Tuning Results - 2007 Legacy GT (Auto) - Torque Performance

[tj]

Hi everyone just thought I would share this. Have had my Leggy GT for 6 months .. previously had the 3.0 ltr Gen 3 RS30 Legacy which I owned for about 6 years ..

Anyways had a performance tune at Torque Performance yesterday. According to the Dyno Graph 137.3KW (atw) before to 152.0KW after the tune. Car is completely stock no other mods. Initial impressions are good, power seems to be more linear and feels like it is coming on quicker and gear changes seem smoother. I think economy will improve as well judging by the tripmeter. Dave @ TP thinks should see around 10% improvement. Will update when have a few more kms under the belt.

They currently have a special on so got it done for $750 .. think it is usually $1200. Overall very happy with the service and the result.

Thanks for the info 2.0 or 2.5L? 10% improvement on economy would be nice, be sure to report back on the actual improvements when it's been long enough to work out!

No worries at all ;D ... its the 2.0 ltr facelift model, just before they switched to the 2.5, I guess. Will let you know what kind of kms after a few fills. Currently average 10l per 100km .. pretty much get just over 500km before fuel light comes on then theres probably another 100km or so till its nearly empty. Thats a mix of urban running ... highway, street, not much inner city ... open road trips cruising 8.5l per 100km ..

Solid gain, what gas are you running?

[tj]

Thanks .. I run BP98

That's pretty good economy, I get more like 12L/100km but then that's 90% suburban driving. Any time I do get on the motorway the computer reading for economy improves a bit haha.

Mine would probably look like the that I have a round trip commute for work of about 40km per day .. a good part of it on the highway heading out from town so that probably helps average it down a bit ..

Isn't that obvious lol?

Yup, 2.0 non turbo Subbies are somewhat less inspiring!

Hi - just have a few questions... is your car NZ new or Japper? Was it adjustment to the ECU and is it permanent, i.e. you won't lose the tune if you disconnect the battery? Do you know if the autos have less power than the manuals in factory spec? I guess it's harder to tell in an auto but does the car feel torquier down low now? I've got a facelift GT manual, your tune sounds good especially if it can deal to the turbo lag!

[Guest]

Autos do have 15kw less than the manuals - torque is the same though.

Is yours the facelift 2.0? The 2.5's have less power from the factory...

Its NZ new 2.0 ltr, I would not think you would lose the tune if you disconnect the battery but don't know for sure. I know it can be reset to the factory tune. The car is definitely torquier down lower as graph suggests it should be .. and in the real world it is .. after nearly a week of driving happy definitely happy with results and dont regret decision. I didn't notice heaps of lag in the auto beforehand, but it is definitely snappier now.
