I have a fully built 17 STI But my GF has a 2019 WRX CVT She started off completely stock Then got the AP V3 felt a good difference, then she got a Cobb big SF intake and a Cobb catback exhaust just for sound ,it felt okay but it wasn’t as responsive the DAM was dropping ,CVT,s run very rich and their constantly in boost so we decided to get some other things we pulled the trigger on a grimmspeed too mount intercooler and IAG TGV deletes EGR deletes and a grimmspeed electronic boost control solenoid with a pro tune from Paul at YIMI SPORT in SOCAL and the difference was night and day better cooling much more turbo boost with reliability final numbers 280 WHP 280torque . If they had the j -pipe in stock we would of done that also and it would of been a solid 300 at both angles , these mods aren’t only power mods but supporting mods and better then OEM with a J-pipe your reducing back pressure the TMIC your getting better air , equals more boost You can run these mods and keep your numbers still pretty decent , remember it’s the same motor FA20DIT just different transmission and he is absolutely right at 310 to 330 is the max . Your gambling really at any numbers but if your tune is on point you won’t have an issue . When I first asked Paul about tuning this platform he was not hesitant at all he said sure you can’t run power 6speed but it’s the still the same motor . Oh by the way I do like your videos but Cobb did have a stage 2 OTS that just included the J-pipe but they pulled within 6 months because the map was starting to make the CVT slip So obviously stating a pro tune is your best bet not a E tune or EMAIL tune get your car on a DYNO .

so i know this video is a little dated but cobb now offers stage 2 tunes for downpipe for cvt wrx

Most of us are daily driving our CVT’s. I wouldn’t recommend anything other than Stage 1, and maybe some aesthetic mods. Horsepower is nice but the amount you will spend, you would have been better off getting a STI or missing a manual WRX.

Well it was fun while it last wrx cvt just sold it today 😢 and got Lexus is350 sport . I still watch your channel great videos.

As an owner of a CVT myself, this was very helpful. The next upgrade I want to do is the mishimoto trans cooler. I've been trying to get a hold of my dealership if it would void my warranty. Would you know? I know that installing a tune would void the warranty.

Keep the videos coming broseph! I like the stormtrooper, Crystal White Pearl.

need an update for the VB engine!

So Subaru now uses a heavier weight synthetic oil in the CVT and changed the final drive gear to give there cars more lowend torque and maybe, longevity. These changes are within the last 2 years, so who can expound on this and how are Subaru CVTs built today for longevity? 200-400 thousand miles??

Where'd you get that WRX front license plate delete?

I own a CVT civic and I’m considering a CVT wrx as my next daily or if I can afford it a STi is there any reliability issues with these?

How about the spoiler?

Any idea about code p2401?

informative stuff, appreciate it. Ive been looking to add a trans cooler to my car for the past 3 months... actually its been sitting in the box for th past 3 fricking months because around my area, dealers wont sale the HTCVT fluid -_-... and ive tried amazon but it seems they wont ship to hawaii, any ideas you got?

Hey could you clarify if I understand the WRX's CVT properly? Launch control: Performed by stopping, holding brakes, pressing the accelerator, then releasing the breaks; truly continuously variable, optimal power RPM held. Manual drive: Intelligent mode: Truly continuously variable under 40% acceleration, stepped 'gears' above Sport mode: Truly continuously variable when under 30% acceleration, stepped 'gears' above Sport sharp mode: Stepped gear ratios [when stepped 'gears' are invoked, 'up-shifting' is not automatic, however 'down-shifting' is] Standard drive: [??? What happens here? Truly continuously variable transmission set to low RPMs regardless of acceleration?] [using the paddles at any time invokes stepped 'gears' temporarily] This is confusing as fuck. Lol. Even if the above is correct, it doesn't answer all questions. The transmission system is so simple, but it has such a complex computer program on top... Seems to me that a CVT should employ RPM steps instead of this wildly complicated mess of steps designed to reproduce the behavior of gears. It could be as simple as 3 settings- one low RPM setting for economy, one mid for sporty fun, and one high for optimal power. I understand why they'd want the car to have more punch if someone hits the gas, but they could just add a similar temporary adjustment, in this case to drive mode, kicking it into the next one of the three.

I got the 22 wrx cvt and im looking to tune it so far I've seen only the jb4 be used on it but places say they only use cobb platform or ecutek platform but I know that cobb doesnt do cvt unless it was the 21 wrx I'm not sure though

Hey brother I’m new to mods where is a good forum or thread to see what works on my wrx and how to learn about this type of stuff?

i have a 2020 wrx cvt i was planning to do a big intake a j pipe, blow off valve and take it to dyno for tune im not looking for much power i just want it to sound better and maybe some pops or some would that be okay?

I heard the cvt is laggy and shitty is there like any mods to make it more responsive or something

How is my car on this video LMAO @3:37

Is there a tune for WRX CVT in Australia?

Hey i like yours videos.im from seekonk mass.i have a question i put perrin intake,blox muffler delete and cobb accessport stage 1 but my car is running like s*** I don't know what's going on. What do you think I should do.2016 subaru wrx premium with 47,500 miles.any help I appreciate it.thanks...

Is ita really a CVT or is it a DCT?

The dude talk's a lot

whos telling you the cvt can only safely handle 300 whp? Or are you just regurgitating what you read online from some Bozo internet expert
