2.5iTuning by Xtreme Racing Tuning

Postby west_minist » Tue Jun 15, 2010 8:50 pm

Hello:

Is there anyone who would be interested in having their 2.5i tuned?

I have tuned many of NA's and I know the restrictions on these cars. I also tune many 3R, so again, I am no stranger to NA tuning. Just tuning the DBW makes a big difference. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=7207

I have a great tuning back ground (4+ years) in Subaru's and would like to offer alternative tuning to the local tuning community.

I am based out of Barbados and been performing remote tuning around the world, from Australia to Canada. My service offers complete custom tuning for your car. No based maps. I tune more than boost and Ignition, as you will see there. If you research online my name west_minist, you will see alot of my work, even AVCS tuning that has help many tuners to review tuning these maps.

To review some of the models I have work on, but not limited to what is show there, please visit the following link http://www.xtremeracingtuning.com/forum ... um.php?f=8

I have great wonderful customer responses that I try to achieve great results and after service. To review those comments, please visit http://www.xtremeracingtuning.com/forum ... m.php?f=48

I have build up a time of trust, that today I am happy that no customer have ever have to wonder about payment of service and completing of tuning.

To review my work on this forum, just search for my name or go here viewtopic.php?f=16&t=7207 , where you are branch to many other areas on the forum.

Thank you very much and I look forward to interesting parties.

I started a new clean thread for posting:- viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13414

Why would I have to be there?

All you need is the tactrix cable, the free software and you are good to go.

300aud for tuning. With drive by wire tuning to your specs, then 375audd in total. It depends on how stable the car is and fine tuning. Sometimes up to 7 reflashes.

How much roughly for a tactrix cable? I have access to a laptop. I'd be keen to level out this peaky DBW and also advance the ignition as much as safely possible since I am always running the car on 98RON.

Not after peak power, but I'm after daily driveability.

Tactrix cable is $169aud. Check to see if you have the two pairs of green connectors.

In many cases, ign is retarded :)

what outcomes do you generally see with retuning the 2.5i? I've spoken with some tuners here in Melbourne, who have indicated that extractor and intake mods are also required to maximise benefit?

I think it's the first time he'll be tuning the 2.5i...

I've put this on the "to-do" list for now until I have some spare cash, but I'm happy to be the guinea pig if no one has done it by the time I'm ready.

All NA, except for some fuel cars, you really have to mod them. But I find on the Subaru's, its the fueling and the DBW that sucks, making the car slow and dead under 4000rpm and throttle usage.

It would be the first time on the 2.5i. But let me tell you its nothing special about these engines compare to others.

hi WestMinst I have been looking further into this.

Romraider only supports the 2008 5MT 2.5i. Do you propose another method to tune non-MY08 models?

I do not use romraider. I developed the definition file. So its not a problem to tune.
