You can't advance the timing on a stock ecu...the cam & crank sensors are fixed in position.

i thought the stock gc8 ecu could be reflased using ecutek? i swear people like mms or tony flood can do custom tunes of the stock ecu....

JDM STi Forrester transplant. Spend a couple of grand up front on a half cut, end result will be a million times better than bits and bobs upgrade on any N/A setup.

The amount of money you'd spend on using Ecutek on a NA forrie
would be like wiping your ass with 100 dollar bills.

Dont bother with tuning a N/A

Save your money for a bit longer.. Pop up to JWS in Wangara and buy a Forester Turbo halfcut and transplant it..

Then go from there

Yah, I do want to do that, but I'm planning on buying a separate Subaru to do this. I'll probably just buy a WRX and be done with it. I just wanted a bit more non-boost power out of my Fozzy for when I'm out bush. I do trust turbo vehicles (unless it's a diesel) when I'm in the middle of no where.

No one I'm aware of has ecu tuning capabilities for the oem (gc8) ecu SOR. You're alternative would be a piggy back or replacement ecu, but the $/gain might not be suitable.

Possible piggy back options would be Apexi Safc II or Neo Fuel controller, and an Apexi super ITC which will control timing. You should be able to source the SAFC and ITC second hand if you look around and shouldn't cost the earth. That way you do control the parameters that count and can fine tune for possible exhaust and intake modifications - without breaking the budget.

Good luck.

P.s. If you do go down this route, Anthony from Xspeed or Zack from Cypher industries will be able to tune the ecu for you and both are located SOR (O'Connor).

Mate, don't waste your time.

You're going to get hardly any gain for your dollar. The money you spend on an EJ20T to get 20-30kw might only net you 2-3kw on your N/A EJ20.

Put a cat back on and a pod filter if you want some more noise, and save up for a WRX or Forester GT.

heheh all this "don't do it" makes me want to do it more But I hear what you're all saying and I know plenty of people have been there, tried that and failed...as I'm sure I will by the end of it all. But I spose plenty of the parts I buy for this car could be transplanted onto my next turbo project so I guess it's not all money down the shitter. If at the end of the day I get a car that is only SLIGHTLY faster but more fun to drive then I don't mind. I'm not planning on putting loads into this car so if by the end of it, I've spent a grand or so and nothing has improved then boo hoo. I'll bin the idea, strip what I can and do an engine swap. At least in the meantime I can tinker with an EJ, learn some shit, make mistakes and by the end of maybe I'll appreciate forced induction far more than the next guy

Believe me, I'm not planning on spending loads of cash...if I was I'd just do an engine swap. Trust me guys, I hear where you're coming from, but I really wanna fark around with this N/A motor for a while before I do an turbo EJ. Fruitless, I know, but maybe I'll learn something in the process.
