xtremeracingtuning Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Dear All: I (XRT) is offering professional Subaru Tuning Service to the Subaru community. XRT has over 8yrs of tuning experience in tuning all types of Subaru's from different markets - USA to Russia to South Africa; USDM, EDM, SDM, JDM, ADM Subaru's such as the 2.0/2.5 WRX & STI, Legacy, Forester and the Tribeca. All Tuning is done remotely out of Barbados. Once you have a laptop and the Tactrix OpenPort 2.0 Cable, you are ready to Go! In remote or E-Tuning, the customer purchase the Tactrix Openport 2.0 Cable and download the rom from the ECU and email it to XRT. During this process, you will log the car using the variables shown here and send me that log or logs with general driving and a few 2nd gear pulls if it is an Auto or 3rd Gear pulls if it is a Manual - all done from low in the rpm (1500+) till the rev limit. An example of a dyno pull is shown below: - http://www.xtremeracingtuning.com/forum/download/file.php?id=1251 An example of data collected of the stock performance of the car is shown below:- http://www.xtremeracingtuning.com/forum/download/file.php?id=1422 FYI - http://www.xtremeracingtuning.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=40 Once XRT received the rom and the logs, I prepare a tune and email it to you. You will upload this to the ecu and the process of driving and log starts all over again. During this period, you are encourage to give as much feedback as possible and tuning can take a few days to weeks, depending on your time. Usually, a rom per day, your car can be completed in about 3-4 days. Avg time.... 1wk. XRT provides the following on contact: Info PDF - Download links, customer reviews, etc Contact information such as Skype, BBM, Whatsapp, etc Computer remote access and control using Teamviewer to configure all software needed. Nooby...No worry!! Extensive discussions on how to drive and tune your car XRT provides the following information during tuning: Logging analyses of issues or performance Dyno graphs Feedback and communication to make sure all is going well as the car is learning to maximised fuel economy and performance Advice on mods - if needed Below are the specifics for tuning: Tuning tools Tactric Openport 2.0 cable - Please review file attached Laptop - Windows 7 Ecuflash & Romraider - Free software. Please review file attached Teamviewer - Free software that will allow me to configure the software on your laptop, if you do have issues doing so. Please review file attached Patience and understanding Tuning involves: Fuel maps tuning Ignition maps tuning AVCS tuning MAF tuning Drive-by-Wire tuning Some level of transmission Tuning for quicker shifting and operation through the ECU and not the TCU http://www.xtremeracingtuning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=509 Many other maps that are not mention like closed-loop to open-loop tuning What to expect from XRT Tuning A Tuner who responds to your queries, with a wealth of experience and diversity Greater throttle response Linear throttle behaviour Better fuel economy Better engine response Better take off from stop Better sounding car Increase low end to mid range torque Greater top end performance If automatic, greater transmission response and smoother shifting Please note once tuning is completed,I offer a lifetime support for that tune. In other words, if you want me to review the car 6months or even a year later, thats ok.I will provide updates as needed. Any future mods you perform, I only charge a retuning fee, once those mods are not major. Example Supercharging, Engine upgrades, etc are all major mods.

So far I've only had a chance to try one of those, with the results in the above video. Transmission performance improvement was immediate and very obvious. Shifting is much quicker than before and still very smooth. Even through the RPMs drop very fast when shifting I don't feel the shifts at all. The car feels as if there is more torque and that torque feels like it's available sooner. And although preliminary it appears my mileage may have improved too! __________________ This is my fourth Subaru: 2005 Outback 3.0R 5EAT - 155,540km/96,650mi Tuned by Ed @ Xtreme Racing Tuning Before = 183WHP @ 6849RPM/170ft-lbs @ 4238RPM After Ed = 195WHP @ 5756RPM/197ft-lbs @ 4861RPM, +7% HP, +16% torque, fully stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went through a couple of ROMs to see just how shifting performed and after four adjustments it's just WOW! Car takes right off with seamless, unfelt shifting. No sooner do I get to the speed I want but the torque convert locks up sooner than it takes me to look down from the road to the tachometer to see if it had because I can't feel the shifts anymore! My mileage is improving with the transmission tune as well. I don't need to give the car as much throttle to get the car up hills or to keep at speed on the flat. The torque converter doesn't unlock as quickly either. A modest nudge to the gas and the car just speeds up, no unlock. Give it a little more gas after that and it smoothly unlocks and the car takes off! Take my foot off the pedal and the TC locks right up again! It's beautiful!

The car is way better than what it was with stock ROM. The transmission is a lot of faster than what it used to be. This is how the 5EAT should have worked when it left from the factory (or engineer's table). Now the gear flaps are finally useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtremeracingtuning Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2zkK2X7Y9I&feature=youtu.be http://www.xtremeracingtuning.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=562 Hi everyone :)! After the tuning process of my Legacy H6 3.0R MY05 with 5EAT is finished i wanted to say a few words about my impressions and feelings about the entire story. Excuse my wording here and there as English isn't my first language and I'm a bit rusty regarding that I bought the car from a dealer who had it from Subaru of Germany in the beginning of 2013 as my new daily driver. As a car that they used for their business purposes, it had covered only around 40.000 kilometers back than, a quite small number regarding the fact that it is one of the very early pre facelift models, built in 2004. On the downside, I assume that it stood around outdoors for a long time not being moved or only over short distances in the city of Friedberg where Subaru has it's HQ over here. I replaced the entire rotten exhaust system with new RaptorSC headers, 200cpsi metallic catalytic converters and a new designed custom 2" cat back system with FOX performance silencers and contacted Edward afterwards to get everything tuned, lower the insane fuel consumption after the modification (the car didn't like the free flow exhaust system, consuming over 20 ltrs / 100km) and make everything feel a little bit more sporty. From the beginning to the end, it was amazing to work with him. When I look back, I almost feel a little bit sorry for all the silly questions he had to answer, but he never lost patience and answered every single of them until everything was clear (even to me :P). We went through a huge amount of tunes but things didn't go very well until i decided to replace the 10 years old front o2 sensors, which caused lots of problems and only worked from time to time. After that, the final tune was found pretty quickly, especially because Edward delievers new tunes in about no time. I'm more then pleased with the outcome; not only that the consumption is down a lot (about 11,5 liters / 100 km driven hard in the range of 130kph up to 240 kph on the German Autobahn, often in 4th or even 3rd gear for maximum acceleration and a good amount below 10 liters / 100 km at chilled highway cruising), everything feels more responsive, the car isn't hitting the rev limiter anymore when using kickdown all the way up, it just feels fantastic. I have to admit that I don't know what exactly Edward did in the end to achieve this great feeling, but we went through different kinds of settings and after some short messages via Whatsapp he was able to achieve a result just like I wanted to for my daily driver and couldn't even describe with words. Even if the car feels more sporty if you want to push it harder, there's much more power below the magical 3000rpm mark and the power band is very, very smooth (much smoother then OEM) and it still feels very drivable regarding every-day-use. I don't know about power figures but actually I don't care at all; the car is hitting 260 km/h on the dashboard (around 245 GPS, before tuning around 235) and is doing 0-100 km/h in under 6.5seconds (no idea what it was before). Impressive if you imagine that it feels stronger at low rpm, too. Long story short: That's how Subaru should have delivered the car out of the factory. I'll contact Edward again next year regarding a tune for my JDM STI and after my dad - who drives a 3.6R Outback, we're a Subaru family here at the mountains - has driven the Legacy after the final tune for the first time, Edward can be sure that he has got a new customer at this moment. Right now we are waiting for the 3.6R's headers to arrive from RaptorSC :D. After looking for a tuner for quite some time in Germany without a result, i've found the best I can imagine over this strange thing called internet 8000 kilometers away in Barbados. Thank you very much for all your efforts Edward, they're priceless! I recorded a little video today on my way from one valley to another here at the mountains, my last drive this year before mounting snow tires. Not too hard driven, but pushing it a little bit uphill. You can get the idea. And... sorry for the annoying sounds the full box of chewing gums in every turn :roll: (placeholder, video still uploading) Kindest Regards from the Black Forest!

MikeyPSF Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hello everyone, My name is Mike and I'm one of two people that is the company Tactrix, which is the hardware that Edward uses for his remote tuning. While I haven't used Edwards tuning services personally, I did want to say that I've heard nothing but good feedback from customers who have mentioned using his services, which I can say have been people in many different countries. Keep up the good work Edward! -Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtreme Racing Tuning - ChrisKu - 2008 USDM Subaru Legacy H6 3.0R 5EAT - Tuning Subject: V11c1 Logs Date: Sat, 8 Aug 2015 23:01:38 -0700 From: ChrisKu To: XRT Here are logs from V11c1...i am very please with the way she feels now on this ROM...shifting,power delivery, torque....in auto and in manual modes i like the way she feels...not sluggish at all even in the lower rpms if i need to pass or give a lil gas or to climb a hill...no problem now...no throttle lag at all in any mode or gear for any reason yet that I have encountered...she feels strong when i did a couple pulls...she just feels like she wants to go, peeppy, I like it! i cannot wait till I get the rest of the exhaust system on and the new torque box/racing intake chamber by kakimoto...very smooth cruising .................... Driving in the automatic mode is now enjoyable as the car does not struggle in 5th gear anymore, she downshifts super fast and always when i need just a lil extra power when passing/overtaking cars or climbing hills. In Full automatic Sport mode or Sport Sharp # mode, both modes feel like you are in the manual tiptronic mode with how the power is delivered in throttle response. Before tuning when i would give it gas, it would take a few seconds for the power to be delivered and i could actually start feeling/Speeding up, but now as soon as i give it gas, she just wants to go! Super peppy from Ed's tuning of the TCU, the DBW system has been fully adjusted and now it feels like theres power on demand, it an awsome feeling! No more struggling up hills or struggling for the auto tranny to downshift into 4th/3rd. Before when i would want the car to downshift in full auto mode, you would have the slam the pedal down to get it to downshift for passing/hill climbing...now you barely have to give it any gas for it to downshift to 4th! The bogged down feeling i used to have is gone now that Ed has tuned the TCU! One other thing i noticed with the TCU tuning, when i would red line any gear...between 6000-6700rpm would take really long and it would almost struggle to fully redline to shift gears...now it just flys throughout the WHOLE rpm range,especially at the top of the rpm range it doesnt stall out or struggle to pull thru to redline for gear shifting. Everything ed has done with the TCU has been above and beyond my expectations, Shifting is smoother & faster than before! Videos will be posted soon of how she flys!! Xtreme Racing Tuning ? View topic - ChrisKu - 2008 USDM Subaru Legacy H6 3.0R 5EAT - Tuning On to Rom V16..The Throttle Response due to the lag has been adjusted so that when i give it gas, it goes! Its a great feeling... With the Full exhaust system in place she has a Beautiful Raspy Rumble Created by the Raptor Headers w/High flow Cats. The new exhaust system plus the Ecu tuning allows me to move thru the rpm range ALOT faster than before! Its like night and day from how the 3.0R was before I started tuning with Ed.

Everything ed has done with the TCU has been above and beyond my expectations, Shifting is smoother & faster than before! Videos will be posted soon of how she flys!! We are close to finishing the Ecu tuning, but so far i am BEYOND please with all that ED has done with the 3.0R! :D Once the Kakimoto Racing Intake Chamber arrives/installed itll be the last mod i do for the 3.0R. Minor tuning adjustments might need to be made. Ive just received ROM V17. Review Comming Soon.

Rounded out all the changes from v0 and v1. Smoothest power delivery, pulls great from low RPM all the way to 6.x K RPM Nearly ideal throttle response and transmission behavior (I can't imagine it getting any better!). The car responds to throttle input like a 2015 WRX in S or S# and the transmission works very similar to it too. Holds gears, downshifts and upshifts very quickly. More testing this weekend. Tue Aug 25, 2015 8:36 pm Customer has moved from Ecutek to XRT Customer feedback: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5220772&postcount=1772 http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5220773&postcount=18994 I've switched to an XRT (Xtreme Racing Tuning) tune and all I can say is WOW! The car is now updated with both the latest stock FHI/SoA ECM and TCM stock flashes and tuned on top of these. We're 'only' on the 2nd revision and already making great progress. Ed has been a pleasure to work it. Extremely knowledgeable, professional, responsive with performance and log results that back it up. Engine runs great, transmission runs great, no longer constantly tries to upshift to 5 all the time, holds lower gears, responds far far better to throttle input and delivers the torque I'd expect at low and mid-RPM. StevenC, you're spot on with how the 5EAT can be transformed. All thanks to Xtreme Racing Tuning. I'm impressed. In addition: First of! Wow! I'm not sure if you've already tweaked the TCM affecting params and table, but WOW. The 5EAT holds gears, shifts much better. Its a night and day difference. The engine itself seems much happier, runs better, idles better. And it seems like during the whole log IAM stayed constant at '1'. Which is great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
