ericem Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 i do that but its still very tight the extra 1/16" helps without me having to really squeeze it out. Maybe your rail is a TINY bit different on your car. Unless my motor mounts are sagging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amp583 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I have a stock LGT08 with KN Intake - no other mods other than cosmetic, small for right now until my warranty runs out. I do plan on swapping out my up/down pipe, upgrading turbo, etc one day but for the next year or 2, i'll be staying stock. Call me paranoid or just a baby. I'd like to get into ecu tuning but I'm not sure whats best - should i buy a Cobb AP, go tactrix and get an infamous tune, etc? I don't mind spending money but i also don't want to pay for more than i need. I'm fairly technical so doing an open source tune isn't a problem. I know theres probably many threads on lgt for this - pardon yet another one. thanks.

Mega Users seabass07 Posted May 25, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted May 25, 2012 Fuel trims are still pretty bad. Lots of knock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I have checked very very hard there is deefinitely no issues intake wise just not 100% sure about the bpv and I just replaced the turbo inlet and pcv. Spark plugs were done a few months ago with oem's. MAF sensor looked pretty clean but the IAT on the maf always get dirty. I am thinking about tossing the k & n and getting a dry panel filter or a intake. If I get a intake than I will just get the turbosmart bpv since it should have some sound. Â I forgot to go around with the ppm tester to find exhaust leaks, but the car is pretty quiet. It does sound like I get a different spooling sound when I get on the gas a certain way. It seems like it will pull to redline better when I ease into the boost than stomp on it vs just flooring it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 compression issue will cause rich adjustments all around, and sometimes scattered knock from oil. doesn't hurt though to test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Shit shit shit I have a feeling im going to find low compression. Been still using a noticeable amount of oil too. Â Going to look into options. Was going to just get a new shortblock but you still managed to blow a brand new shortblock (although i probably won't run anything larger than a vf52 ever).

ericem Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 would you say the shortblock will fit in my trunk ? I'm going to grab it somewhere in the states or get it shipped to place in buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 it does. the block all boxed up on its 4x2 wooden stilts fits in the trunk nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericem Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Subaru probably designed it to sit perfectly in the sedan trunks from 89-09. 10+ sedans can hold 2 shortblocks in the trunk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp583 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Thanks. I bought the car with a KN so im not sure if the previous owner had it tuned or not - my guess is no. As far as tune goes im guessing infamous tunes are endorsed widely? Also, does tactrix still sell an actual cable too? I'm only seeing the one thats a little nub with SD card. I almost prefer one thats connected directly to my macbook.  btw thanks for your help - i see your comments/advice littered through the tuning thread - its appreciated by the newbs.  tactrix and OS tune. btw you're suppose to be tuned when using a k&n typhoon....

UTwrestler22 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 What kind of horsepower gains should i see by going stage 1. You can tune the turbo to a higher psi right? How does that all work? So how much horses at stage one with higher psi going to the turbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yfarmeaahka Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I don't really know anything about tuning and I recently bought an 06 LGT about a year ago and I was told it has been dyno tuned by Travis @ Snail Performance - flashed, no accessport conservative tune- 91 octane. I get the 91 octane part but what exactly does "flashed, no accessport" mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
