Well lets just say I have a friend with a 2000 rs 2.5. Gutted with cams and he takes out m3s on the track. He makes considerably less power than we do. So yeah if we gut the car and get a tune I'm certain we can take out some serious cars.

Ha ha ha - you guys rock! :) Speaking of fastest... I have been talking to Raptor in AU (Mackay MC, Queensland, Australia) about their H6 kit. Its tempting indeed and they have H6s in Australia outfitted with it and tuned via Ecutek. I'm thinking of getting it in a year or two and playing with it. Would be the first 3.6R fitted with it in North America. There is a H6 3.0 Outback supercharged out west... saw some posts on the build (and what a build!) on the Outback forums. Videos and all.

Are Ecutek still in the habit of permanently locking you out of your own ECU?
Obligatory '[URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2008-gh8-238668.html?t=238668"]build thread[/URL]' Increased capacity to 2.7 liters, still turbo, but no longer need spark plugs.

where is this guy located? veryyy interested in doing this!
Check out John's 'Visconti Tuning' FB page https://www.facebook.com/ViscontiTuning (updated) and/or his business site http://www.vtune.us/ (no real updates there but you get his cell #, he rarely answers or returns VMs - ask me how I know, lol).

John works in Westport, CT and Westbury, NY (in collaboration with MRPerformance http://www.mrpbuilt.com/ https://www.facebook.com/mrpbuilt).

That's where John developed the first maps for the 3.6Rs using my car.

Right now, I guess it's safe to say Perscitus has the fastest 3.6R in the world!!!
Thx. Oh yes... Especially in reverse or neutral.
I emailed Raptor a couple of months back, and they mentioned that no one had tried their supercharger on a 3.6. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/turbo-3-6ri-192351.html?highlight=raptor
Yep, this is true. Only 3.0 H6s for now, a few all over the globe. I've been in touch with them as well since I'm going to Australia later this year. I might be the first (fool?) if I pick up their kit. Its v tempting.

Here's a supercharged 3.6r swapped into a 4th gen :)
Yes, seen that sometime ago. Here is a thread from last year of the 3.0 H6 owner from Bulgaria who used the Raptor kit on his car http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3868122&postcount=1 and the channel of the West Coast guy who built up a raptor supercharged H6 in his Outback, even ran E85 in it https://www.youtube.com/user/CARDOCM?feature=watch

I have to agree with you. Although this is my first venture in car modding, I've never been involved in anything where I want to give people money and they want even take it. I'm clearly in the wrong profession!

Yep. John has been ignoring me too. No replies to VMs, emails and a personal message I left with MRPbuilt. I don't think he's doing it on purpose, just busy plus we're not his target for $$$ like you guys have said. GTRs and turbo'ed BRZs is where its at I guess. I can see it though since in both cases the gains are much more impressive, just like a stage II LGT or a race-built WRX/STi or any other force-induced motor with power reserves or power liberating mods. That plus the ppl who own tuned GTRs or turbo'ed BRZs have money to burn, just to smoke all the R8s, AMGs and M-Powers on the road, hang and beat 911s, etc. Whatever works for them I guess.

 

Nonetheless, I still don't get why anyone wouldn't take an easy $150-200. The base tune is there for us, so it can either be applied as-is or quickly (matter of minutes) tuned to a specific 3.6R with unique mods.

Only the base tune took so much R&D.

probably better luck/results with piggyback ecu anyways but much more expensive unfortunately. ecutek needs to make their tuning apps available to all tuners and make a nice simple ap like cobb. Even better than that cobba needs to start supporting more cars nothin special bout making a 40k dollar sti faster . gotta support the underdog.

You really think it only takes a few minutes to adapt an off the shelf map to a different car? It would be pretty irresponsible as a tuner to just toss a map on the car and be done with it. Obviously some driving needs to be done to log and make sure everything is kosher. That could mean going for a drive or hooking the car up to a dyno. Then checking the logs, making changes, going for another drive/dyno pulls, etc. Thats a lot of labor for $150-200, not what I would call "easy"

I would say he probably meant 150 for the tune not counting Dyno time. All cars are different so some thing will need to be tweaked. My previous Dyno times cost me upwards of 4-500 bucks. Albeit I was a stage 3.5 turbo and required a little more tlc.
