Advanced multipliers? What are you talking about?


The track day sounded like a blast. Im way jealous.
Ignition timing advance curves. Subarus are hypersensistive to altitude, fuel, alignment of moon and stars, etc. It isn't as easy to demonstrate on an N/A car, but the ECU re-learns, and when I'm up in the thinner air, it cuts back fuel becuase there's less 02. That means, as I come down the hill into sea-level stuff, my car leans out for a while until the ECU relearns down here again. When a car is as underpowered as my wagon, you notice little differences....

Make sense?
I'm not sure how DSM's handle airflow metering and timing changes, so the process might go a little differently, but you'll get the same result.
