Its not required to remap the ecu when water injection is installed, but a remap will improve HP and fuel economy because the afr can be put right on top of the max power afr (vs running a bit on the rich side), and the timing can be advanced a bit. This is all relative to a boosted motor that's been highly tuned without water injection.

You think you would have to re-map a chip for it ?
I figured you could leave it alone, because someone
may be using it, you tell us.
Seriously, if I didnt have my Soarer, Id be all over this mod for an Svx. But the Soarer pretty much fills the craving of needing to go fast whenever I need it.
No, as I was saying you can do whatever hardware changes you want and they shoiuld be handled well.

It's hard to give up $5000 for something and waiting this long for it. Everyone know it was coming and if you were serious about it you could have started saving up. I've managed to put away enough to pick up another SVX and do a manual conversion on it plus an extra $2000 saved up for some boby parts and eventually a paint job. I know some of you are in school and make less then me, but you could have put a little away each month.
Hey Mike,

I'm glad to have met you even though it was brief and only once. I already have some $$$ stashed away and I don't even own an SVX. I fell in love with yours. Remember me asking you about selling it? So, I'll wait a year or two....or three until you get tired of that 'boring' SVX with gobs of power. Then you can sell it to me. That's if I don't own a Forester XT by then.

You mine in about 5 years? After I finish building the SVX with the S/C EG33, 6-speed, custom paint w/ custom interior. By the time I'm done you'll be looking at 30 Grand for me to even consider selling. However I might sell a 92 with a 5-speed in about 2 or 3 years. I'm trying to finish it up for a daily driver right now.

(Sorry for the temparary highjack)


We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.



We got any takers yet? I understand ECUTune only needs one more order and times running out.

Yes it does. Let us hope the others have been as prompt. I have a feeling they haven't. The 5th is coming up fast here and it takes time for things to ship. I guess I better write back the other people who asked about the deal for the manifolds and fuel rails and make sure they shipped them. I can't wait and hope they get here in time for fabrication. If they don't get them shipped the begining of the week they aren't going to get the deal. I'll have to order them from salvage yards. Amazing how people would rather let stuff rot in the garage than put it to good use. There are a lot of extra manifolds and fuel lines out there because they are non wear parts. They are essentially worthless because obody has any use for them except for me. Why is Tom the only one who has shipped yet?

You keep assuming that I will be "highly tuning" the software on my car. I'm not doing that just like Subaru doesn't "highly tune" the software on each car that rolls off the assembly line. If I "highly tuned" the software on my car and then put it on someone elses car it wouldn't work. I propperly tune the software on my car so that it will work correctly on any SVX in any atmospheric condition.

Yep, I was thinking that you were going to tune more on the conservative side. If the Stage III sales get off the ground, it would be great if you could eventually have a ecutek-style service for people who want to make additional mods to their Stage III.

Hey, can I get that credit for stage II instead of stage I? I think that may be in my near future more than a stage III. 1/4 mile runs will soon blow up my transmision.

Have you gotten enough interest for the first run?

Yes, assuming everyone who says they have money on the way really does.
