On another note, I ordered a new engine stand from Jegs.  Never bought Nutting from them before but the had a stand I liked. My old 3 footed engine stand , that  my engine has been On for a year!  Decided to fook me. I rolled the engine over to change the oil pump and pick up tube. Went to roll the engine back over and as I was lifting the bar and pulling up on the val e cover the damn thing tipped over and the engine hit the concrete. No part of it was good but atleast it was flipped over and lower to the ground. Destroyed the customer 130 amp 1 wire alt, snapped the nipple off the boost control solenoid and some minor stuff. No damage to crank that I can see, spun it over several times, spun all other pulley all look good spinning by hand. Decided to replace the water pump and pulley just to be safe. $400 in parts and not sure if they will show up in time. $385 shipped for the engine stand with a few accessories like the oil drip pan! Figure i spent that much alone on engine parts!

Throwing out my 2 cents. I use CB Performances ecu on my trike motor. it is completely unlocked and tunable.  the same ecu can be used on a subaru Motor. Mark at CB Performance has allways been helpful with set up. mark can VPN to your ecu and assist with the tune. for a fee of course. i have been very happy with the tune on my VW motor. i can't say what his Subaru tuning skill set is,  but it might be worth the call. https://www.cbperformance.com/Injection-Kits-s/288.htm

Good info !

Didn't you have your suby tuned by chris?

What ecu was that?

not the 2.5 suby. i had him attempted to do the 2.0 suby. i basically ran into the same thing as fabr. when i got home and put it in the sand,it would put me in a limp mode. i finally dumped the old program back in it. that motor is still running in my buddy's street car just fine.

It was the 2.0 suby I was thinking of.

Ron does turn out some nice work!!

This pic is from Ron Williams, he rebuilds transaxles. This one 8s an s4.  He said the owner g'd out to hard at the bottom of the dune and broke the case.  So I consider that bottoming out really bad and I have to wonder how hard they felt it.

i have been enjoying fowling Ron on FaceBook as well. he turns out some nice transaxle work.

DS, sorry your thread got highjacked.  This is the last post on this, when I have more questions I will start a new thread.  Thanks for inputs everyone, I am also looking at MoTec because the shop in Tulsa uses them and you can get a tune for a subi 2.5 turbo which will at least get it running. 

I haven't kept up with all that is available but I would consider Holley EFI. Not the base units though. I forget the name right now.I agree with DS about using a tuner that is very familiar with whatever you decide to use. That or learn to tune/log/tune/log/tune etc. yourself. I personally recommend that. If you understand tune basics ,and I think you do,it is not all that difficult. The bonus is that you KNOW your system when it tells you to pound sand.

This absolutely true!!
