ive tried reading all of these pages but have missed some things...

 

For anyone wondering, I have a LGT 05 with Automatic transmission.

 

1) what is the diff between AP Ver. 1 and Ver. 2? better maps or just quicker loading times?

 

2) For stage 1, what is the HP and Torque difference between octane 91 and 93?

 

3) sorry if this is really dumb, but does the car SOUND different with Stage 1 rather than stock? or does that only occur when you change pipes and other hardware?

 

4) does Stage 1 help with turbo lag?

 

Thanks for all of your patience and help.

my take:

2) I never had the vehicle dyno'd when I had it, but seat of the pants 93 Stage 1 vastly outshone 91 Stage 1. And although I even had a TDC 93 Stg1 map, I still thought the car was a bit weak. Stage 2 is the cure I guess. Also could have been the EAT holding it back a bit.

4) Not that I could tell that it did (I think a twin turbo setup would do it), but it (the map) seemed to vastly smooth the transition into boost. But it was still there, and after some experience turns into a likeable characteristic. An advantage in slow traffic, actually.

When I unmarried the Cobb, the car still felt like it had decent transition, vs. when I first had it. Maybe I got used to it. Try it out you'll know quick enough. It's really a great car!

For stage 1 what is the hp?

For stage 2 what is the hp?

For stage 3 what is the hp?

 

Also, has anyone ever done a stage 1 and not gained the 40 hp that supposedly was suppose to happen? This goes for stage 2 and 3 as well.........

 

Thanks for whoever answers.

I don't remeber my butt-dyno telling me I gained 40 hp with stage one. I'm not sure Stg 1 is supposed to give that. Prolly more like 20+ if UR lucky.

Spotted:

 

Silver LGT sedan @ Blockbuster in Mashpee Commons. Who was it?

If it was debadged mebbe it was the one I saw exiting Rt 3 at 44 a month ago..

Spotted 7/25: Blue Sedan w/ god fish thing on the rear bumper (assuming not here)

Spotted 7/25: New Black Sedan who honked at me, just missed waving to ya...DOH

Spotted 7/26: This AM 5:45ish GR Wagon right off 95 at the totten pond exit took a right over the bridge......

 

I'm start'n to see more and more

We'll be see'in less and less once they put the pig snout on this car...

Just flashed my car with the Stage 1 91 v1.10 last night. What a difference it has made already. Can't wait for the full learning process to complete.

 

This is probably the best $645 I will spend on this car.

Could you post some specifics once you run up some mileage, I am interested. Thx!

Thanks for your posting. The graph looks real good. I can see where the car might feel transformed.

Would there be a performance penalty if the real time map used is Stg 1 while leaving the base map stock? I'm just trying to simplyfy things if it's gotta see the dealer, but I don't want a performance penalty if I can easily avoid it.

if you really want to take full advantage of the AP, i would suggest using the same base map you would normally want to drive at.

 

eg: use stage1 93 octane as your base map, and then switch to a stock realtime map if you need to, or just flash back to stock if you need to.

 

Dont worry about using up your flashes -- the car can handle more than 100 flashes easily, and even at 100 -- that will last you much longer than the life of the car under any kind of normal flashing routine.

 

 

here is my dyno running Stage1 93 octane on the version 1.01 map = the red and green lines represent stage1 base map.

 

the blue lines reprsent stage1 base map - stock real time map.

 

I was told by MachVdan (who's dyno i was on) - that the real time stock numbers were almost identical to what other stock legacies put down. - so it's a good indication of a truely stock legacy.

Dude I hear you, had the car a month and a half, that paint is the only serious gripe I have. One deep scratch on my rear bumper and a .25 in "thing" as well on white.

 

Where did you buy from?

Found it at Atlantic Sube over the BBridge, was a "sales mgr's" car, had about 5,000 miles on it. Probably more like a "demo".

Had some marks on it as well, but for the cash diff with the trade, I thought it was worth it as it stood, warts and all. And I figured by the time I got done with it - it will be worse than when I got it (for sure).

But it seems to run very well. Gotta lot of energy.

Like to send it to "Overhaulin" -- let those dudes straighten out the paint.

I hear the Nissans and Infiniti's are wicked prone to chipping. Prolly a lot of others too. Makes me sick.

I work at exit 12 and live off exit 3.

54 mi round every day. The paint it is a'chippin !

Ed_T - Where are you located? I'm off RT 3 @ EX 13.

 

Seems like wrx2blackgt and I are the only ones in the South Shore area. All you other guys are located out in Lexington. Guess we have the typical OB/Forester crowd out here.

 

SPOTTED - Black Legacy 2.5i at Bay State Athletic Club on July 13th.

I'm curious about the performance levels to be gained... using 93 exclusively but I'm guessing that I'm not getting full punch. The car feels strong already but I suspect there's more to be had.

If anyone out there is set up this way I'd really like your opinions and comments!

Considering using AP stock as base and S1 93 real-time.
