2007/2008 Legacy GT AccessPORT Updates...

[Gator GT]

Legacys....the bastard children of the tuning world.

[a.lim]

even if we got enough people to get cobbs attention i wonder how long it'd take for cobb to develop one :lol:

[Richard B.]

kinda ironic if you ask me.


manual folk claim that the auto isn't sporty can't shift your own gears etc...

but you guys are asking for a launch control?

just saying.

[camber]

Well.....

Launch control does allow manual cars to develop boost from a dead stop. I think that is one of the most important features. It's not like you don't still have to use the clutch.

It seems like they are caying the logic for the new CANbus ECUs changed. My guess is that it will come sooner or later with STI ans WRX now using a similar ECU to the 07/08 LGTs.

[dr_sharp]

It was my understanding that with launch control you can just drop the clutch? I could be wrong...

[Christian.]

We have updated our 07 & 08 LGTA calibrations to allow the vehicle to achieve the boost targets when driving in colder ambient temperatures. Table changes have also been made to limit the fuel cut function that occurs when the engine RPM hit the Rev Limiter. The 2007 LGTA calibrations and Map Notes (http://www.accessecu.com/accessport/subaru/new/07LGTMaps.html) and the 2008 LGTA calibrations and Map Notes (http://www.accessecu.com/accessport/subaru/new/08LGTMaps.html) are uploaded and ready for you all to download. Please let me know what you think of these latest calibrations by replying to this link on our forums.

Thanks,
Christian.

do you have an update for the 5eat's regarding the rev boost resume issue? i'm talking about the 1-2 shift issue under hard acceleration. i'm dumping my ecutek tune for the AP on saturday. i don't want to run into any issues

thanks, mike

Christian,

I am wondering out of curiosity if you changed anything in the cold start procedure. In all the cars I have had, the cold start procedure dumps lots of fuel to improve drivability until the car is adequately warm.

I realize this is not performance related, but my subaru seems to continue to dump fuel for an insane amount of time in cold weather. Maybe I have a sensor issue, maybe it is just what subaru wanted, but it continues to read really low gas milage on the computer until my temp needle has been at normal operating temps for about ten to fifteen minutes of driving.

Just curious as to whether that is something peculiar to Subaru maps that you noticed and considered changing to improve fuel milage.

Thanks

This is a normal calibration procedure used by all MFGs. They use excess fuel (higher EGTs for heat) to help warm up the motor and the catalytic converter. This is something that I am sure has been optimized for emissions purposes so I doubt we will want to modify those settings. This is most likely used in order to help the engine achieve a optimal coolant temperature and to help flare up the catalyst sooner.

That is exactly one of the issues that was addressed with the v1.01 calibrations. ;) Enjoy!

Take care,
Christian.

[hammerhead]

thank you.

[hammerhead]

i'm a full stage 2.5 5eat car i.e. cobb tbe(cat-less) header, tmic, and cai. do you have an updated map for my needs? i will be getting protuned when my tuner has an open slot.

[Zimm]

Does anyone know if anyone is working on remapping the throttle maps? I have been having a problem with the throttle map for "S" mode. I have stalled the car twice now as it seems you need to provide a large amount of pedal travel to get power to get started.

What would be nice is a throttle map that doesn't vary with RPM. I think it would make the throttle response much more predictable.

[02BlkRex]

...it seems you need to provide a large amount of pedal travel to get power to get started.

+1. Seems like with more torque this wouldn't be the case...

Am I right in reading that page as the 1.01 map only being for AT cars?

[han]

Yes. 2007 LGT(A).

[hayasa]

Why the difference in the SpecB and the regular manual? I thought the only performance differences were related to the struts and rear LSD.

[c_wraith]

As of '07, the Spec B has a 6-speed manual. Since some of the map data is based on the current gear... The 6-speed needs a couple more tables, I assume.

[g0ndor]

hey, c_wraith,
have u had a chance to test your new calibration map for cobb yet?
let us know how it goes. tia.

Is the Spec B also the only one with the SI drive?

[02BlkRex]

No, '07 and up have SI Drive.

Haven't got it yet, but that's as likely to be my email as anything else. :)

I wouldn't have had a chance to test it out yet anyway... Either late tonight, or sometime tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.

[CA08LGT]

No, '07 and up have SI Drive.

Yeah, who is in your avatar? My goodness!

[hammerhead]

my mom. she's a milf

[edkwon]

like he said all 07 model year and current have SI drive, therefore the 06 Spec B lacks SI drive like all 06 models. Please be specific about MY when you ask questions about Spec Bs.

[zeroryde]

that makes sense... I was wondering the same thing until I remember tables are also gear related.

i can't download the new revision. windows wont recognize the publisher. any help on this? i'm no computer wiz

tell me who the chick is and i'll help you.

so i popped a p2096 today, its the first time i've really driven the car since i loaded up my AP (stg2 93) 2 weeks ago. shouldnt this be one of the codes that the AP defeats?

[Christian.]

Are you using a downpipe with a high-flow catalytic converter? Do you have a MIL Eliminator installed?

Christian.

[wrx034me]

sorry, i should have given more info

i have a shorty DP, stock cat, and a catback exhaust. i do have the sparkplug antifoulers installed from before the AP (which didnt work on my 08 like it did on my 05) light came on cruising low rpm low load today,

thank you,
chris

EDIT: gfb bov set to 50/50. perrin panelfilter, TMIC, cobb crank pulley all of my hardware sans the AP is carry over from my 05lgt

Those anti-foul devices appear to be what is causing this code to come up on the older vehicles. I highly suggest you remove the device. When possible, please remove the spark plug anti-foulers, reset the ECU, then let me know if that code pulls up again.

Take care,
Christian.
