Quite frankly, we had taken on too many different manufacturers with too little resources. So, for a long time, those resources were spread too thin and Subaru development went a bit static. In the last few years, however, we've restructured the company so that we have specific "expert" groups, one of which focuses only on Subaru. We also got out of market for some of the other platforms we had taken on. We reworked the behind-the-scenes data support for the software so it will be easier to support future hacks and the first result of the restructuring was the major overhaul of the Subaru AccessTUNER table/monitor assortment (as well as AccessPORT monitors) back in Feb 2011. After that, we worked on and released an updated launch control/flat-foot shift feature. And then, going into this release, we created the all-new version of speed density for the 2.5L cars (we had a previous version of SD back in 2009 that was never finished because of the aforementioned problems). Hopefully this will show that we are on the right track and are committed to Subaru.

Cobb/Bill,

Thanks for getting SD done, so now my question is for 16bit ecus, when you say feasibility - "information soon" are we talking weeks, months or years here. Honestly you already explained why there was a gap for 2 years to get SD on 32 bit ecus but right now my accessport is collecting dust and I want to know if the accessport will be of any use to me in the coming months when my new motor and turbo set up goes in.

thanks

We've worked on the 2.0L SD here and there during development for 2.5L SD and it is certainly feasible. We are actually working on it right now. Barring anything major happening, we are talking about months for 2.0L SD, most likely the first half of this year. You never now what can come up during development, but everything looks good at this point. The 2.0L SD will be available for manual transmission 02-05 USDM WRXs with the AccessPORT version 2 only. The general functionality will be similar to the 2.5L SD.

Bill,

Thanks for the quick response, I noticed that you mentioned that if it does happen, it will be for MT, I assume this has to do with the torque cut signal/TCU communications issues that a MT doesn't have to deal with. Anyway thanks for the heads up.

It is just related to the limited amount of "free" space you have to work with for the USDM 02-05 WRX ECU. We would really need to create separate solution for each tranny and ECU group (02/03, 04, and 05). Since there would be very little demand for AT versions (and because we would have difficulty finding AT cars to test on), we decided to stick with MT only for 2.0L SD.

I have an 07 STi with 400whp. My tuner was having trouble keeping my car from stalling because of my intake setup. What will be needed to run SD on my car and keep everything running smooth?
Is it as simple as removing the stock MAF, Putting a IAT sensor in the IC end tank, and getting a new MAP sensor? With the IAT sensor in the intercooler would it prevent the lean condition caused by heat soak?
I still have to get a final tune and I would like the best setup possible.
Thanks!

Placing the IAT sensor post-turbo is the best placement, but there is no way to completely eliminate the possibility of a heat soaked IAT sensor under all conditions. That is just a fact of life with any car running SD. But, generally, it isn't a problem. Usually it is when the car is heat soaked for a long period (such as extended idling) or after a hot restart. When you get moving and get some throttle, the effect will usually go away fairly quickly. You just want to be aware of it and every car running SD should have a wideband o2 sensor with in-car gauge (really any car beyond stage 2 should have it anyway - regardless of whether you are running a MAF or SD tune).

Hybrid mode allows you to automatically switch between MAF and SD modes based on any of 4 thresholds for MAF voltage, boost, throttle and/or RPM. Uses would be for cars that are running well on MAF at least in some aspect, but would run better under some conditions on SD. An example would be a car that is tuned for MAF but maxes out the sensor on the high end. That car could certainly run full SD, but if the tune is already dialed in and they just need to eliminate the issue with the maxed out MAF, they could go with hybrid mode switching to SD on the high end. Another example would be a car running a larger MAF that works well at high load, but at low load, the loss of resolution with the large MAF housing causes issues with idle/cruise. In this case, you could do the opposite and run SD on the low end and MAF on the high end. There are other examples, but you get the picture.

So how does one add an aftermarket IAT sensor and a new MAP sensor for SD with the AccessPort.

Thanks for the help!
I'm going to talk to my tuner about this tomorrow.
I have a FMIC and I was thinking that if the IAT sensor is tapped into the end tank there will be almost no heat soak and it would pretty much eliminate that problem ....or would it be a better idea to put it closer to the intake manifold for a more accurate reading?
And where can I find an aftermarket IAT sensor and how will it be wired up?
I'm sorry for all the questions but I'm trying to get this done as soon as possible. In the past year my car hasn't been up and running 100% for more then a couple weeks

Ok, I was thinking you had a TMIC. With an FMIC, I would go ahead and place the IAT sensor post intercooler in the intake piping somewhere before the throttle body. That is the easiest location to mount and it is pretty effective at approximating charge temps. In that location (or any other) you can still sometimes have IAT heat soak, but generally it is not an issue. We had to run a car hard and then let a car sit with hood closed for a bit to induce heat soak with that configuration in our testing and it usually went away in matter of minutes after driving. Of course, your results may vary and some conditions, such as stop and go driving with A/C on in the middle of summer are going to worse than others. But, it is perfectly manageable as a long as your aware of it and you have a means to monitor fueling (which, like I said, should be strongly considered when you go beyond stage 2 anyway).

The GM and AEM IAT sensors are the most popular and we have the appropriate sensor calibrations listed for these sensors in the SD tuning guide. We will be releasing a how-to on wiring up an aftermarket IAT sensor in the future. For the 2004-2007 STi, you will be using the Brown and Green/Red wires on the MAF wiring harness. For 2008-2012 WRX/STi, you will be using the Yellow/Red and Yellow/Blue wires. You should definitely use solder and heat-shrink tubing (you want to make sure this is a reliable connection).

ugh this is torture i need to buy injectors and other things before i can get SD running since i want to get the tune once and not have to buy twice lol.


quick question, for tapping into the TMIC end tank, do you recomend close to the outlet, or off to the side of the end tank?

It shouldn't make any real-world difference, but, in theory, closer to the manifold the better.

More on the weeks time frame for 2.5L ATR SD support. Could be relatively soon, so keep checking back.

Just got retuned using cobb's speed density and holy **** the car is amazing... Before on the kstech intake there were certain issues down low cause of my maf placement and the large cams, but with cobbs speed density it's a whole new animal! Granted im at the limits of the id1000cc at 20psi but it's amazing how awesome it drives now! Jorge retuned it and I can't thank him enough!

Can't wait for the 2.0 version. I was going to go with the KS Tech intake way but I think I'll hold out for this. Hope this 2.0 version comes out soon though.

Quick question on placement of the IAT. Should I place it before my water/meth nozzles or after. I'm guessing before but want to be sure.

Default 2.0 sd BUT WHEN!!!!!??

bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please chime in on the progress of the 2.0 speed density. I am so far beyond tired of FN with my intake that im about to rid myself of this car entirely. I was told they are about to beta test on some cars, is this true? can you please ELABORATE where exactly you are on the 2.0 SD so I can look at my options. If you need cars to test on I'm very willing. rotated kit with some extra parts. And I have two certified cobb tuners in my area. Im getting tired of calling once a month and hearing the same " yes where working on it and its close" answer. are we talking second quarter or later than that? please fill us in. ALOT of people are holding there breath...

We are very close to testing on our shop vehicles. Unfortunately the reverse engineering process (especially when building new logic like Speed Density) makes it hard to create exactly defined deadlines. But development is full steam ahead! Sorry for the vague answer, but until we do more thorough testing, we don't want to throw any estimates out there quite yet.

you basically said what bill posted 2 month ago...

i need to look into open source i think..
