Monkey]

I am in all-off mode, guess did not figure out how to switch to displaying degrees.

Edit: looks like degree display is available only on the 86.

By flipping back and forth I've found the scale on the standard gauge cluster to be way off - like barely touching the 1 above 190 some days is 175 and some days is 192...

Only the GR86 does this. Missing feature on the BRZ.

Have you seen this thread?

rouuuuuugh... the horizontal bar graphic is terrible, way too wide a range, and really unclear what the temps actually are.


the android auto solution looks like a good workaround though! You could get a cheap burner phone just for track days if you're an apple guy

That seems so incredibly dumb.

More post hpde findings: The front driver tire rubbed on the wheel liner. I had a passenger for 3 sessions but there is no rubbing on the passenger side. Raised the car all around, driver side: 3 turns front, 4 turns rear, passenger side: 2 turns front, 3 turns rear. Fixed the wheel liner with Gorilla tape and we will see next time if the rubbing is still there.

I swear the engine took more than 5.3. After driving another 20 miles, the dipstick is at 3/4 mark.

Nice! I have like four Gen1 OE 130 filters from my MY17. I can use those without worry now.

Could not resist and added the AP Racing CP9451 Radi-CAL rear BBK....

Also, installed the Karcepts FSB, just need to adjust the endlinks and should be ready to go.

After raising the car a bit, figured it would be good to have another alignment. Used this opportunity to move over the REAL leather steering wheel as well.

In the filter testing we've done, size rarely adds up to anything (assuming all else equal). Subaru has gone to smaller filters over the years, but that's OK, because the smaller ones have more filter surface area, which in theory does reduce the pressure drop. In practice, it's not going to mean anything to most of us, because it's only going to be beneficial if you fill the filter with debris. On these engines, it means grossly exceeding the OCI... which I doubt anyone reading this thread would ever do.

Love the updates, keep up the good work!

Bit off topic but I saw you had the KDT924 installed on the previous build. How did you like it? I had the diff inserts but had to take them off unfortunately as they were making my 1 piece driveshaft vibrate. Apart from the bushing failing (on track I presume) how was the NVH? Livable? Thanks!

[Code Monkey]

NVH was livable, but obviously I would not recommend these bushings...

I'll reach out to them, show them the pic and see what they say.
