Chip tuning for Subaru Legacy 2.0i 165 hp ECU
Subaru Legacy (2003) 2.0i 165 hp — mass-market petrol engine of the passenger segment of the Subaru Corporation (Toyota владеет 20%) group (Япония, 1953). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 165 to 175 hp (+10 hp, +6%) and torque from 187 to 200 Nm (+13 Nm). The 2003 generation — old-era petrol ECUs (ME7/ME9/MED9/Simos) with easily readable memory.
The boxer (flat) layout is Subaru's signature engine architecture. STI (Subaru Tecnica International) is the performance division that builds the WRX STI. Subaru uses permanent all-wheel drive (AWD) on most of its models. Subaru's petrol range comprises naturally aspirated and turbo flat engines. On the naturally aspirated Subaru Boxer, Stage 1 delivers a modest gain. The WRX and WRX STI are the flagship of the brand's turbo segment.
The Subaru community in JDM and rally culture is the largest for the WRX/STI. Mid-range Subaru models use naturally aspirated Boxer engines with a conservative calibration.
