    JDM Engine Replacement

    I had a tune a couple of months back. At peak power I got +15kw at the wheels, and mid range it was up to +20kw (at 98ron fuel). It is noticeably quicker. I suspect the engine is now developing the power close to whar you get from the version in Japan. I am considering later this year...

    Do they race with a CVT? & is it the 1.6 or 2.0 version?

    Stage 1 - Completed

    I am interested in your sound deadening efforts. I find the tyre noise on course grain paved highways really annoying. Some of Melbourne's freeways have much smoother surfaces which means quieter inside. But I do not have the skill nor inclination to install sound deadening myself & am not...

    JDM Engine Replacement

    The Australian Levorg has the same CVT as the Japanese. The only thing different is the engine tuning - like the WRX, it has had a crude detune, minus 24kw to 197kw. They so this due to concerns about fuel quality I believe. I have since had my Levorg tuned and it is now very close to the...

    Air Intake

    Hi Glenn, If you mean a cold air intake - money down the drain. There are a few videos around, the best are MRT videos where they claim to have done air flow tests on the stock intake finding no gains from after market substitutes. I can recommend a performance tune by itself - you should get...

    Fuel Consumption

    It's a pity they have not beefed up the gearbox. The MRT people reckon it can handle 400nm at the hub - so by the sound of what you have - it might be a bit over that. Why I am interested in the MRT kit, is they claim its performance increase is within the limits of the CVT, (and it is not...

    Fuel Consumption

    Can you tell me which exhaust brand you chose? I have looked at the MRT XB exhaust & ECU remap package. They are expensive from MRT, but some of the resellers do it for quite a bit cheaper. SO an interested in what system you used, and what sort of whp you got before and after.

    Fuel Consumption

    I live in the inner city - My Levorg is a 2.0 GTS with a Stage 1 tune & runs on 98ron. Fuel economy before and after the tune is similar. Around town I usually use Intelligent mode, but will often use Sports# as well. Freeways - nearly always Intelligent mode. I rarely use S1 mode, it seems...

    Hello from Melbourne

    Tuned by the Horsepower Factory in Dandenong. Dyno tune only, no parts - but peak power increase was 15kw at the wheels & up to 20kw mid range. It feels like what the car should have been out of the factory. In Japan, their Levorgs come rated at 221kw, ours are detuned back to 197kw. I might...

    Hello from Melbourne

    Hi - I bought by Levorg in January & love the car. The only modification i have done is a Stage 1 tune & that was well worth doing. It now runs on 98 octane fuel as well, and is noticeable quicker. I would like to update the grill - the mesh grill looks pretty cool - I guess anything that...

    Hi from Sydney!

    About Pandora being discontinued in Australia - I have an iPhone and recently installed a VPN app - Opera VPN, it's free btw. Turn it on, set the country to the US, and Pandora works again. I agree with you about the Bilsteins, and the road noise too.

    My Levorg

    I notice you have an MRT tag on the rear. Can you describe what they have done?
