Subaru TS 1.6 NA powers up
This time, with a larger mid-pipe...
the results, you beef up the super high end portion. Hmm... owner asks me how come like that...
So, to keep things simple, the function of the mid-pipe in an exhaust system serves as a carrier. Thats all... Car setup can be simple if you know how... but, difficult, if you have no clue what all those stuff means...

Honda Stream NA powers up
Honda Stream NA powers up
Yup, this ride made me lost a bet with Sam hahaha... I betted this setup should win... while Sam betted another which runs open pod, with a special type of extractor.
I bet the cold air intake with stock extractor. Knn, I lost.
That cost me 1 dinner for 4 at Gullimard Turtle house. The Turtle soup there has tender turtle meat and very nicely stewed turtle soup, with additional turtle skin and a small claypot of crocodile stew, it made me rethink my theories on car setup.
I must admit, Sam still has it huh? Or its just lousy me... anyway... I'm based on theories and he based mainly only his greasy brains? who knows... If you ask me, I bet its because of our bet that made him use his blains... hahaha
Anyway... after that run, he decided to put in the same extractor, a new HKS muffler and redo his air intake setup.
Here's the results :
Much Better mid range (3000rpm) and stronger high end (5000~)

Owner recently fitted his turbo kit somewhere and then had a run with a stock suzuki swift sport. After losing to the swift sport, he decided to do something about it. Its a nightmare to lose with a turbo kit, BOV blowing away, aftermart cams, racing clutch and see the swift pulling away... OMG!
Ok, we retune his ride, fix up his 2 weeks old damaged turbo and intercooler. yeah, i too wonder why people will use these parts in the first place.
Ok, now, we give him high boost! with gusto... Yah... good enough to make the owner smile from ear to ear. Now, its time to win that easy ride brudder :)
Oh, the owner is so happy with the results, he now has plans for powervalve and boost cooler this coming week. In fact, he wanted to install the kit immediately after we tuned his car... hahaha... Sam asks that he go enjoy this new setup first coz, we did spend much effort doing up his ride, so, its good to enjoy it first before moving...

Just a quick look at what this turbo can do.
Turbo spool up is very smooth. Compared to the usual turbos, the sound of the turbo spool up also different. Boost wise, after tuning, this ride starts spooling as early as 2000 rpm and pulls strong at 3500 till redline 7800 rpm.
This ride has been tune to give good low end response. The mappings inside is also made for track use, so, making this turbo work hard is not an issue at all :)
Overall, this subaru packs a good 350 bhp with excellent ride quality.
Verdict:
Its good. But, pricey turbo hahaha

Toyota Estima 2.4L Turbo charged
Toyota Estima 2.4L Turbo charged
To begin, lets take a look at the specs of this car.
Capacity: 2,362 cc
Engine: 4 cylinder In line 16 valve DOHC
Compression: 9.6
Bore x stroke: (88.5 x 96.0) mm
Power: 168 bhp
Transmission: Super CVT-i with sequential shift-matic
Kerb Weight: 2,140kg
So, we have a heavy car. If you must, if we scale down this ride in comparison to the 1.6L category, we have a car that places itself slightly faster than an Altis.
Its not surprising to see this ride pulling away while you keep your accelerator floored, even for its massive 2.14 ton, because of its capacity and cvt tranny, this ride can still do well for it size.
What we did for this ride is basically, powervalve (tm), Boost cooler, VF series turbo, controlled using emanage ultimate, cast manifold, external wastegate, big injectors and AVCR boost controller.
From the top, this ride's setup look like a charm. The welding work on the piping seams are smooth and engine bay presents itself perfectly.
When this ride is stock, at wide-open-throttle, it produces 168 horses. Now, with the VF turbo installed, this WOT 168 can still be felt for that nostalgic feeling, but at 30% trottle setting. For very original acceleration and pickup, you need to keep your feet light at 10~20%. This retain the original look and feel of the ride.
At WOT now, car produces a neat 300 bhp. With the VF turbo working at 1 bar of boost all thanks to it lower and usual compression ratio, this ride transform itself totally to a whole new category of class and performance.
With an extremely spacious and comfortable interior and 300 horses at will, CVT transmission, even with the turbo installed, this ride retains its stock look and retains it stock quiet operation.
Powervalve setting has been setup to operate like its part of the car. Its opening time is natural and making this ride sound like a lambo at the tweak of a switch.
Owner is not at all new to car modifications, he used to own a fully done up wrx and to get a car modified by us for the first time, he was surprised by the quality of work done. Idling is perfectly stable at 500 rpm and car never stalls. Performance wise, there's no doubt about it, 1 bar boost and 300 bhp. Shiok!
The old pasir panjang market is still around and the owner of that seafood stall still the same... hahaha...
Owner is happy. He called Sam and told us a couple of days later that the ride is great. Of course la... knn, 300 horses leh...
verdict:
needless to say. Shiok!
On the flip side, this ride drinks fuel like nobody's business... haha... I think to people who buys an estima, they dun bother about fuel la... haha... 60L fuel tank to begin with...

Stock legacy GT tuned
Stock legacy GT tuned
Yes, Stock. Completely stock. Stock intake, stock airbox, stock actuator and stuff.
The stock vehicle comes with a map which consumes huge amount of fuel and extremely underpowered. Even if you don't need the power part, the part which consumes a high amount of fuel should tell most people this ride should be able to run on a leaner mapping and still stay young and healthy.
With the crazy rising cost of petrol at US$140 / barrel, its no wonder why so many legacy Gt are asking for a retune.
Again, hardware side is all LTA compliant and with minimal tweaking to retain all the stock looks and feel, Sam tweak and I tune, we present the owner with a Gt that is boosting 1.4 bars of boost while everything else remain intact in the car.
FC is definately much better now even with the increased amount of boost, since most of the driving occurs thankfully in the sane regions of driving.
Well, the result of this car can make the tight budget man smile. Hahaha. Of course! No need for messy modification and stuff. More Bhp, Better FC. LTA Compliant.
Its not us, its subaru.

We wrote something about this ride before, and this is the same customer as the earlier posts.
Now, we have seen the car installed a walboro fuel pump and many other things which requires us to fix up and retune.
The entire mapping was changed and there was something disturbing in the Emanage blue unit which warrants a full retune for this ride to run properly.
Overall, this ride is a very powerful ride, boosting a high of 0.9 bar of boost on a 950kg chasiss, racing clutch, powervalve, fully tuned suspension system, emanage blue, sard fuel regulator, walboro 255 fuel pump, AVCR boost controller and many more...
Anyway, owner has enough experience by now to see that setting up a car is no simple feat.
At the end of the day, all are happy and talking about sillypore garmen and my Albert Eistein theories. hahaha.

Heres one ride with everything... we're asked to retune the car which is running on Emanage blue. This ride comes with a IHI VF 24 turbo, racing clutch, and all the necessary things to make you wanna bring a fire extinguisher along while tuning this ride.
For one, the fuel regulator was leaking fuel. We can smell a strong petrol smell when the engine was running, and a close look at the regulator, you can see petrol ozzing out from the faulty regulator. That good enough reason for you to reach for that ignition key and turn off the engine.
Tuning this ride is full of fun and one can see that many of the setup in this ride has been nicely done. From what we can cook from this car, we have made the 'g' stronger when the turbo kicks in. This equates to increase torque and horses.
Overall, this ride is a nice ride to have, given its light chasis and ease of maintenance.
On the flip side, this ride is a little old already, so, I think its like you either like it or not.
Personally, I am impressed with this ride. Its one of those car which will make you think twice before passing it by...

Subaru TS 1.5L Turbo charged
Subaru TS 1.5L Turbo
This car is just less than a month old and is ready for turbo charging. Car has barely run-in and the job of running the car was left to us :)
In comparison to the older TS model, this make is slightly underpowered mainly due to its smaller capacity. The turbo kit for this car is relatively simple, a custom extractor, up-pipe, downpipe, TD04 turbo, sub injectors, AVCR boost controller, powervalve (tm), sard r2d2 bov and controlled using Emanage blue.
To add to the list of power packed gadets, we throw in a boost cooler to ensure maximum horsepower is extracted from this tiny 1.5L engine. We also maximize on the new AVCS and coil-on-plug ignition system that comes stock for this new model.
From sam's point of view, we're pretty used to the older model looks and feel and the amount of power it can produce. As compared the the 1.5L, we personally felt that it is somewhat lacking in terms of bhp for a subaru TS.
Well, from the owner's point of view, this kit is remarkably good. Its exceeded his inital expectation and felt that if his car can outrun an integra, it should be good enough. Well, the ingetra owner did gave him the thumbs up. On gear 1, integra was 3 cars ahead of the TS, on gear 2, both cars is on par, on 3rd, TS hugging tight to the turbo's full boost accelerates hard past the integra. wow. not bad liaoz...
The results, is a smooth car, perfect idling and running on automatic tranny. There is no way to tell from the outside that this car has been modified!
Verdict:
Use this kit to increase the bhp. Easiest way to achieve that 50% increase in bhp!
