Turbo K24 Swapped BRZ Questions.

I swapped my Turbo FA BRZ two years ago with a k24a2. I jumped in the haltech groups and found a very reputable tuner to tune it remotely. The tune feels alright (I mean, much better than I could do 🤣), but think there’s room for improvement. Btw; I’m tuned on a Haltech Elite 1500.

For starters, when it’s warming up at various points, it will sputter and sound like it has a larger cam. I’ll blip the throttle and it corrects itself then will do it again a few short seconds later. It will do this almost until fully warmed up.

So I purchased the practical tuning course with the intentions of at least learning how to tune MY car and knowing how to fix this issue. I’ve been binge watching it for days and feel a bit lost.

In addition to this, I wanted to know how to adjust the timing to make a little more power or to adjust the torque curve a bit since I feel he made it ultra safe being remote.

I ended up feeling relatively confident, so I rented dyno time at my local guy with a mobile dyno. Once I learned it wasn’t load bearing after I got there, all my confidence went down the window not being able to do a torque optimization test and CLEARLY see when I was hitting MBT.

I felt so lost not knowing what to adjust, how to detect knock, and ended up with a map that had more sharp bumps than I did in highschool 😂 I don’t really know how to blend it in NSP to have that nice shape. I’ll “linearise” stuff, but doesn’t seem like the correct formula.

I don’t really know how to tune or extrapolate the timing/fuel within haltech for this boosted application confidently. I felt good ahead of time but between the course and dyno time, in two days I feel like I burned $800 😕

If there’s anyone out there willing to team viewer/video call and walk me through what I’m doing a bit more, that would be absolutely massive and I would be beyond grateful.

Thanks yall,
