Those are not the tables from your car.

Possibly from a postFl tbSti (notice the horrible 2D DBW table. No Liberty came like that from factory, while the tbSti was "enhanced" at Sti Australia).

That boost table you posted just now, also doesn't look much like stock Subaru work. So quite possibly it's a ROM from a tbSti or someone who thought they had a stock ROM, but it was actually previously modified by a 2 year old.

Compare to any WRX or Sti tune and you'll see much more similarity to what you pulled out of your car.

That's a clue as to why many a postFl tbSti have gone through an engine or two on an otherwise stock car.

Thanks for the clarification Alexei. Please note i have pressed the "Delete" Key and the file no longer exists

Thank God!

*Wipes sweat off brow*

PS. Since you're planning a similar build and it's auto and in Melbourne - you're welcome to come check out my Lib sometime, engine built by Phil Lowe and the auto built by Kewish Auto. Definitely a mod worth doing, if you have the budget for it

Cheers for the offer! Alexei do you have your own build thread?

Just got back from getting the car tuned by Matt (Kido Tunes), car is soo much better! That may even be an understatement!

As Matt initially went through the tune that was in the car, it became VERY clear who ever did it (I know who....) had no clue what they were doing...
Boost had been raised to 17.6psi with boost cut limit set to 24psi??? why??? Who knows!

Car is now much more responsive when accelerating only part throttle and WOT is just awesome fun in Sport and Sport #.
98 Fuel in the tank for now Haha
I = 9.5psi
Sport = 13.5psi
Sport# = 17.6psi

Very happy with the cars performance after the mods!

No, although I have promised to make one soon... Seems like too much effort after 4 years of modding

Forged block, PW Tmic, custom intake, silicone intake pipes, Blouch 20G XTR, very free flowing exhaust, Varex mufflers... Probably a few other bits, made 290kw on E85 at about 21psi (EDIT: 22-23psi. Oops!), on the stock auto box with modded VB (line pressure up by 40%), and 230atw on 98 on a soft 18psi tune.

Fully built box by Kewish since, a fair bit more rev range to play with, absolutely love it.

Plenty of Cusco bracing, custom Bilstein setup, Brembos with good rotors/pads etc etc.

About to correct the paint and install a lot of cosmetic components that have been piling up over the last year.

I don't usually offer my car for inspection, but for a fellow auto enthusiast and potential Kewish customer, happy to give you some ideas (and point out the not so good ones)

+1 on a build thread Alexei

Yeah we wanna hear the highs and the lows of the mission

[MadmanSean]

Bought some stuffs!

Tomei FPR - Not fitted yet as my fuel rail adapter hasn't arrived.....
Invidia Catless Dump pipe - Test fit the DP and it just fouls on the rear of the gear box.. solution i'm thinking is to cut and extend by 2" as it is roughly 2" short of mating to the catback section..

Met up with Matt (Kido Tunes) again today car is absolulety on fire HAHA
Started tuning for E85 but when he increased the boost to ~17psi we found the waste gate was opening and not holding... A quick trip out to Tupseed was required to pickup a 3 Port BCS. Having not been there before it was awesome to see and discuss all of the awesome parts available for Subys

With a Tuspeed burger box in my hand i returned to Matt, who installed it in record breaking time! Quick trip down the road all was good. Or should i say F!@#$$^% AMAZING!!!!!!!

Matt also pointed out the end tanks on my stock intercooler have split.... well time for some new goodies woohoo!

Currently trying to find my micro SD card so i can setup logging with the Tactrix.

[bigBADbenny]

If you have an android with otg you can log with the btssm app via USB on the tactrix iirc, way quicker polling than tactrix log to mSD card...
You'd also get live gauges to monitor potential boost leakage from tmic, and LV etc.
Runs well even on older androids, just research if it has otg (and google play store) before committing.

For now i've just been taking the Laptop for a ride along so im not wasting any time.
Ive got a Bluetooth ELM327 and Torque Pro on my Galaxy S3 this also works well, tested it just last night
Should have some graphs to put up soonish - Pending business of flat road near home

Bad news! Lost a caliper bolt on the way to work.....

Brakes

20161117_182303.jpg (99.76 KiB) Viewed 48734 times

Checked out the suspension, steering and brakes, small list of things to replace (SO FAR):
New Tires as the side walls have cracked....
New CV boot on front right Axle, its completely shredded..
Caliper Bolt...NEED THIS ASAP!...

I checked over the rear sub frame and diff mounts as ive had a problem for a wile when i accelerate. I get a clunking and creaking noises from the rear, i though it was the diff mounts and possibly the diff rocking back and forth but it all looks solid... It initially started as a creaking noise coming from the rear right wheel when i turn right. Scratching my head right now as to what it could be...

[jslayz]

end links or strut top loose or worn

I Checked them over as you suggested and tightened them, the noise is still there.... any other suggestions?

Regreasing sway bar bushes or replace with the embedded grease ones.

Had my tires replaced with Bridgestone RE003 225/40/18 they feel great! Road noise is down and the grip is much better under braking

I told the tire shop about the creaking noises and wile the car was on the hoist they sorted it out as you suggested. Re greased sway bar mounts tightened end links and shock mounts. The noise is now gone and it didn't cost extra to have them check it for me
