Also keen to know what gains you can get from a stock 2007 Liberty GT (Auto). I've had feedback from a couple of tuners to say max of 5% gains without doing the exhaust (DP at a minimum). Basically don't bother with a tune until you replace the dump pipe.

Cheers.

Fueling, timing, WGDC tables and AVCS all affects spool but more importantly, it is torque which makes the biggest difference.

Put it this way, I have a dyno proven 22% power gain on a stock standard as it rolled off the showroom floor condition MY11 STi, which also picked up 30% more torque and yet runs only 0.8psi more boost than stock(15psi, not 14.2psi)

The MY07 Liberty GT 5EAT in even stock form will gain 15% peak power and 18% peak torque on a safe tune

What can you do for a stock H6?

Im thinking of putting on an xforce centre and y pipe on. Would that make a difference tuning wise?

The exhaust would alter the timing requirements of the engine, so you would experience a drop in torque over a fully tuned car, however I could update the car next time I am in town for a minimal fee.

hey matt!!!!!
i was wondering what power increase and torque i would be expecting on a stock my06 3.0r-b?
thanks

Solid 10% or more increase in top end power, the gains are in the midrange where up to 25% is possible with a stock car as the ignition timing is less than optimal due to being so erratic and the fuel tables run very rich

Expect to shave a solid second off the 0-100kph time for a real world comparison but get gains in fuel economy as well

At this stage, I am pretty booked out though for this trip, however may be able to organise something next time I am in Sydney.

Per gear wastegate duty control in 07 onwards Liberty GT is sorted. Full boost in 1st gear pulls harder than 3rd gear!

I have posted this in my build thread but I will repost here for ease of reference.

On Friday I had the chance to catch up with Matt from Kido Tuning, and how glad I am that I did.

The car is just so much smoother and easier to drive now. Right through the rev range it just wants to pull and pull now.

Matching the throttle and the clutch together on take off and gear changes is so easy now with the Dbw and anti stall adjusted.

I have only had one drive in peak hour traffic so far but fuel economy has already improved by 0.8L per 100klms so it will be good to see how it goes with my usual 1000klms a week traveling to and from work.

Matt made it a very simple and friendly experience and I would recommend this tune to any one.

Thanks Matt and Bryce

Ps Matt I'm very interested for more info on your cars as im sure many others would be as well. 3.5lt v6 in a pulsar haha

I also had the pleasure in meeting Matt and having a custom tune done this afternoon, and must say the car has been transformed into a smother and much better drive. The Auto now shifts much quicker and smoother all I can say I am one happy customer,

also gained a little more power. As Tom said (Matt made it a very simple and friendly experience and I would recommend this tune to anyone.)
Thanks Matt & Bryce

Cheers George

PS Matt I hope you recovered after that clown came out of a side street while I was doing over 100ks :shock:

is the wideband A/F meter necessary? I have everything else needed to do this kind of tune except the meter, so i wouldn't need all the hardware. Is the hardware rented or purchased? Is this open to jdm legacy's?

Matt what is the longest period of time a Liberty has had one of your tunes for?

It is possible to tune the car without the wideband as the Air/fuel ratios can be deduced from other information in the logs. Having the AFR readout is easier.
