SI Drive Tuning

Hello to those who has SI Drive!

How do you feel about SI Drive?

What options would you love to have with SI drive?

At present, I tune all settings settings to be the same. What would you want change?

I look forward to your responses as Liberty/outback 3.0R owners.

Take for instant,

    Setting #1: You may not need to go over 50% throttle, keeping power low
    Setting #2: At a preset accelerator setting, decrease throttle response. This more in particular to driving on highways/country. Get up to speed and level off. This can take long to tune due to customer needs.
    Setting #3: Full sports mode. Linear throttle. Currently what I tune now

SI Drive from the factory is quite useless.
"I" mode feels like it has 1.5L engine
"S#" mode is very twitchy
So I do all my driving in "S" mode.

Since mine is an auto, I'm think tuning it the same for all modes is fine, it still shifts up a lot sooner in "I"
But I still doubt I will drive in any mode other than "S"

p.s. I have a 1 year old in a car seat in the back so no fanging for me

Mine isn't SI Drive but if it was I would want maps for the following UK fuels:

1) BP Ultimate 97RON
2) Shell V-Power 98RON
3) BP Ultimate 102RON

Nah. It does nto work. so. If you had ign maps or boost maps to the settings, that would be great, and even then, still not, as you want to maximise ign due to the fuel :)

First thing I do when I get in the lib is hit the ""S#"" before I drive off Have always wondered if it was possible to make S# the default S and I are fucking useless

I haven't driven a DBW in long from Subaru, especially NA. But I been thinking of opening the throttle to a good bit to build momentum and levelling it off to stimulate torque. Anyone feel this way?

ok. This is what to do. Design how you want each mode to be. Lets get it down on Internet paper!!! lol.

This would help me to release maps to those who just want DBW tuning.

Once I have support for the car, its just a simple change to a few maps. I would release mass produce DBW tuning only for $150AUD. If the rom is not supported that I have to gain support way before I can tune DBW, it would be $75AUD. I do hope the pricing is good, because that would be something I would do if I had SI drive and before I would buy hardware to do it.

Easy to swap them around

I've found that a combination of the bottom end of either I mode with the top end of S# is really nice that what I have in my current S#. The stock s# is just too aggressive. Also S mode with the top end fixed up similar to S# is another that i use in S. Actually what am i saying, its what my wife is forced to use. She complained when I made it too soft down low once

This is for a GT btw
