  1. To be completely honest, make sure the suspension is all sorted out before moving up to performance mods. I was thinking the opposite first when I got my car but then quickly realized that it stock form, the Legacy is a wobbly animal that needs some support. I'd actually be quite happy with the cars performance if the throttle response was super sharp. I mean... For now haha. I would use the intake though specifically for the 3.6R. I'm sure there's good reason for them to create two separate CAIs.

     

    Noted. I'm currently looking at getting a 2013 3.6R hopefully sometime this June. Is there a huge difference in the suspension between the 2013 and 2011 models?

  2. Question, would the Takeda intake (TR-4303P) work on a 3.6R considering that it has almost the same exact structure as the TR-4304P?

     

    Also I've got a guy on YouTube claiming that he's making around 300whp on his 3.6R with Raptor headers, a custom cat, AMR tune and Takeda intake. Is this accurate/achievable?

  3. Just a follow up after my ECM update from the dealer yesterday. The car feels better in the sense that when I let go of the gas to allow the car to roll down the road the RPMs no longer drop. It use to feel as if I was braking when I let go of the gas but now it rolls as it should making for a smoother ride. Any of those with a 13/14 2.5i out there, I advise you to do the same and request this ECM update!
  4. 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.

     

    Just got back from the dealership and they hooked me up with a ECM update for my 2014. Thanks Perscitus!

  5. Hello all:

     

    The purpose of this thread is to list mods for the 3.6R that do not overlap with mods that are available for the 2.5GT and the 2.5i. However, I will list Brakes at the bottom as there seems to be some interest.

     

    This first post will be updated based on new posts/feedback from other members.

     

     

     

     

    SPARK PLUG GAP FOR 3.6R

    .039-.043"

     

    I know that you said that this list is only for 3.6R mods but are there any mods like this available for the 2.5i such as an Ecutek tune ?
