Easiest/Cheapest way to get more power? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Oft with E85 tune if you have access to that. Should give a good amount of top end power without getting headers.

I think I saw somewhere that the 2017+ year headers are great too

So, you're used to slow cars?

General consensus says to stay away from pulley kits, intakes and aftermarket throttlebodies. Tune and header are proven mods.

Yes this is also a good choice, but much more on the expensive side. I remember installing stage 1.0 kit as a 3rd or 4th engine modification after comparing value for money options.

A few other options that I tried and then throw them on the dustbin was the sprint booster and the OFT. Not totally useless products, but somehow not on par with the level of this car. Too much wheel spin with sprint booster and too low top end power with OFT stage 1.0 tune.

What’s OFT?

There isn't too much to elaborate. This mod has been mentioned in Nasioc for years to be one of the best value for money choices. The car has a Subaru boxer engine and these guys know better. You either believe this and try it or you don't believe it and try something else.

If you want more details you can read below, but don't ask me to backup his arguments:

OFT = Open Flash Tablet

It is an ECU logging device which contains some (free) engine tunes. Since the tunes are unlocked, a few hobbyists will start from these and do additional changes. The rest will just use the provided tunes.

As mentioned above I tried it in the past and it left me a feeling of an incomplete product. The device could not log all parameters and some basic ones (e.g. IAM) was always zero and the provided tune wasn't optimal on the high end rpm's.
