BMA44 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 My old man has a 2010 outback 3.6r. Any idea if this would work for his car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Yep, sure would. He would need some tweaks applied here and there to the maps developed on my car (because racecar, because CBE, 89/93 tune). Essentially the same exercise Rhett is going through in NC: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4370628&postcount=24 We're going to have an 87 map developed too sometime in the near future so that might be a good place for him to start. Especially if he wants to continue to fill up with 87 (as am I, lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItalianLegacy Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 240whp dude not bad at all not much drivetrain loss either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eckseleven Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Yep. I think the most we managed to get with this tune (after the car cooled down from all the heat-soak) was 240whp @ 5400RPM. I guess that's more or less Stage 1 LGT territory, or at least stock WRX/Sti territory. Depends on what dyno numbers you want to believe. LGT and WRX should be pretty darn close stock considering they have the same crank HP. Stupid dynos can read all over the place though. Typically you see 240 ish stock but then there are the odd balls like the dyno my car was on that stated 270 something stock. At then end of the day, it's just the delta that matters. Looks like you have a nice bump throughout the powerband. As for the octane, If you have 93 readily available, I'd just get tuned with that and get the most out of the car that's possible. Yeah it hurts the wallet a bit at the pump, but you gotta pay to play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Indeed, all about the relative delta. Thanks for the props! I've been dyno tuning cars in Germany/Poland, France/Spain since 1997. Very happy with the gains thus far. For those who asked about MPGs, after one tankful of mixed driving (I'd say 80% city) I'm seeing a 2-3 MPG dip. Could be just the pedal to the metal effect, lol still reasonable. I will see more when I drive upstate later this month. Pre-tune I averaged 30-32 MPGs for all highway miles. I'm not too worried about MPGs at all, just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Any idea what your unofficial 0-60 time is with the tune? Do you think you are in the sub 6-sec. category at this point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hard to say Rhett, good question. Butt dyno would say likely yes (then again it usually says 'yes! racecar' to almost every performance mod) - probably just barely sub 6-secs. I'll time a few runs with a phone app and GPS this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Thanks Perscitus. Anything below 6-sec. would be a really good gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Three quick (highly unscientific) runs brought to you by cell phone timer and Tempes GTR app: http://www.tempes.com/GTR.html I'm seeing 5.61, 5.52, 5.66 for a rounded up avg. result of 5.6 secs Not too shabby, 'racecar' powha!

DeltaSniper Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 If accurate, those numbers are slightly slower than stock LGT 0-60 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 If accurate, those numbers are slightly slower than stock LGT 0-60 times.Yep, indeed. Thx Delta. I clocked two more with slightly better times: 5.44 and 5.49. Still stock LGT territory which is ok with me Full tank of gas, extra weight of the H6, plus my sorry behind adding 220 lbs to the curb weight lol.

Rhett Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 That's huge! If the numbers are anywhere near accurate, that's at least 1 second better than stock. That's pretty major in my book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Hey Pers, I know you may be getting tired of all the questions, but how's she running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Never tired. Running Purrrfect. I've tried both 89 and 93 tanks now. Runs just fine on both. No backfire, no knock (as far as I can tell). MPG has shot up again too, 24/25MPG mixed driving. Met up with Railkill (Chris) this past Monday and he saw my little beast first hand. Liked it on FB and started to follow it on Twitter (lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I made contact with John on Facebook and he said the tune would be $150 when it was ready. Any idea when that may be? I asked but never heard back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschmelcke Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I am also awaiting his response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Thx guys. Sounds good. Supposedly (MRPleaks, lol) he just got home from yet another cross-US trip. The 89/93 tune is done. When John has more time and I've got another $150 to shell out on more dyno time, we'll develop a 87 map. Worthy-cause-donations much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sschmelcke Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 im 40 min away and offered to come down next week. im trying my best to get out of work but hes not playing along. i really dont wanna work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 I've had the same experience. He's a character for sure. MRP is telling me he's going to be @ their shop tomorrow. I'm planning to stop by before 1-2PM. If he's working his normal CT->NY schedule, that's the time he gets there and then stays tuning cars late into the night. When we did the default map for our cars, John was 'done' with my car at 9PM AND still had 2-3 cars to go. I bet he was there until 11-midnight.

Rhett Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Talked to a ecutek tuner on Friday in NC that has been in touch with John about this tune. According to him, John will ultimately need our ECM number in order to proceed properly with the tune. He said this was necessary even if our cars had the same engine. Apparantly, there could slight variations between the trims (limited, premium, base models). I guess I'll go ahead and get that number while I wait to her back from John.
