Yep- it pulls power pretty good right to 6800 on the Dyno
with a savage cut out too!
Scared the hell out of me the first time, I was using the Superchip previously which did not have a cut out that I could find. Mark advised I really shouldn't push past 7000, but I never hit the limit. Of course its not really making power at that rev, just lots of noise. Dyno results have confirmed it starting to fall off the curve, but "in the heat of battle" (man those Subaru's are quick) you really need to think of shifting as you pass 6000 otherwise the thing hits the wall on the cutout pretty quick, and all is lost as the little rice burner takes off.

Thats great news trevor, I would be very keen to speak to you more about sourcing a chip like this when your testing is over. I have always been very wary about chips from O/S with the whole fuel and climate issue. I have heard too that the re mapping fixes alot of rough idling.
And since my rebuild i have an inherent rough idle....
Combine that now with some sort of cold air induction and your beast will be blazing...
good stuff!

Hello Henry,Originally Posted by henryw525i
Trevor's original postwas made in March. Somehow this thread came back to life. I would assume his testing was complete last May.
What DME have you got in your car? Is ita 0 261 200 173?
Do you have an O2 sensor in your car? Then I have a chip thatwould work.

Henry - I replaced a Superchip with one of Marks EAT.
I played around between the two chips for a while, and settled on the EAT was the better 'all-round' performer. For some reason I thought you were using an ALS chip after the rebuild. The Superchip seemed to have a lag around 3000, but also revved out with no rev limit that I found - good for not hitting the limiter at Eastern Creek racetrack, but as Mark suggested, pretty risky up over 7000 with the M30. Dyno results by ALS showed a reasonably smooth power curve right through the rev range which confirmed my seat of the pants tests. Idle is still an issue, but I think its the intake. I'm thinking of changing the intake rather than trying to repair the exisitng.
Send me an email if you want to discuss futher
