You might like this.... 3D printed in France by yours truly. Painted with metallic sharpies.

Yup, in that case I can help for sure. Do you know your ECUID/CALID? I can reflash your TCU while we are at it. Donations are of course welcome.

Where are you located FKCConspiracy? Depending on how far and whether we can get a stock ROM image for your car (I think we can), I can help.

Lol, Ed is talking about injectors and coil packs I believe. Headers, exhaust mods, intake chambers and sealed airboxes help this and the 3.0R engine breathe better and make power, tuned.

Yup, we talked about them at some point. Mucho dinero. I will try to find the link. Update: it was actually the set of plasma coil packs for the 3.0R and 3.6R. http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5125195&postcount=733 Coming back to injectors, Supercharged 3.6Rs need bigger injectors, I believe they source them from a 2008+ STI. They fit without issue but require a tune (injector size, PW, DC scaling). For NA, I doubt you need bigger injectors. Ive never seen either my fuel pump or injector DC exceed 70%. Now, some nice aftermarket units might be nice but the stock ones are good enough... most importantly they just need to work properly.

There are actually 3 colors Subaru CVT fluid... amber/golden, green and blue. All depends on application and in the case of blue and green, timeline. The most common blue cvt fluid is for example is being phased out and replaced with green, can be mixed with it too. Amber/golden fluid is used in Lineatronic HT-CVTs only, cant or rather shouldnt be mixed with either green or blue or any other cvt fluid. Its also not sold in qts, only 5 gallon jugs. Many times Dealership service and parts depts do not know this and have sold the blue fluid to Forster XT and WRX CVT owners.

Youll feel it. I had that setup before. Stock 2010 front, 19mm rear, then Stock 2013 front and 19mm rear. Its good, but with other suspension upgrades, the 2015 wrx 21mm would be better or a Whiteline 22mm adjustable set to 21mm. Then again, your stock front may not be 26mm, so a 19mm or the 2015 wrx oem 21mm will likely be well balanced. For the 26mm front fsb, 19mm isnt perfectly matched... but still light years better than the puny oem 16mm rear. This will help to... looks like going 16-19mm results in 99% increase in stiffness (lol) http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5233003&postcount=19189

Hey JT_36R. Thus far its fairly consistent, I'm averaging 23mpg in mixed (mostly city) driving. All highway I typically see 29mpg now. Keep in mind we are still working through the revisions and I'm flashing, resetting my ECU every couple of days... plus not driving it each day. So with each revision the ECU has a. limited time to re-learn (enough for the tune, perhaps not enough for stable MPG stats) b. is learning as the MPG stats build up (which I bet isn't helping them stay high).

Raptor Supercharger Performance parts play a big part in that equation. Always bring a smile to 3.0R and 3.6R owners faces.

Quick update on XRT (Xtreme Racing Tuning) e-tune progress. We are on the 4th, 5th revision now and the car runs better than ever! As smooth and linear as she was in stock form with less than 100 miles on the ODO, but of course far far stronger. Very crisp, quick throttle response all around Great low and mid RPM torque and power delivery in any gear Strong high RPM and WOT pulls (she pulls hard well above 6K RPM) Butter smooth idle Drastically better 5EAT behavior (gear selection, holding, engine braking, shifts in auto and manual mode) Improved sensor readings and ranges (IAM, A/F Learn and Correct, MAF voltage vs g/sec scaling: happy engine, happy ECU) Further refined engine sound (likely as a result of AVCS, base and max knock additive and cruise timing table changes) The tune has rounded out all the mechanical mods and even stabilized Bank1 and Bank2 AFRs, especially at idle and under CL driving... exactly where I need and want them to match. Hats off to Ed for his work! We are almost done I bet, just refining at this point.

Perhaps they only did the ECM, not the TCM. The latest TCM update for your CVT seems to have come out this Jan-2015. Stop by a dealership and have them update the TCM and once done get them to give you the Calibration IDs (CALIDs, CIDs) for both the ECM and TCM.

And a few moarh recent pics, for no apparent reason:

The low RPM rattle issue was fixed on mine this past Saturday. In my case it turned out to be a loose clamp on the mid pipe not too far upstream of the rear axle and diff. It must have vibrated loose over time or was not torqued down well enough the last time the exhaust was off the car. While here, we inspected the entire exhaust like Tim suggests and found one other 'minor' issue. One of the Bank 2 exhaust port pins was pulled out and never threaded back in by the shop that had the headers off most recently. You can see it in the attached pics, the pin all the way over to the left... compare it to any to the right. We locked it with another nut and fed it back into the block. Re-checked all points from exhaust ports to the muffler tips out back. Tightened all bolts, nuts, etc. And did a smoke test to check for leaks. None found. She's as good as new, no rattles, no strange noises 800 to 6.4K RPM

I've been keeping an eye on this thread and decided to do something for all 5th-gen and 6th gen CVT owners. I've compiled an 'as-of-Jul-2015' list of all the ECU/ECM (Engine Control Unit) and TCU/TCM (Transmission Control Unit) updates from FHI available to SoA dealership network and/or for purchase from Subaru publications ($75 for a quarterly release CD + Tactrix OPv2 or other J-cable) so you can apply these on your own. Super easy, I've done it many times. Have a look and if you have either RomRaider, EcuEdit, BtSsm, EcuFlash - you can see your current ECU CID/CALID (Calibration ID) and figure out if you have the latest one for your MY 2.5L CVT. Getting at the TCU CALID is a bit more tricky with third party software. The dealership can tell you or you'll need the FlashWrite software that comes on the CD to check yourself. Anywho, without further ado, check out the latest updates, see if they apply to your car and if you notice the symptoms or codes Subaru quoted as being remedied with the updates. Hope this helps our CVT brethren! If you end up going to the dealership, request that they apply the PAK files listed below for your given Model Year and either CAL or FED-emissions car. They will be able to cross-reference these updates using those PAK (Package File) names. http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=215538&d=1440805677.jpg CVT_Updates_2010_2015.csv

I seem to have some right now. Exactly @ 1.45-1.5K RPM and only there. Super annoying and indeed sounds like a$$. Everywhere else - mint.

stevenc1703 had already been drinking the (Xtreme Racing Tuning) 3.6R elixir long before I tried it http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4860233&postcount=11702 http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4926464&postcount=929 http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4861219&postcount=667 http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4783845&postcount=1 On my 3rd revision with XRT and the car is responding very well to west_minist's changes! v0 was already great - great idle, low/mid range torque, great transmission behavior, zero knock. v1 improved throttle response, made it quick and crisp and added even more low/mid range torque, further timing and AVCS tweaks. v2 (latest) is the icing on the cake. Rounded out all the changes from v0 and v1. Smoothest power delivery, pulls great from low RPM all the way to 6.x K RPM Nearly ideal throttle response and transmission behavior (I can't imagine it getting any better!). The car responds to throttle input like a 2015 WRX in S or S# and the transmission works very similar to it too. Holds gears, downshifts and upshifts very quickly. More testing this weekend (v2a).

I've switched to an XRT (Xtreme Racing Tuning) tune and all I can say is WOW! The car is now updated with both the latest stock FHI/SoA ECM and TCM stock flashes and tuned on top of these. We're 'only' on the 2nd revision and already making great progress. Ed has been a pleasure to work it. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive with performance and log results that back it up. Engine runs great, transmission runs great, no longer constantly tries to upshift to 5 all the time, holds lower gears, responds far far better to throttle input and delivers the torque I'd expect at low and mid-RPM. StevenC, you're spot on with how the 5EAT can be transformed. All thanks to Xtreme Racing Tuning. I'm impressed. http://www.xtremeracingtuning.com/forum/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Xtreme-Racing-Tuning/373066652830868 http://www.sb9t.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2925

Ping Edward 'west_minist'. He'll help you out. Tell him I sent you.

That Fuel Learn at idle seems high, its as-if the car has learned to add 15-20% fuel rather consistently to hit lambda targets... assuming 1 or close to 1 at warmed up idle. If so, it must be thinking its running lean and tries to add that much fuel to hit the CL fuel target. 150 seconds of Highway Fuel correct seems somewhat reasonable, withing +/-5% typically. Notice the see-saw fuel behavior toward the end? Your Fuel Learn tanked to 0% but the Fuel Correct picked right up to fill in the 'gap' and added 10-15% fuel on top of that 0%. But try not to vary the throttle that much, instead either keep it the same or increase/decrease gradually. Don't log any sudden throttle changes... tip-in and CL/OL, OL/CL transitions throw things off too much. What you should do to get a better picture of what's going on is add a third column where you add Fuel Lean #1 and Fuel Correct #1 and plot that instead (effectively same thing as LTFT + STFT). Can you also log and plot Fuel Learn #3 and Fuel Correct #3, Lambda #1, Closed Loop flag or CL/OL Fueling (so you can filter OUT all OL data points for now, easily) Other plots to consider....: Fuel Trims as a function of MAF g/sec Fuel Trims as a function of Load g/rev MAF v as a function of MAF g/sec

How much torque is making its way to the 5EAT at this point? It would be a good indicator of limits that the 3.6R (especially the supercharged 3.6R cars) should look to.

Quick update from AMR who have been hard @ work further decoding our ROMs beyond what ROMRaider and Ecutek can do out of the box. They now have per-cylinder injector control and more control over the 5EAT (way it shifts, power output per gear, no shift-point control just yet)... most likely indirectly via the ECM (as it connects to the TCM) rather than the TCM itself. Individual injector control and injector compensations is decoded for: 2014 Legacy/Outback 3.6R, with the following ECUID/CID combo: http://www.romraider.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=10319 http://www.xtremeracingtuning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=514 2011 Legacy/Outback 3.6R, with the following ECUID/CID combo: http://www.romraider.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=11616

Its gasket, then spacer, then header (I believe).

Enabling mode: ON... Subispeed has a set of FA20DIT headers. But Id say they are more trouble than their worth for little gain on stock turbo. But still...

The spacers are only needed in two cases (Tradewind, please correct me if any of below is incorrect): a. 5th gen 3.6R with 26mm FSB (either a 2013+ or a 2010-12 with upgraded FSB) they help to prevent clearance issues with the headers and FSB once the suspension is loaded once off the lift and/or active when car is in motion b. 6th gen 3.6R
