2020 SUBARU STI · HALTECH NEXUS S3

Brett’s everyday STI.

A blue STI on gold wheels, slightly lifted, with a single driver-side exhaust exit. This project moved from Accessport to Haltech Nexus S3 with a focus on everyday drivability and a minimally intrusive upgrade.

THE PROJECT

Keep the focus on the drive.

Brett’s STI was previously on an Accessport. He had experienced recurring P0420 faults, including with the stock downpipe fitted, and opted for a different engine-management solution.

The aim was a well-driving STI with minimal intrusion. ECU selection and calibration were part of that project; the dyno figures document the tuning sessions, rather than a diagnosis or repair of the catalyst fault.

A response-focused turbo plan.

AWD’s named post for Brett’s 2020 STI documents a COBB TD05H-20G prepared for installation, with low- and mid-range response part of the upgrade’s intended appeal.

The post records that stage of the project; it does not establish the installed hardware for every later tuning session.
