XtaC Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Was looking for doing something similar to my 2.5 NA as I too have put alot of time and energy into the stereo, speakers, and other aesthetics. Thank you for being brave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEE-OTTO Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Why would you think that an impreza map of the same year would be safer then a legacy map? Nothing to do with "safe" simply the fact that more 4EAT Imprezas have been modified than 4EAT Legacy 2.5is. same engine and gearbox so he could look to a modified Impreza map to get an idea.

CDN 2.5i Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 The guy doing my tuning said he was going to post it, but I haven't seen it yet. Maybe I should. Yah, you should post it up if you can. It's one of our local guys, dschultz, who has been doing lots (maybe all?) of the new Subaru definitions on Romraider - he does excellent work. The 'experimental' definition he released for mine worked great for my tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Good deal. I posted it a couple days ago.. Hopefully he or someone can take a look at it. '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjweb Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Look for a Impreza 4EAT map of the same year that may help you get started and it will be a lot safer than stock ECU with a SC Nothing to do with "safe" simply the fact that more 4EAT Imprezas have been modified than 4EAT Legacy 2.5is. same engine and gearbox so he could look to a modified Impreza map to get an idea. That's like saying 5th gens should use impreza maps too. You make no sense. Maybe you should leave the tuning advice to the tuners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN 2.5i Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Good deal. I posted it a couple days ago.. Hopefully he or someone can take a look at it. under username sclegacy08? i think it should be a .hex file, not bin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Thats me. The .bin file is all I could get. I read the ecu with ecuflash and it gave me the option to save or create definition. So I saved and that's what I got. I looked through some other definition requests and there were a few .bin files with results. I dunno Another big issue.. I ran out of zip ties..

GEE-OTTO Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 That's like saying 5th gens should use impreza maps too. You make no sense. Maybe you should leave the tuning advice to the tuners Never mind the fact that I was one of the first 2.5i Legacys tuned and had to reference Impreza maps until my ECU got define, no I have no idea what Im talking about. Anyhow, once your ECU is posted it shouldnt take long, you ever notice how the longest part of most builds F/I or N/A is the tune ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Yeah. I'm hoping it won't take tooooo long..I'm itching to drive this thing. '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomberlegacy Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Today I got the intercooler water pump primed and running like it should, made sure everything was good to go and installed the bumper. Almost done! Relay for the water pump, just above the washer fluid reservoir. http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b514/sclegacy08/2012-11-03130535.jpg Intake air filter http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b514/sclegacy08/2012-11-03130605.jpg bumper on! http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b514/sclegacy08/2012-11-03182037.jpg http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b514/sclegacy08/2012-11-03182026.jpg '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haight 05LGT Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 The brand is SAAS..an Australian company. You should consider changing out the intake tube...That one looks like a dryer vent hose and will create a bit of friction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bomberlegacy Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 That is 3.5" aircraft intake/heater duct. It is two ply so pretty smooth on the inside. Should be fine.

GEE-OTTO Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 That is 3.5" aircraft intake/heater duct. It is two ply so pretty smooth on the inside. Should be fine. Use the ignore list Secondly, like the first sane response, if that intake is creating downstream turbulence it could wreak havoc when trying to get the tune dialed in right. If the inside isn't perfectly smooth I would make the fender extension from a straight piece of 3.5" aluminum tubing and whatever degree angle piece needed to mate to the SC.

LosAngelesLGT Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Why are 2.5gt guys trying to give advice here? I'm here for the yucks of a 10psi e85 2.5i that can whup on any other 2.5i. Can't wait to see what the torque is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE-OTTO Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 MOAR PROGRESS!!!!!! Also that water pump relay (I assume) did you caulk it with silicone to weatherproof it or to hold everything together for the miles to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Weatherproof. It was meant to be a press in sealed relay but I obviously didn't have a place for that.. The plugs went on snug, I just didn't want corrosion '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberlegacy Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 My ECU doesn't inherit from earlier versions, so a totally new definition will need to be created. Yay this could take a while. That is all I lack. '08 Legacy 2.5i - hybrid intake - delta 1000 - E85 - magnaflow exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
