Рет қаралды 2,000,551
12 жыл бұрынIn 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.

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 жыл бұрын
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.

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

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.

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.

should definitely tune after installing a CAI, Im not saying youll get AWESOME gains but a lot more than what your showing. As shown in you ECUFlash with the forester, then engine will compensate for the mods to try and keep the hp at its most stock levels. A lot more technicality behind it but thats the jest of it. Love the videos by the way
