#21042 of 21504 Re: performance upgrade on 2007 spec b [mksenak] by paisan Aug 06, 2008 (4:19 pm)
Replying to: mksenak (Jul 24, 2008 5:51 pm) How much horse and torque increase would one get changing the maps with a Cobb vs just adding subaru performance package? Not a whole lot, the Cobbs are really setup for a Turbo-back setup which includes a downpipe as well as the catback. The SPT is only a cat-back exhaust. The Cobb with the Turbo-back exhaust yields 305hp/385lbs at the crank v. 253hp/260ishlbs at the crank stock. -mike

Anything going on w/Subie these days? And whatever happened to Subaru getting some hybrid tech. in exchange for battery tech from Fuji? Replies to this message: ateixeira (Nov 18, 2008 1:30 pm) volkov (Nov 18, 2008 2:20 pm) once_for_all (Nov 18, 2008 2:37 pm) and 11 more...

Has anyone seen spy pics or heard any details about the upcoming 2010 models?

Replying to: rblnr (Nov 17, 2008 6:43 am) They're actually measuring interest in diesels. I got a survey asking all sorts of questions (we just bought an 09 Forester Limited). So I doubt a hybrid will appear any time soon.

Replying to: ateixeira (Nov 18, 2008 1:30 pm) They need to clean them up first, but that development step would be much cheaper and faster than a hybrid drive.

Replying to: volkov (Nov 18, 2008 2:20 pm) I'm holding off until there is a diesel option...my '03 Forester is still strong after 90k, no issues whatsoever...no worries at all. So I'm patiently waiting.

Replying to: once_for_all (Nov 18, 2008 2:37 pm) Around here, though, diesel is over $3 and regular gas is under $2. Even the best diesels can't compensate for a 50% plus cost disadvantage. This is crazy. Maybe diesel prices will die down once everyone gets all their heating oil. Replies to this message: xwesx (Dec 01, 2008 4:36 pm)

Replying to: ateixeira (Dec 01, 2008 1:41 pm) I am under the impression that road diesel is so expensive because of the new ULSD requirement. Here in Fairbanks, diesel is $3.70 per gallon today (reg unleaded is $2.64) and #1 heating oil is under $2.50/gal (not sure of the exact number). I am pretty sure that road diesel is no longer refined locally so it has to be shipped in while the gasoline is refined about 15 miles away. If there are fewer refineries making the stuff, and it is more expensive/intensive to create, it is going to cost more.

Replying to: once_for_all (Nov 18, 2008 2:37 pm) Why? At fuel costing now $1/gal more (or 50%) where are the savings? Let's see, you get: 1. Awkwardly short powerband 2. Increased engine noise 3. Clunky noise (have you every compared gas to diesel) 4. Increased and unfamiliar maintenance Yeah makes perfect sense. Just as much as first hybrids did at 5 grand over sticker.
