Picking up the Legacy GT this week. Should be motor swapped and ready to go by mid October. Fred beans Nissan/Subaru has the best pricing ever. Honestly I have never had a less than amazing encounter with Jomer here on the forum. Dude is always helpful and always has had the best pricing.

Found out something neat today after an hour long conversation with Frank Hill (Hill's Garage)'s wife.

If you are running Uprev software and if you take the car over 400whp, you absolutely must buy an upgraded MAF sensor ($350 shipped from Uprev) or the car will forever run lean.
Also, just lol at Hill's pricing. Holy christ are they expensive.

I asked out of curiosity and here's what they quoted me for a custom tune:
-$1050 for tune (5 maps)
-$60 shop processing fee which you can cut in half by paying cash/check

and whats the subaru for??

because supercharged race car.:p

No you don't. Larger intake piping will resolve that. Bump from 2.5 to 2.75 or even 3" will make stock sensors good for 600+ whp. Hell I'm getting 450whp ish on stock 2.5"

DD. Will also be swapping my turbo kit into it for 350-400awhp and going TT efr turbos on the Z.

cuz you're a baus!:icon17:

the addiction will never end..haha..:rofl2:

Also because EcuTek Haha. I'm jumping to 2.75" this winter.

very nice sir... man, I really wanted to check out your Z.. damn it. Fricken missed opportunity.

Hill's disagrees with you and says that going to 3" piping won't do anything other than make the car louder (which isn't a bad thing mind you).

I asked that very question. Hill's has been doing this for a looooong time.
It may be a peculiarity with the Uprev SW specifically. I don't know but they said that in almost all cases where people are running Uprev and are having issues making boost, the problem is that sensor.

Edit: By the way, your buddy James at RT Tuning agrees with me - well, with Hill's anyway.

hmm well im not sure how all of the turbo guys are running 500+ without error. I have no issue making boost? I know John said I was close to maxing mine with my current 2.5" so if I upgrade to 2.75" and the readouts are better its obvious that it does infact effect it. Which I have read that it does. That is why gtm ran 3" piping on their 1000hp car.

I thought AAM did the 3" version for their turbo builds but I don't see that on their website anymore. I'm only seeing the 2.5". I'm not saying this for one side or the other just adding information to the conversation.

Im not sure what they used. Their TT kit is still in development as far as I know. But look at GTMs MHI kit. The kit makes 500+ no maf upgrade and the intake piping is massive compared to stock. Wonder why that is :p


Like I said I am around 420-460whp now with my boost leak fixed and have zero problems. I do need a new AFR sensor though. It every once in a while it bugs out and decides to pull rich numbers. Cleaning it the other week helped a lot as it was staying rich no matter what. so maybe I just didn't clean it good enough...not sure.

It's unique to supercharger applications apparently. Check it out.

Cody, dont you just looove the naysayers??:roflpuke2:

Ah SC only...that is very interesting.

Regardless....

my point remains the same. larger piping mean higher max out point. So even if you go for more you can bump to 3" and it wouldn't be a big deal to do. Hell might cost you $100-150 in materials?

In all seriousness though, Im gonna buy a kit, and I'll pay you to help me install it.

Eh I guess. I enjoy spreading info and collaboration of ideas and points of view. Yaysayers, naysayers, they all make me happy I suppose.lol

Let me know when. Pat was already making stuff in autocad/solidworks though so we could always custom some ****...in this case a kit would be cheaper though.

Also we have innovative motorworks right down the road (5miles) and they do a lot of Honda tuning.

Oh hai mister im too busy to come to the meet right now :hello:

:roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

You're a man of honor, if I got the kit, I think we could seriously knock it out in a weekend, I would think.

Look at that, the MAZOC president...:icon17:

:hello::hello::hello: Steve.

:icon17:

Hey buddy! Its been pretty quiet around these here parts..

I think so. Pat and I would just pull long hours Friday and Saturday to ensure its completion. Would be a good time. You could always come up for the LGT or the TT Z project if you are in serious need for shenanigans haha.

hahaha.. you just want an extra set of "know how" hands on the project... hahaha..:rofl2::rofl2::rofl2: Its all good brother, I'd have no problem helping out, and besides the 3 of us get sh1t done!

I just like to have people hang out to chat with while I work. Makes it more entertaining that way. I will def have a lot going on in spring though. Not sure how soon the LGT will have the upgrades though...if I go for 300+ the block needs rebuilt...also if im taking stuff off the Z I need another 5k to spend on new parts for the Z. considering the turbos alone are $3260.

I hear ya on that, it sounds like we both need to start saving up some cash.. haha.

Thats it, I'm going out and buying a Go Pro today.

thats awesome, he saved that kittens life.. how cool was that?

can't find the article now, read yesterday the kitten died shortly thereafter...

oh no, did it?:mad:

someone posted and started the rumor in a reddit thread that it died but it has not been confirmed yet.

Even if it didn't make it, Go Pro scored major points with consumers around the world with that video. Great PR.

Yeah it was a cool camera ad video, me being an animal person hope the kitten made it more than the functionality of the camera.

What's goin' on in this thread?
