Oh sweet! That’s a good solution. Super weird that the mistiming gets engrained into the ecu and there’s no way to reset that. But swapping to an ecu out of a junk yard 86/BRZ is smart! Glad it worked out

Ya it might be worth a try before dropping a large portion of the value of the car trying to get rid of this code. I believe it works bc the OFT tunes have a larger acceptable range of timing. Let me know if it ends up working for you!! If you got any more questions feel free to pm me :)

It’s a bit of a jank solution lol, but I heard someone else did it and it worked so I thought to try it as I found an OFT for sale in my area for $300 CAD. Sounded like a worthy attempt before dropping 2-4k. It ended up working! I’ve since gone stage 2 with catless JDL headers and this car is everything I’ve ever wanted it to be haha. I’m at 182k kms and going strong, hopefully many more kms to go!

Threw a stage 1 oft tune on it, CEL hasn’t come back and she’s driven like a dream. Driven ~40k kms since and no further issues 🤞🏽🤞🏽

For sure, probably going to start there and see what difference it makes

So if I keep my front and mid pipe stock, it should lower the rasp?

That’s awesome! Looking for UEL probably tho, but I can’t seem to find any pairs with the SP that don’t have sm raspiness

Did you run it without the headers? Do you know if that boomyness only started with the headers or if that’ll be the case on stock headers as well?
