shralp Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Hi guys, My '08 OBP Outback XT 5MT just arrived from Cleveland last night, (purchased from SMorris on the forum). For an '08 with 49K miles the car looks to be in really good nick! Quick question on the SI drive if anyone can answer a question. It appears that each time I turn off the car after having the SI drive set to sport sharp, the car defaults back to regular "sport" mode and I have to switch it back over each time I start up the car. I assume this is normal? Is there a way to keep the car in sport sharp all the time so I don't have to switch it over each time I start the car? Also, for those of you running aftermarket tunes, do you still see a difference in the SI modes or does your aftermarket tune render these essentially inoperable or do you still see a difference between the three modes. My '05 GT wagon doesn't have all the SI gadgetry so I have no experience with it thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrikman Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Yes, that's standard procedure. If you get a CEL, it stays in S mode also. Congrats on the purchase, Smorris is a good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 SI drive will default to S if it was in S# or I if it was in I when the car is turned off. S# is not available until the car is warmed up. A good tuner can adjust boost profiles with different SI-drive settings by using the "requested tq" table in the cars ROM. My car for example For example: I - 15lbs peak S- 17.5 lbs peak S#- 22 lbs peak Thee are a few other nuances to my tune as well (waste gate duty, pedal input vs throttle plate stuff) "Striving to better, oft we mar what's well." - Bill Shakespeare - car modder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Mac Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Fairly certain there is a way to force it to start in S#. Remember reading about someone doing it to a WRX on NASIOC a few years back, think it may have been RSutton. There was only a few builds I followed on there and his one springs to mind 2000 Legacy B4 RSK - SOLD 2006 Legacy BP5 GT Spec B wagon - Garage Thread 2011 VW T5 van 2.0L of turbo diesel awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
