Tune results

[Karl JH]

Hi Guys had my Levorg GTS tuned today by MSR in NSW Australia. Only modifications I installed are a Mishimoto intake and HKS diff back exhaust. Very happy with the results car feels great.

wow nice results, congrats

Those torque numbers are crazy, wouldnt have expected that high

Did they happen to do a baseline before tune ? would be interesting to see the gains

 

[Karl JH]

Thanks mate.

He said he didn't push the car to hard to get a baseline because it might run a bit to lean with the intake. But normally these get around 140-145kw atw stock on his dyno.

The Torque is surprisingly high lol. I had a 05 wrx with just turboback exhaust tuned here about 10 years ago and that car got 480nm on the stock td04. So maybe Torque just reads high on this dyno for reason? Not sure, lol
But the car feels awesome pulls hard all the way up top.

How much was the quote on the tune? Did they fit the intake/ diff back exhaust?

$1200 for the tune.
I installed the intake and exhaust myself.
I was originally gonna install a J pipe as well but they advised me not to as it will you loose torque off idle and cvt wouldn't be able to handle it. I would highly recommend msr if your thinking of getting a tune he definitely knows what he's doing.
Pulse racing in Menai wanted $1600 for a tune.
Ichiban in Ingleburn said that the program they use to tune cvts no longer works so can't go to them at the moment.

thanks for telling me, got a quote from tunehouse in marrickville for just stage 1 and it was 1600... hopefully I can get around the same gains with an intake.

Hey mate,

Great to see you went with MSR, Mick is an absolute guru and knows his stuff. Strong numbers and what an improvement!
Hes done all my previous WRXs and you are never left disappointed.

HKS system looks superb, was this a local purchase or sourced from Japan?

Cheers!

 

[Karl JH]

Thanks mate.

Yeah he's done two tunes on one of my previous wrx's as well.

I sourced the hks system from Japan. RHDjapan it was about $1000 delivered. It's really quiet at idle and low revs but has a nice raspy almost hollow sound at high rpms. Perfect for me because I daily the car for work and didn't want any drone or anything to loud.

Great numbers, well done

Dam you got a good deal just checked Japan parts $890 for exhaust but $340 shipping ouch...

What did the tuner say about the intake? I was advised to leave the stock intake as fa20s and CVT seem to not like the change?

Only thing he said about the intake is it will run a bit lean without a tune. I only installed the intake for the sound but the fact I gained about 40kw at the wheels after the tune I think the car gained a bit of power from it. The mishimoto intake uses pipping the same diameter as stock and the maf is in the same location as stock. The filter is in an enclosed airbox the gets air from the stock snorkel. A lot of the other intakes ether go into the fender or just a filter in the engine bay which might be a problem? But I'm not sure

 

[charlie_ching]

Oh nice I'll look into it. I'm mostly chasing the sound. But I'd tune it aswell. When I had my WRX with the ej25 I had a process west cold air intake, and invidia headers right through to q300 and it sounds awesome. Still used the factory bov but you could hear it like it was vented to atmosphere. Thanks for that. I just have the q300 exhaust car back, and a flash tune on the levorg at the moment. But was told I could put the J pipe on if I wanted. But was scared to do that from what I'd heard from others

Nice. I had a similar setup on my hawkeye ej255. You can hear the stock bpv really well with the intake on the levorg as well and the spooling sounds awesome.
I had a J pipe to install on my Levorg but my tuner said it will cause the car to lag off idle then the torque would come on too strong. He said the cvt probably wouldn't last long.

 

[leonyy]

Hey karl just wondering if you've done any 0-100s or rolls with the tune now?

 

[charlie_ching]

This the one you have?
