Deadrick20 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Just tested to see what the 2018 does on the dyno and it got 231 to the wheels with 260 ft-lbs of torque. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That has to be crank horsepower. Wheel horsepower would have drivetrain loss.

wi_legacy2016 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 The engine is advertised as having 256HP. 231whp means 25HP is lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble Rumble Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 The 256 advertised is crank horsepower. If this is showing 231 to the wheels, that's roughly 290 hp to the crank, if based on a traditional automatic. I'm curious how the CVT plays into the amount of drivetrain loss. If that's accurate, that is very surprising because the same engine in the 5th gen shows crank power ratings of 256-260 which translates to 190 hp at the wheels, after factoring the 5EAT drivetrain loss. This would indicate Subaru made more changes between gen5 and gen6 than just the swap to CVT. Is this car tuned by chance? This is very nearly the same power rating I'm getting from my tuned gen5 3.6R, though my dyno was run on larger and heavier than stock wheels, so likely downed my actual power a bit. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowser51 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I wonder if all manufacturers underrate their engines? I drove a friend’s Cadillac ATS 4cyl with reported 275hp engine and my 4cyl 252hp BMW feels better. I’m also getting better mpgs than I did with my 3.6R Legacy. I also drove my exwife’s 305?hp V6 Camaro and it feels sluggish?? I know all are different cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCobbs Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I saw this somewhere on Subaru's site. A retuned ECU for 2018 provides the CVT with smoother and more responsive acceleration. Maybe CVT was slightly changed in 2018 and retuned so maybe that may have something to do with it. The guys over where the dyno was ran were saying they could feel the engine feeling limited after getting around 4600 and said this can be tuned to push out an extra 30 or so to the wheels and torque. In the changes for 2018 book I saw this as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadrick20 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) The engine is advertised as having 256HP. 231whp means 25HP is lost. Ok. What I’m saying is that those numbers are ridiculously high for a stock 3.6r. It’s probably just a super high reading dyno. If that’s wheel horsepower then that car dynos the same as most STI’s, which is beyond ridiculous.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk that's why I asked him for the results of a stock 2015 wrx on the same dyno for comparison. Heck, and STi would work too.... numbers on a dyno mean nothing on their own.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beamercub Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Just notice the M-D light stopped working,anyone had this replace under warranty? Just noticed the same problem with my car. Go figure. Would it be covered under the gold plus warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornichoe Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Just noticed the same problem with my car. Go figure. Would it be covered under the gold plus warranty? It is. But unless you have a $0 deductible plan, it may be just be easy to order the part and install yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowser51 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Or if you have a soldering iron, you can heat up the connection and press the LED back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grnlantern1 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Well after getting my Headliner and Visors upholstered I noticed my Visor lights didnt work..So decided to finally check it out today.. Had to remove the mirror piece from the visor very easy 1 out of 5 difficulty rating. You need star tips or a small allen wrench.. Their are 3 screws behind each light lens.. Well come to find out The upholstery shop had a small piece of suede covering the metal contacts.. So a quick tuck of material and lights are working..
