Plus if I am not buckled in I don't really feel "secure" I blame it on my old 240sx with a worn out seat and no real bolsters to hold me in place, so my seat belt was the only thing keeping me from sliding across the seat on hard corners, now it's routine. I was planning on using a jumper or something once I read that you had to pay the dealership to use the techstream to mod it, but once I unhooked it I found I didn't need to do anything else. Too bad I still have to double tap the button to unlock both doors.

You are in luck! you can change that both doors open on first click setting without techstream! I did... there is a button sequence somewhere in these forums... I'll try and find it (I did it forever ago and have not looked back!)

Try this: "For the limited: Open the driver door with the car off, hold down the lock and panic buttons on the key fob for approx 5 seconds. When you let go the car should beep. Now both doors will unlock when you touch the door handle. Not sure if that works with the premium."

that would be awesome, but I just noticed you are in a BRZ Limited and I am in a basic FRS. I know some of the electronics and wiring are slightly different, so hopefully it works the same.

just tried it, but my horn starts going off after 1 second and it's 1am, If the horn is supposed to go off, then I'll try it again tomorrow, if not, it may not be compatible with the frs, either way I appreciate the effort.

Haha bet your neighborhood loved that!

I've been driving my car with the stage 1 tune for two days now... And the power and especially the "drivability" are dramatically improved over stock... However... My exhaust is noticeably quieter. Very noticeably actually... I installed an invidia N1 less than a month after I bought the car because I wanted a louder exhaust sound... And it was nice and loud... But with the tune... It's almost like I'm driving a hybrid if you compare the two sounds... I have a Catless UEL header on order as well as an OverPipe... So hopefully it will go back to loudish... But is this common with people running stage 1?

My intake sound got louder that's about it also you'll have to run the stage two tune when you get that uel anywho

First time I've heard that the exhaust note got quieter with the tune. We do make some VVT changes that can alter the note of both induction and exhaust noise. But it isn't very obvious to my ears at least

Anyone in new Hampshire running catted or hypothetically cat less headers and using OFT to disable P0420 CEL. If so How are you getting around the requirement that New Hampshire has that "all" monitors must be in a ready state. The OFT guys said that they disable the O2 monitor in stage 2, which is a fail in NH. They suggested running a stock tune for the state emissions test. How if you are popping the P0420 code with the factory stock tune will reverting to the "stock" tune help. Am I back to taking of the Injen intake and putting the stock intake back on? Or worse yet swapping out the headers? What a PITA


Starting to question my sanity as to why I bothered to mess with the car in the first place! $250 intake, $960 FT86 catted headers and now a $500 OFT tune that I have to revert back to stock and then will still not pass emissions.

Does it disable the monitor, or change the threshold so it never fails? The difference would be that the monitor would still be in a ready state because it's within the threshold.

This is the answer I got from the OFT guys.


"The P0420 is turned off when you run our stage2 map and no CEL will be present.

We are disabling the O2 monitor.

If you "catted" header is emissions friendly then you can simply run a stock tune when you need to pass your state emissions test. "


If I read that correctly, it certainly sounds as though the O2 monitor is disabled and I would assume from this that the ODB readout would indicate that the O2 monitor is "not ready". This will fail our emissions in NH. I'm going to try tomorrow to get it inspected as the P0420 code has been cleared and the 8 monitors are in the "ready state. This haphazard appearance of the CEL indicates to my limited knowledge of the test and methodology that I am running at a borderline condition of the sensors.
I will recheck the odb in the AM and if it's good I'll shoot down to the local auto parts store where they do inspections. If I'm back to a pending error code I am going to replace the Injen intake with the stock one and see if that helps. I guess the intake and the header mess with the sensors just enough to cause all this grief. Live and learn! The benefits from these minor mods is appearing to not be worth the hassle.

On a side note, the last statement from the OFT guys makes no sense what so ever as it is the stock tune with my mods that causes the P0420 code. $500, I don't think so!


Cheers

There is definitely an increase in loudness from the intake... And my exhaust on cold start is still pretty loud... But driving under 3000k is now like stealth mode... And before whenever I let off the gas my exhaust would howl, that has gotten much less noticeable... Would the new mapping reduce air flow when the throttle is backed off somehow?

How's the basic stage 1 tune for a completely stock car?

Worked fine for me, noticeable power gain, especially in the dip. Plus you can reuse the OFT when you decide you want a header too

You need to load up the matching definition (xml) file into romraider before you can open a tune file ROM (hex/bin file)
