ebo03 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 No intake for the 5th gens yet. There are a few panel filters that are probably not worth getting. KS Tech is currently designing one for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't waste your money. A panel filter at most. Don't get a BOV either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajamils Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 since there are no maps available, what should be my first mod to experience some gains in torque/hp? Any benefit of putting in a K&N filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Contact EFI Logics about getting a stage 1 map if you can't wait on Cobb to release their's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajamils Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Since there is no Access port specifically for 2011 model, can I just get the one for 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I believe so otherwise EFI would not be advertising to contact them for a stage 1 map. Maybe when you contact them you could ask them that as well...just a thought. Read their posts on this page: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2011-legacy-gt-stage-1-calibration-efi-logics-161341p3.html You actually posted in the middle of the two posts you should read very closely.

ebo03 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Don't bother. I have to ask, why are you so obsessed with an intake? Do you just want more turbo noise? Are you coming from another car that an intake was very beneficial on? Go to EFI Logics dyno database and see the results. One 2010 was tuned with a K&N filter at stage 1. All the others have used the OEM airbox and you'll see that the car with the K&N filter is in the middle of the pack. Some cars made more power, some made less. There are probably no gains associated with the use of the filter. When you contact them about getting a stage 1 map you should also ask Pete or Chris his thoughts on the K&N. They have first hand knowledge so call them at 203.748.1115. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first turbo car so I'm not sure what advantage an intake will have. I came from a 2004 Accord Coupe and I had Injen CAI on it and I did notice a significant increase in response and torque with CAI compared to stock air box.

ebo03 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Ok that makes sense then. You probably also didn't have to do any tuning for the intake did you? The stock airbox is not restrictive on these cars like it was on the previous Legacy and WRX/STIs. A cold air intake requires tuning on those cars for safety and to see any gains. If you really have $50 burning a hole in your pocket my advice is to buy some bushings to firm up the rear diff or transmission area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posed this few days back and I was told that there are no bushing for our cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 For the shifter you can get transmission cross member bushings. Whiteline, Kartboy, and TurninConcepts all make them. I just ordered the Whiteline part KDT901, it's called the Positive Shift Kit. They're pretty much the same just depends on if you want yellow (Whiteline), black (Kartboy), or cherry blossom red (TiC). A 5-speed (yes, five-speed) Group N transmission mount will fit. Our trans is pretty much the 5-speed from the WRX with an extra gear. And for the rear diff, try Whiteline rear diff inserts. Part KDT903. I just ordered these three items but I won't get a chance to install them for a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I already have Subaru STS, will it make a significant different in shifting? A 5-speed (yes, five-speed) Group N transmission mount will fit. Our trans is pretty much the 5-speed from the WRX with an extra gear. Do you know the part number for it? Also, what does this mount do? And for the rear diff, try Whiteline rear diff inserts. Part KDT903. This is for improving handling? Now the most important part, how difficult are these parts to install? My experience with modding cars only includes installation of CAI in Accord and a carputer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebo03 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 All parts can be installed with basic hand tools...wrenches, ratchet & sockets, pry bar will probably be useful on the rear diff inserts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
