How I Successfully Used AI to Tune a WRX/STI (Without Blowing It Up) There’s a big difference between using a laptop to flash a tune and actually engineering a calibration. When I decided to tune a WRX/STI with AI involved, the goal wasn’t to let a robot chase power numbers. The goal was simple: Make … How I Successfully Used AI to Tune a WRX/STI (Without Blowing It Up)
Extracting & Validating MAF Sensor Scaling from a 2005 WRX Denso 16-Bit ECU When people talk about “tuning,” they usually jump straight to boost or ignition timing. That’s a mistake. If the MAF scaling isn’t correct, everything downstream lies — AFR targets, injector math, knock behavior, even load calculation. Before touching boost, before touching timing, … Extracting & Validating MAF Sensor Scaling from a 2005 WRX Denso 16-Bit ECU
