List looks good, the Vortech kits are pretty much bolt on and go. Oil cooler is good for your environment (hotter TX summers), PCV catch can by itself is probably just fine, my CCV shows no signs of anything in the can or through the tube. The Vortech kit should come with a check valve for the PCV side as well - don't want manifold pressure blowing back through the stock PCV, but my catch can tubing wasn't the right diameter for the check valve, so I installed an STI PCV (will not allow pressure back into the crank case) instead. Not sure if you have the Vortech wiring harness, but it helps keep things tidy instead of splicing the stock harness. Installation quality and tune quality are obviously very important - see if you can have the installers clamp/tie the vacuum hoses under the manifold - they can sometimes pop off under boost - it's usually fine for the stock kit at 8-9psi, but above that can cause the issue. |

Finally got a decent tune and on a dyno.....
Okay - I finally got a tune and on a dyno, with some nice results. I bought this 2013 BRZ Limited AT in early 2016, and it already had the Perrin Vortech V3 kit and Perrin oil cooler professionally installed. It came with a mild tune (212 hp at peak) and was throwing benign codes pretty often. Added a header, overpipe, and front pipe to the cat-back exhaust system, and tried a custom e-tune.....and that didn't work out. Found a local guy who tunes and specialized in Subaru's and gave that a try - that ended up to be a good tune with the dyno sheet below. So the daily driver drivetrain build ended up:
- Perrin Vortech Supercharger kit (includes intercooler) - 3.48” SC drive pulley (9 psi at 7500 rpm) - 2.5 bar Omni MAP sensor - K&N intake filter - Perrin Oil cooler - JDL uncatted UEL header 4 into 1 with 1.75” primaries - 2.5 “ Perrin resonator exhaust system from header back - Single high flow cat in front pipe Tuned by Ed at Fast Performance Tuning using OFT/Rom Raider. His only comments were that it pulled more HP than he expected, and the AT had a good lock-up with low losses. Also, it was pretty hot in the test bay (99F), so the 275 hp corrects to 279 hp at SAE standard conditions. Next step may be flex fuel..... https://www.facebook.com/FastPerformanceTuning |
