Brooksy2.5I Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Not an April fools joke! http://images.nasioc.com/forums/images/smilies/banana.gif It's about time for another suby drive up to Sedona. We can drive up and meet at the Basha's in Sedona like last year (there is a Subway there for the hungry http://images.nasioc.com/ubb-files/smilies/biggrin.gif ), then we trickle back down through Jerome(careful of cops there) and stop at Mingus Mountain for some pics at the rest stop. We will meet at 8:30am at Forced Air Technologies since it's right off of the I-17 and Cactus and the parking lot is big. Here is the google map: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=2818+...,0.026052&hl=en From there at 9:00 am we will get on the I-17 north . Here are the directions from FAT to Basha's/Sedona in order: 1. Head east from W Cactus Rd - go 0.1 mi, 2. Turn left at N Black Canyon Fwy aka. I-17 - go 0.1 mi, 3. Take the I-17 N ramp to Flagstaff - go 88 mi, 4. Take the AZ-179 exit 298 to Sedona/Oak Creek Canyon - go 0.2 mi, 5. Turn left at AZ-179 - go 15 mi, 6. Turn left at AZ-89-ALT - go 1.9 mi, 7. Turn right at Coffee Pot Dr - go 0.1 mi The weather should be perfect, and there are some nice twisties on the way back through Jerome to Mingus Mountain. As always, Let's be safe on this drive and no accidents or ticket's please!! There may be kids and pets on this drive http://images.nasioc.com/forums/images/smilies/cool.gif !

rodan Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Why don't you go North through Wickenburg and Prescott then over Mingus, and return home via I17... much nicer drive up (though longer), and quicker return trip. I may try to join in either way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodan Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 We picked the easiest way to keep the group together. I would think this would be easier on secondary roads as compared to I17 weekend traffic. Besides the fact that 17 is boooring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are going to be others w/babies/kids also. I'm not bringing the legacy just the forester on this trip. Hopefully your friend w/the Spec B will be able to make it.

elpete77 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Quick question, should I try to get an AP prior to, with no other mods on the car, or should I wait till I can do AP, UP, DP, etc., etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can gain about 50 ft/lb and 35 hp with NO other mods. I am getting tuned with ECUTeK by DynoComp next week. I am gonna install a DP though. They expected more than 50/35 stock though, so I should gain around 65-70ft/lb and 50hp or more. I am being conservative on what they were expecting. Its definately worth it. I am gonna check out how well they wune with the AP as opposed to ECUTeK, and go from there on what Im gonna go with. Ill keep you informed. They can also set you up for a tune about 2 days after you call. And I am being charge 900 for a tune AND the ECUTeK software. its 225 or so for just a tune. They do a GREAT job, too. Look at their upgrades they do. Legacy GT is down near the midpage or bottom http://www.dynocomp.com/subaru.php?view=subaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05BluePearlGT Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Plus those numbers for the Legacy GT were in their words, "A very conservative tune. Its just when customers send their ECU and we reflash it. With an actual custom tune you are looking at much higher numbers on a stock car." So with any other mods, raise the numbers even more. I am being tuned for my Crucial DP (with no cat), and my AEM intake. Ill post up my numbers, and if anybody wants to tag along, Ill let you guys know when the tune is gonna be after I call them in a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elpete77 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I'd be interested, still a bit confused on the whole deal, reflash, warranty, blah blah. I know I want more power though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy05 Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I had an AP .. and sold it for my rims ... the AP comes with some nice vanilla maps, but I was a bit concerned that it was tuned specifically for my car. No one in AZ at the time did any protune for it. I do know and from what I have read, the service shops can not tell your car has been flashed. I am up front with my service dept so when I do decide to go the ECUTek route, I'll let them know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are awesome people, and they are gonna be fine with me reflashing ECUTeK. Plus they cant tell unless they hook up the car to their OBD reader thing or whatnot. I dont ever trust using somebody elses maps. I feel completely unsafe doing that. Every car is way different. My turbo civic took about 23 times the amount of fuel that other turbo civics same year, model, and kit took. I would ALWAYS get a custom tune, plus you get a LOT more power out of it.
