I'm looking into getting a Perfect Power 6 for my subie, but I wanted to get some opinions of people that have it already.

It works well if you are savvy with the realm of tuning...and wiring

How tough was the wiring compared to a 5MT swap? Is it every wire on the ECU connectors?

How hard was the tuning, I dont have much experience with it, but i was hoping it was easy enough to pick up rather quickly. I have alot experience with wiring, so that wouldn't be a problem.

I think it'll work alright, but may be a little limited in terms of a really complete solution.

I had some issues with the wiring harness I was using, so I think my issues with it were caused by that. But it should work fine for adjusting the a/f maps & ok for adjusting timing.

You can remove/raise the rev limiter. I have a unit to be installed and may fool around with running my redline a little higher, 8,000...

how easy is the tuning software to use? I have good computer skills, but no hands on tunning, just only what i have read online about it.

You can download the software from the perfect power web site. Check out the UI there and see what you think. I think it's more about knowing how to tune cars. That's hard part. I'm planning to leave that to the experts. Luckly I live in a hotbed of folks with talent...

Do it and take a video.

Sorry, I forget what the stock level rev limit is set to...6500? I should know I've hit it enough times! <grin> Make that 7000 then.

Cheers,

Not with a PP6 you can't...

Because it's a piggyback, not a standalone?

Right...

The rev limiter is part of the circuitry of the ECU...and the Perfect Power doesn't modify the tach signal to the ecu, just the timing in terms of degrees.

To be honest I did not think much of the Perfect Power, but I've never used one.

Is it better than a Greddy E-manage Blue / Ultimate or the AEM piggy-back Fuel/timing controller?
