Can an auto Forester turbo be mapped?

[david1972]

As the question suggests really - I'm talking about the 2.5 turbo auto lump used up to 2009, then the 2.0 litre cvt auto in the current gen Forester

 

.....just thinking ahead  ;)

 

Cheers

I can't think why not. Don't hold me to that mind but I would have thought it could be made to benefit from a map :D 

[david1972]

Would be good to know if it could be fettled in the same was as the impreza lump can be; or at least as easily (if not for quite the same power gain)  :D

 

I just didn't know how or if the auto box would interfere with anything

I'll tell you what I'll do mate I'll message Duncan Graham for you in a 2nd see how quickly he will reply back. To me or on here how's that sound [emoji4]

I know that some of the auto legacys can be mapped and even the gear changes improve through esl .

So can't see why the newer ones can't be but will admit I don't know much about newage mapping options

So

[Gambit]

Same here. I don't know enough about mapping anyway but I still think it could be done. Be interesting to know though.

Good man; thanks mate  :)

[Gambit]

No Problem mate I've messaged him but I don't blame him if no reply over the weekend. Don't think everyone is as sad as me :D

Yes they can

[david1972]

Yes they can

As easily or effectively (if you know mate)?

I presume they use the same denso ecu's so carberry & ecutek should be available, when dunc replies see what he recommends. There's plenty of us owners who use cobb access port may be worth rooting round on forester.org

[david1972]

So pleased if that's true....probably got 1 more car change in me while we've got the 2 dogs and would love a few years in an 08/09 Foz 2.5 turbo in about 5 years time. Love my outback but miss the higher seating position you get with the Foz

Yeah Duncan got back to me this morning. Said yes done loads. Like most cars does depend on age of the car. But he said had some great results doing them too.

[david1972]

Great stuff...thank you both [emoji106]

We're saving to extend the house in 4 years time, but if we can achieve that, I've already been given carte blanche for my next car [emoji123]

Info logged for future use with great thanks guys. Would love to get into an 08/09 2.5 auto turbo Foz or maybe even a 2013 current gen 2.0xt cvt auto turbo [emoji6]

I had my 2.5 XTeN Auto remapped by Duncan from RaceDynamix.

276 rwbhp :P

Only mods are K&N filter and a H&S sports cat exhaust system.

So your answer is YES

[david1972]

Thanks muzzer - did you get improved mpg as well as bhp?

Is Cobb access port availiable to us then

[stants]

Think it may be only available on the 01+ models not really sure tbh

[Rick 2014]

There is a Green forester turbo down the road from me Adam exactly like yours for sale but its an auto.Needs tidying up though

Not really sure, I don't keep tabs on my mpg much. I guess it does just under 30mpg on long runs if I keep my foot off the loud pedal.

Drops drastically when I boot it though

Certainly a lot more responsive than it was though - makes me wish it was a manual sometimes
