Love the pops and bangs and the 2,800rpm start point is a great idea. Wish I could bring my stock JDM WRX to you but I'm based in Japan. Oh, the irony!!
Great video from a well respected tuner I can’t wait for more and gain some valuable knowledge I have the the car and the gear and hungry to learn cheers please keep the videos coming 👌👍👌
I must agree with yourself. Pops and bangs are a great laugh when you want them but if you're driving down the road at a normal speed and pop and crackle like the golf r then that's too much. There's a fine line between chavvy and cool 😂😂
Thanks.. Agreed. I chose the 2800 rpm start point so that I can drive normally without them.. Seems to work well imo for some giggles when I want them and stealth mode when I don't 😊
I'd need to check whether Ecutek racerom would be possible to cover your ecu as that would allow adding a separate ignition map for sports# to have the sound effects on. Done this many times on Imprezas 😎
Can wait to bring my car in to you a little later this year and hopefully get some nice power. I'm still getting all bits together. hopefully, you can make a little video too 😉 Keep up the videos👍
@RaceDynamix Subaru Tuning we have been in contact already for my wrx recently and appreciate all the help and advice you've given me on the upgrade path. Gona get the Tgv delites, bigger Turbo, and 650cc injector and bunch of other things, too.

Hello, I loved the video, I'm from Brazil and I would like to put pops and bangs on my Impreza 2.0 aspirated 2009, would you have any video about it? I can't find anything in Brazil here. Thank you
Yes mate.. On the lookout for one coming in for mapping G that doesn't mind being featured. Sadly I sold my Bp5 in 2022..tempted to get another 😎. Thanks for watching 🙏
Enjoying seeing more content from you mate. Have to get my car back down for a checkup at Surrey RR sometime. Are pops and bangs achievable on the 09 hatch STi standard ECU running Ecutek?
Hi. Exactly the same way as I did it on the video. If that table doesn't exist in the xml definitions for your rom it doesn't mean that table isnt there...just that noone has put it into the definition. I added that table to my one. What software are you using?
Thank you for sharing, im still fairly new to tuning and I have a question, how do you get the ALPHA OverRun fueling dropdown? its disabled on mine, I use ecuflash btw
That can be done on Ecutek racerom which is available on drive by wire cars. On some cable throttle cars it is possible to do alternative types of rooms using a mild antilag set up but I wanted to cover the basics of what contributes to it so that it can be applied to whatever type of rom you are tuning 👍
Great Videos, am I right in saying if you raise the ignition timing this will reduce the ferocity of the pops and bangs or would this just move the spark point. i.e. set to 0 instead of negative?
Hey mate thanks for the videos and info, i asked you again but can't find that comment , i have carberry on mine done by a tuner but he has different definitions thsn yours and he can't use your tables. What can we do about it? I would love some burble 😂 Thanks!
I like the pops and bangs but have a Prodrive stainless steel exhaust system in place as part of the PPP and would worry that it might make the cats cough their expensive guts out!
Just curious if this can be done on a twin turbo legacy with the factory exhaust? I’m thinking if trying it out 😂. I hope you left the pops and bangs in the tune
Hi... I am not sure off the top of my head as to the limitations of the ecu in yours but assuming you can get the timing where it needs to be the pops will be created. Whether you can hear them through the std cats and resonators is another thing - I very much doubt it will be audible to any real degree. Worth experimenting though :) Pops and bangs stayed in mine for a long while but have removed at the moment as most of my miles currently are boring motorway miles... They will return :)
Hmm. I am not sure that the exact same types of definitions would be available for the H6 na car but there will be a way to make some pops in there for sure :)
How can I get ahold of you regarding a base map/ self tuning question? I just can’t afford a pro tune anymore and ordered a tactrix and downloaded ecu tek.. got a semi decent map going but would love to purchase a new base map from you…
Hi, that is because on the overrun the std set up switches off fueling. Just touching the throttle opens the injectors a bit. That's why I adjusted the overrun fueling threshold map too to give some fuel to combust 👍
It's more difficult to add to a gc8. The 99/00 ecu won't let you go into negative ignition values and the earlier ecus aren't mappable as std. Aftermarket ecus are available for them and you can add them.. Obviously check with your mapper 😔👍
Any long term effects of the pops and bangs apologies if I missed you mention this in the vid? Mine actually pops and crackles a quite a bit as it is 😁
The main downsides are a little more wear on the turbo due to the shock of the explosion through the turbo and on the O2 sensor. Because I also effectively switched off the overrun fuel cut off there is a marginal increase in fuel consumption. Thanks for commenting and watching 🙏
@@racedynamix What about risk of damage to the valve heads Dunc? Have you ever come across broken or damaged valves as a result of running a pop and bang map? Really enjoying your vids, keep posting!
I've not seen that to date. Full on antilag could do that but these are much milder and unlikely to cause much extra strain there. Obviously if you chose to add them then be aware that there are downsides 👍
@@racedynamix Thanks for the reply! Oh, I already have pops and bangs ;) (ruclips.net/user/shorts1yh39ti-jLw). I can stomach a turbo change (always an excuse to upgrade) but if it was causing serious engine issues if used long term I'd be thinking about how frequently I used them - switchable maps, pops only on the high boost map. Obviously I am well aware that any sort of engine tuning can lead to issues and failure of components. The car only does about 1000 miles a year so I like to enjoy it and make it a bit of an event when I do use it. Cheers Dunc!
Had my blobeye done the other week by a different company, only pops when revs are really high and exhaust has to be way hotter than im comfortable with, same with launch control and antilag, flick the switch and it raises the revs but no pop and bang :( sad subaru blobeye owner
In regards to the green connectors, can you not just plug them into each other? Also, i did have a look for ecu edit but could not find anywhere to purchase the key to activate the software
Yes you could just plug them in but when making multiple changes it is so much easier to flick a switch rather than clambering under the dash. Look on epifansoft dot com for the software and purchasing 👍
I havent seen any issues running mild pops like this for many years... but essentially all good things are bad for your engine, so take it easy with them :)
Are you seeing tables for overrun fueling? If not there may be a way to do it using the dbw tables in overrun conditions to enable it to open throttle a bit.. But be careful with this as you don't want the car driving itself.
@@racedynamixThank you for your reply. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any tables identified in SubaruEdit for overrun fuelling. I'm tuning mostly CVT Forester XTs here so I think throttle opening when foot is off the pedal is undesirable since the CVT remains "in-gear".

would avcs have an effect on the pops and bangs if not adjusted with the base map, if i want the pops and bangs i have to gently touch the throttle
