AIMing for perfection

Steve FryUncategorised

Adam brought us his recently run-in classic GC8 Impreza track car to fit his AIM dash cluster and remap his Syvecs ECU.  And what a car this is!   After a health check on the ramp and some new Hardrace rear trailing arms, we got to work wiring in the new dashboard. The AIM is a fully customisable dashboard that …

A Skyline gets the Enginetuner touch

Steve FryUncategorised

Bradley contacted Enginetuner in January via our Facebook page to enquire about having his R34 Nissan Skyline mapped. During a subsequent call with Ben, he mentioned how he had bought an Enginetuner-built Impreza STI and was blown away by how well it drove. As seems to be the norm for Imprezas, his car had been tweaked before by other establishments, …

More than just a body swap

Stephen brought us his highly modified WRX back in 2018 for some tuning work on his Alcatek ECU. He immediately fell in love with our facility after receiving a tour of our workshop and seeing at first hand the services we offer. Whilst on the premises, Stephen noticed a Prodrive edition STI sitting lonely in the corner. He asked the …

An 824BHP Newage monster

Wayne has had his 2002 Prodrive Impreza STI since 2013 and wasted very little time in bringing it to Enginetuner for upgrading. We initially rebuilt his engine by stroking it out to 2.1 litres, adding bigger injectors, an Alcatek ECU and a Precision turbo. Looking for a fast road car, this gave Wayne a very usable 500BHP or so in …

Excitement and anticipation build …

A rare breed

The Subaru Impreza WRX STI Litchfield Type 25 has always been a rare car. Now we believe there are fewer than 10 left. This blue 2004 Type 25 is owned by Rob, our MD. In fact, it was this car that first introduced him to Enginetuner as a customer. Needing an engine rebuild, Rob got in touch with the best …

Confined to the stable for far too long

adminUncategorised

Beautiful on the eye, but poor running issues meant that this rather special Ferrari 308 was not the prancing horse it once was!   2020 and its various lockdowns meant the Ferrari had been confined to its stable for over 12 months. We can’t blame the 308 for throwing a tantrum and not running right.   Originally prepared as a …

Sadly some omega fish oils wouldn’t be enough to fix this Forester; time for some Enginetuner TLC to ensure the engine matched the pristine bodywork. After a quick chat with Alan to discuss the issue, Luke quickly decided to trust our experience and …
