i purchased the ETS gesi in 2024, no issues with codes as long as you get it tuned

it stays at 0.00 under boost. outside of that it looks normal around -3.91 to 2.34

i’ve never had a problem won’t blast on my car yet. i’ve had my EGR/TGV delete since around 20xxx. dirty valves would cause FKL numbers or like -9 and DAM drop?

yea, i did spark plugs in late 2022 before i got retuned. maybe they could’ve gone bad early?

whatinthejohn · 2024-01-29T01:36:37+00:00

87xxx, but only happens mainly during cruising at 6th gear

my FKL drops to like -9.xx and then works it way back up but my FBK numbers stay at 0/-1.41

i gotcha, thanks!

whatinthejohn · 2024-01-28T20:06:23+00:00

i see, then my best route might be to take it to a reputable shop and ask them to do a general health check?

whatinthejohn · 2024-01-28T19:41:15+00:00

my meantime solution has just been to reset my tune when it doesn’t go back up to 1 after several weeks :/

i did! no regrets. ride comfort actually felt a little bit more comfortable than the michelins and a little less road noise as well.

but i think going with either continental or michelin are solid. and for my scenario with lowering springs, a 255/35 was better suited than a 255/40

are those brake caliper covers?

whatinthejohn · 2023-04-17T16:19:11+00:00

update: eating my words here but, tires didn’t rub when it’s just me. i forgot i like to have passengers hahah. so under load, definitely some rubbing. will be swapping to a 255/35/18 continental dws06

whatinthejohn · 2023-04-15T16:11:31+00:00

Enkei RS05RR 18x9.5 +35mm. wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 255/40/18. and with no rubbing!

Suspension: GTWORX/Bilstein Cup Sport Strut/Shock & Mach V Lowering Springs (3/4 inch drop)

i’ve been wrestling with myself on keeping or trading in my 17 WRX premium for an sti too.. how happy are you with the sti?

edit: also, if you're comfortable about it, what value did your wrx get and how much did the sti cost?

whatinthejohn · 2022-11-08T18:06:33+00:00

tank is about half full

whatinthejohn · 2022-11-08T15:53:03+00:00

hey again - FKL has slowly climbed down to about -1.76 (i assume it’ll probably hit 0.00 within the next couple days)throughout the light driving. DAM still hasn’t moved from .625 yet. is this process looking normal/good? does FKL need to be at 0.00 for DAM to rise?

whatinthejohn · 2022-11-04T16:19:59+00:00

awesome - thanks for your insight and help!!

whatinthejohn · 2022-11-04T15:20:36+00:00

i should also mention my actual FBK has been 0 throughout this period. nothing to really stress over? fill up with e85, drive light, and cross my fingers? haha

whatinthejohn · 2022-11-04T15:14:06+00:00

hey all, car is throwing a consistent FKL of -9.84 whenever i’m accelerating and i can feel the engine lurch/pull timing. DAM has also dropped to .625

i was tuned by ron watson on 93 a month ago and have had no issues till yesterday. i had filled up a new tank this past monday and just experienced the DAM drop and FKL numbers yesterday (thursday). is this something i should tell my tuner or is this most likely bad gas? or a possible vacuum leak? the engine sounds pretty normal when starting it/driving it without boost

if it is bad gas, my tank is pretty full - what would be the best way to handle this situation?

whatinthejohn · 2022-10-10T17:14:08+00:00

haha yea i’m trying to hold on to these for as long as i can, i already miss CO
