    It’s not great but be careful what you get. The down pipe makes a big difference to sound and what sounds good before can get loud and drone.  With the auto that maybe really bad. 
     

    the intake actually seems to make good gains looking at dyno plot. Maybe 5-7 wkw. 

     

    Ah yeah thanks I dont actually want any noise especially being auto what would you or anyone recommend as far as getting more power but being sleeper quiet?

    Hey team got a 2010 STI A-line and are wanting to get it tuned - will do a downpipe and fuel pump first 

     

    My Main question is  who in Chch would be best to tune it - Id rather use Possum bourne but being in Nelson its a bit impracticable to take it up there

     

    I was looking at Torque Performance maybe?

     

    On a second note anyone tuned an A-line before?

    Help on BE5 Legacy Engine Replacement

    in Legacy & Outback

    Posted

    Hi Team - I am assisting my mate who has a 2002 Legacy B4 twin turbo manual with a blown bottom end

     

    He is looking to just drop another replacement engine in the same - but having a hard time finding the right engine

     

    https://www.trademe.co.nz/2703915890 - would this be correct? how do i make sure its the right version? the company says its out of a manual but unsure what year but says it has the pink injectors

     

    Appreciate the help

    Agreed with the 100 octane - I bought a twin turbo BE5 Legacy a while back it had been running on 95 and as expected it was pinging its nuts off

     

    After a couple of tanks of 100 she was perfect and much more economical too

    Modifying SH5 Forester

    Does anyone here have experience modifying an SH5 Forester? Particularly a 2.0XT?

     

    Mine is bone stock and I don't even know where to begin.. exhaust, suspension, intake, tuning. I'm not overly sure how accustomed they are to modifications. 

     

     

     

    Only Forester I ever has was an STI Forester which was very happy to be tuned however before doing anything I would highly recommend some decent quality rubber, not only safer but much more fun on the corners when you aren't under steering everywhere!

     

    After that I would look at a turbo back exhaust fuel pump and a tune

     

    Thats just my 2 cents..

    Does the A-Line use 5x100 or 5x114 wheel bolt spacing? I've got a set of old 5x100 ones in TGA that I could possibly get to Rotorua reasonably quickly as we're doing heaps of work over there right now.

     

    A-line is 5x114

    SH Forester offroad questions

    Hey team,

    Looking at selling my Legacy this year and moving on to an SH Fozzy, with the intention of doing an overland sort of build (mild lift, A/T tyres, roof tent etc.) to get out and about and do some exploring and a few trails.

    I've recently moved to Auckland and due to having to deal with traffic now I'll be leaning towards getting an automatic XS, purely for the comfort factor. 

    Basically what I want to know is, has anyone with experience taking an N/A Forester offroad noticed a difference in capability compared to an XT? Outright speed isn't as much of an issue as I'll be getting a bike as well for when I need to scratch that itch, more concerned about getting places. 

    It'll be my first dive into the Forester world as well, is there anything in particular to look at when buying other than the standard Subie things?

     

    Cheeers for any help!!

     

    Hey mate I have an old 99 SF forester that I do a bit of off-roading in mines an NA Manual, I chose the manual as it had the hi/lo ratio

     

    Id have to say its VERY impressive off road only thing that limits mine is its not lifted at all so ground clearance is sometimes an issue

     

    Occasionally I find a bit more power would be great especially on some steep muddy/rocky slopes

     

    In some ways an auto might actually be better off road as well as the hi/lo range isn't actually very low... 

     

    if your going for an auto SH series i would probably get the XT just for that extra power..

     

    Hope this helps

    99% of dyno operators have a frankly bewildering disclaimer that basically says they could pull the head off your motor and squeeze out a giant f***ing turd inside your block and it wouldn't be their fault. For a fairly expensive "premium" service they somehow get away with murder, imagine if you took your car to a panelbeater and their disclaimer was like "we may completely ruin your paint and dent all of your panels". Although on the other hand, there's probably too much risk of shed-built piles of s*** exploding and then being blamed on the tuner.

     

    Totally agree here although thankfully I haven't had my vehicle blown up on a dyno I can confirm their disclaimer is bs
