dookie Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 The spacers are only needed in two cases... http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?p=5192314 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT_36R Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I got the headers put in. The spacers were installed. For some reason there was still bit of rubbing on the sway bar in some situations. This was causing some knocking on starts and vibrations in the chassis sometimes when stopped or slowing. The installer had to make a small divot in each header were the rubbing was occurring. After that, it runs AWESOME !!!! Thumbs up to Raptor Superchargers! Pics will go up shortly. I wasn't able to take any while it was up in the air, was at work while it was getting done. So I'm waiting on the installer to send me the pics he took during the fabrication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidermanswrx Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) I have stock gasket, spacer, gasket from raptor, and them header and still laying on sway bar I guess I'm going to make a spacer thing to lift the sway bar bracket up.

Tradewind Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Spidermanswrx I have 12mm spacers (near 1/2") in stock if you really want to drop the header down a bit further. I am using this on the Outback when there is a clearance issue. Works very well. Email me (raptorsc@westnet.com.au) and I will send you a set if you like.

I was told I might just need to adjust my endlinks to pull sway bar up going to try that tomorrow and then I'll let you know if I need the spacers. Thanks The space I need is only a 1/16 if that Edited August 18, 2015 by Spidermanswrx Space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Mr. Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Does anyone know of a standalone ECU that will work with the 08-09 Legacy CAN Bus system and run an EZ36?

Perscitus Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) I've switched to an XRT (Xtreme Racing Tuning) tune and all I can say is WOW! The car is now updated with both the latest stock FHI/SoA ECM and TCM stock flashes and tuned on top of these. We're 'only' on the 2nd revision and already making great progress. Ed has been a pleasure to work it. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive with performance and log results that back it up. Engine runs great, transmission runs great, no longer constantly tries to upshift to 5 all the time, holds lower gears, responds far far better to throttle input and delivers the torque I'd expect at low and mid-RPM. StevenC, you're spot on with how the 5EAT can be transformed. All thanks to Xtreme Racing Tuning. I'm impressed. http://www.xtremeracingtuning.com/forum/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Xtreme-Racing-Tuning/373066652830868 http://www.sb9t.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2925 Edited August 26, 2015 by Perscitus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

west_minist Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 In your aussie! To be honest I would trust your results. Not sure about others exhust the stock subaru header that came on the 06 I think. Ok thanks. Will fill up this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golferdude1087 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Engine runs great, transmission runs great, no longer constantly tries to upshift to 5 all the time, holds lower gears, responds far far better to throttle input and delivers the torque I'd expect at low and mid-RPM. THAT is my biggest complaint with the current setup. The transmission is constantly shifting to the highest gear for best economy and i fear it'll wear the transmission down early from the constant shifts. It doesn't have a lack of power so much as I feel like it short shifts a lot and the car really isn't happy with that. It can get a bit jerky when it does that and it makes the car more to handle. Perscitus keep us informed, this is what we've been looking for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) stevenc1703 had already been drinking the (Xtreme Racing Tuning) 3.6R elixir long before I tried it http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4860233&postcount=11702 http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4926464&postcount=929 http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4861219&postcount=667 http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4783845&postcount=1 On my 3rd revision with XRT and the car is responding very well to west_minist's changes! v0 was already great - great idle, low/mid range torque, great transmission behavior, zero knock. v1 improved throttle response, made it quick and crisp and added even more low/mid range torque, further timing and AVCS tweaks. v2 (latest) is the icing on the cake. Rounded out all the changes from v0 and v1. Smoothest power delivery, pulls great from low RPM all the way to 6.x K RPM Nearly ideal throttle response and transmission behavior (I can't imagine it getting any better!). The car responds to throttle input like a 2015 WRX in S or S# and the transmission works very similar to it too. Holds gears, downshifts and upshifts very quickly. More testing this weekend (v2a).

Perscitus Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I seem to have some right now. Exactly @ 1.45-1.5K RPM and only there. Super annoying and indeed sounds like a$$. Everywhere else - mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
