Looks like a nice leak going on. Send the log to your tuner first. If the shop did the work let them deal with it if you're not confident with looking over it yourself.

Default have a look please

https://datazap.me/u/jnorwooddds2004...g=0&data=18-20

mainly I want you guys that know what you're looking at to look for any unsafe red flags. This is not a conventional tune. I am also not on a conventional setup. I don't want to bring my parts into play yet unless I have to. I will tell you that I should be fine up to about 30psi boost.

Stop doing wot pulls and send that log to your tuner. Are you noticing a difference now or has the car always felt the same? You're leaning wayyyyy out mid range, fuel pressures pretty low. Cant see boost but maybe lpfp not being able to keep up? If you roll into that range in a higher gear somethings going to melt.
What mods? (thanks rexy)

Hpfp i guess, never seen a lpfp generate 1000psi+. Its gotta be tune related and all over the place. He wont share his mods so who knows whats happening.

Boost is being read off of map. So basically map-14.6

Who is tuning this?

I think you are running out of fuel and are leaning out mid range. So if i hear you correctly you are pushing ~25psi, is this on stock fueling and stock lpfp? I am e50 tuned and my timing maxes out at 21.5 where yours maxes at 13.5. Id pull boost mid range and advance timing, but I am NOT a tuner, just a layman.

E50, stock lpfp. Won’t name tuner because it’s a map from before engine was replaced, so tuner is not responsible. I just loaded it in and it ran super, with no knock. So I wanted to hear feedback.

Engine was replaced WITH mods previously on it?

OR

Engine was replaced and added all these mods as well?

The stock fuel system is just about maxed out on a fully bolt on car with the stock turbo running flex fuel. You are running a larger than stock turbo as well so you are pushing the stock fuel system even further, and based on your logs it looks like you are running out of fuel.

Read the "Upgraded Turbo Mod Path" section here - https://phatbottituning.com/mod-path

You should get your fueling situation sorted (meth injection, replace the LPFP) before doing any more pulls. And get a new tune.

Hi all,

I've recently had carbon cleaning and a pro-tune done to address knock and DAM issues on Cobb stage 1+Big SF and now my car won't build boost past 3psi in first gear. Outside of intake and brake upgrades the car is totally stock. I sent my latest 0-60 logs to the tuner and I'm curious if the NASIOC community has any ideas as to why I'm not building boost in first gear?

Post Format:
- 2015 WRX base
- Mods
-Cobb Big SF Intake
- 6MT
- 93 octane ProTune
- 0 - 60mph 2 pulls, edited

https://datazap.me/u/rhiiine/0-60-pu...0.00&tmax=2.01

I'm also seeing a 22+psi boost spike in 3rd:

- 3rd gear, partial pull

https://datazap.me/u/rhiiine/3rd-gea...3.00&tmax=3.26

Default new guy with new acessport and some ??? Dam drop w]

Ok so just bought car about 3 weeks ago.80,000 2016 WRX 6MT. Have done all Maint. IE new plugs, Fresh oil change, new air filter, cleaned MAF, changed front and rear diff fluid, Flushed brake fluid, and changed the cabin filter. Car was and still is stock.. I just Installed ACCESSPort V3 2 days Flashed the 91 stage 1 tune and i was pretty pleased with the difference in drivability of the car. No more lag when applied throttle and felt little more peppy. Ive read and have been reading about what to monitior and the FKL FBK and DAM and i have that all on my display. Well after about 3 days of driving my damn dropped to .875 i was driving highway from home to work which is about 35 mins i did see some feed back knock of -2.81 fine knock of -2.46/1.05 but mostly nothing constant ive attached logs ive since been driving locally and havent seen much more knock but 2 days and dam still same .875

I would say don’t be too concerned with it. OTS maps are not the best since it’s not tailored specifically for your car. You will see cruise knock and a drop in DAM from time to time. ust don’t drive it hard all the time and consider getting an etune/protune.

Phatbotti tuning. Google it then go to shop and look for ots stg1 and ots stg2 if you're running a downpipe. Cannot go wrong for 150/100$ respectively. He is one of the top Subaru tuners. Only tunes two generations of subarus literally.

I run his custom flex tune for 35k miles now without one problem. Conservative daily 350/350 tune.

Posted today but general stuff, nothing groundbraking. This is flex tune, i run the lowest one.

You are not supposed to run Cobb BigSF intake file with a stock sized AEM intake. There is a lot of fuel correction going on.

Hey guys, I am currently in the process of getting an e-tune and my tuner sent me a base file to do some logs on. The first few logs he said my airflow was way off and that I should check it over carefully for vacuum leaks before running it again. I re-installed the stock BOV and cleaned the MAF and MAP sensors as well as did the best i could to make sure no hoses were off. I ran another log (not a long one and i only pulled to about 5.3k RPMs in 3rd) to see if that made a difference. I think it did but i am not getting any feedback from my tuner. Can you tell me if these values are in the acceptable range? I would think my tuner could work with these numbers and dial them in more himself....?[

The log is almost 17 minutes long and I had to sort the time column for some reason?? I wouldn't blame the tuner not wanting to look through it.

I found the WOT portion and there is a quite bit of positive fuel correction. I see the AF correction pegged at 25% in some areas during part throttle...

Check the intake for un-metered air entering the system, make sure the filter is positioned per Cobb's recommendation.

Yeah, thanks. He originally asked for a 30 min log so these follow ons were roughly 15 mins. Yeah, can’t find the potential leak but I haven’t touched the intercooler yet so I’ll do that soon. Just wanted another opinion. Appreciate it.

You have pretty bad boost oscillations.
Is the tune for a stock or 3-port boost controller?
