hi there.
at the moment, i own a 06 liberty. i'm also doing the same similar to you in keeping the car NA. Because i want something that's stand out and special.

at the moment, i haven't looked into ecu yet tho :cry:

i have a 柿本改 Kakimoto Racing, Regu.06&R exhaust, and phatt racing cold air intake. i have a zero sport intake pipe, phatt racing intake chamber coming on its way from japan as we speak now.

for handling side, i have just ordered a set of swift springs, planning to mate it with the bilstein damper and see how it goes.

with the car at the moment, i feel the car's rev climb is quite slow, so i do plan later on, at some point, i will get lighten flywheel and shorter final drive to bring the acceleration up a bit.

ok stat from the top. generally if subaru suspect that you've been playing with the factory ECU, they try to do a flash to it. as in upload a base map or a map with subaru updates. if the update fails, they know you've been playing with the maps with something like ecutek (cos ecutek puts a block on all read/writes to the ECU if you're not using ecutek software)

there are people out there who can tap into the stock ecu, tune it, but leave no trace/block. so if subaru tried to do an update. subaru still can.

what can you do with a stock ECU? adjust timings, fuel and some other stuff.

i'm not saying that you should be it, but it's an option that i was considering before i sold my car.

except from ecutek, are there anything out there for the NA liberty? is there any plug n play ecu from Japan?

I'm running a mugen N1 ecu on my integra type R, so there are no hassle with tuning and it is great with just i/h/e bolt on parts. So i was thinking of doing the same thing with my liberty :wink: is there any tuner in japan that mods a NA legacy?
