In this episode of Mighty Car Mods, the boys crack some more power out of the MY09 Subaru Forester XT with a portable flash device. But first they need some supporting mods and some time on the dyno, which surprises them with some unexpected results...

That's 'cos the Forrester was legal to use on the road, therefore has to meet strict noise laws in our country. The S15 isn't. Simple as that.

maybe you should revisit the cold air intake after a ECU tune with it

I wish we could see the benefits of the ECU Flash BEFORE the exhaust change.

@boulderburwell 10 лет назад

There won't be much like maybe 4hp since its stock which 4hp isn't a notocable gain

@Benedocta 10 лет назад

boulderburwell Thats not true. Basically all modern engines have a margin of about 20% that can be gained by chip tuning.

@daarrkstarr 10 лет назад

Benedocta thats incorrect unless ur car has a stock basline turbo whp gain s are normally quite low got a custom ecu for a ford focus 1.6 and that only gained like 4 to 5 bhp not whp and also put a blufinn superchip on my focus st 57 plate and that gained 65 from a plug and play went from 225 to 280 or 290

@daarrkstarr 10 лет назад

what i brought it brand new from there website ? i didnt buy a 2nd hand ecu flash

@thomasphillips885 10 лет назад

@TheDriftingStig 9 лет назад

Can you use the flash tuning device on a car that doesn't have turbo? I know it's meant to adjust the tuning, but they didn't say if it's exclusively for cars with turbos.

@JeffSereno 9 лет назад

TheFutureEVH Don't know about the device used in the video, but you can certainly flash non-turbo Subaru's as well, but only those with flashable ECU's. A lot of N/A Subaru's older than 2007 are fixed ROM's that would require a replacement or interceptor ECU to customise. I achieved a 10% improvement in torque and power with no further hardware mods (ie: 100% stock setup) on my 2008 Subaru Liberty via flash tuning. There is a noticeable seat-of-the-pants difference and the overall driveability and fuel efficiency has improved a lot. Well worth it - definitely not something that is only for turbo cars.

@Kalisto2002 9 лет назад

Jeff Sereno I have an 02, 02-07 can all be flash tuned via Open Source tuning IE Tactrix + rom raider + ecuflash or via cobb accessport.

@JeffSereno 9 лет назад

Kalisto San Turbo Subaru's, yes. Most of the N/A range older than 2007, no.

@TheBlackWaltz 9 лет назад

TheFutureEVH You can reflash NA cars, but usually you only see a 4-8 kw increase instead of the 30 you see here.

@blainy-o93 9 лет назад

@jeffman3 11 лет назад

Remember that they're talking about power at the wheels; in an AWD car it is safe to assume as much as 30% loss through the drivetrain, in the modern high-efficiency Subarus they have gotten it as low as about 20% loss. Taking that into consideration, they're making some pretty healthy power.

Great Video. I have a modded '05 GTO (Monaro). I tried a handheld initially, but I couldn't tune it precisely. I use a lap top with GM software. I can tune it from the passenger seat while it's being driven. WOT is easy to tune for, give it enough fuel & timing to keep the A/F happy. It's the mid range where the car spends most of it's life that's important. You where wise to include a higher flow cat converter. It can be a huge bottle neck.

@keithbrettell2058 11 лет назад

I guess that's just one of the differences between the two countries I guess ie. trunk vs boot or hood vs bonnet. If you look at any advertising in Canada about cars they use a mix of metric and standard measure. Engine size is measured in litres vs cubic inches and we talk in HP instead of KW's. I was actually born before Canada adopted the metric system.

@ghostpeel 11 лет назад

What? How? A RU-vid discussion that came to a reasonable conclusion? And without any insults? I'm staggered.

@allwheeldrive1 11 лет назад

The reason why is that a mild tune wont effect power from the intake. They are designed to be efficient and free flowing. Exhausts are a little restrictive stock to reduce emissions and also weigh a lot because of it.

@tepperpepper1047 10 лет назад

That sunroof is awesome

@ytxstream 12 лет назад

95 is now standard in germany but 98 is available in every gas station, the two biggest chains (shell and aral) also have 100 and 102 octane fuel available

@alexgeorge699 11 лет назад

yeah, i test drove one the other day and I have to agree. At least the power delivery is very linear, but the real power is all up high. the engine characteristics remind me a lot of my integra.

@7MpoweredSUPRA 12 лет назад

Get a holley EFI conversion, or a blow through carb, blower and adapter plate. Then start tuning. Naturally the more power you want, the more supporting modifications will have to be made.

@iainriordon550 9 лет назад

@ChickenAnonymous 12 лет назад

Torque is the turning effort of an engine. Revs is the revolutions per minute

@hitechmufflers 11 лет назад

By the time the exhaust gasses have reached the Y-Pipe, they have cooled sufficiently to not need such a large diameter pipe. This helps to clear the exhaust quicker and increases low-down torque.

@danielchoi2345 9 лет назад

@squirlybmx 12 лет назад

Yes but don't expect huge gains. If you get a quality exhaust with larger piping it will free up the flow and you'll gain power.

@SC2Barbarian 11 лет назад

Stock air filters don't restrict the flow very much.... Stock Exhausts do, to keep emissions and noise very low. Oh and they actually tune the intake section, but they use turbos for doing it

@iRJRx 12 лет назад

@PanditaP 12 лет назад

wow that flash thingy is sick.

@slyboots2345 10 лет назад

Good idea to reflash, but a custom tune with a professional tuner is still the best option. Uploading pre-made maps is like buying suits from a general store. They'll fit decently well on you, but not great. Using a custom tuner to adjust individuals values in your car's ECU is like getting that same suit tailored and custom fit to your proportions. Just like a person, each car is unique, and each climate is unique. A tuner takes all these into consideration and provides a tune which is tailored to your car, environment, and modifications.

@NotFinalTillVinyl 11 лет назад

95 is a rare find out here in AB, I've only found 2-3 gas stations that have it. Though the first comment to my post explained very nicely why our octane numbers seem lower, they are based off of a different scale and our 87 octane is equal to like 95 in germany. Which I could then take to assume even if my car says premium 91+ only, if it's based off of European numbers I could fill it with regular and do no harm =P

@JuYoungAllStar 11 лет назад

there have been a lot of proven gains on a tuned turbo car with intake, check out cobb tuning with mazdaspeed 3's and mazdaspeed 6's.

@alexgeorge699 11 лет назад

yeah, I understand the benefits of the boxer, I just think it results in generally four cylinders that are generally not as refined as their inline four competition (like say in an S2000). That being said, the engine in the FR-S is pretty refined for a boxer.

@smumm 11 лет назад

You mean one of the 5 that were ever sold in Australia, or of the the 424 that were ever produced (making it one of the most rare Subarus ever)? The motor in the Moogaru is fairly similar to the STI so there really is no need to swap it out, just add bolt-ons.
