2011 Subaru Crosstrek - Rev Hang Delete Worth It? And Ways Of Eliminating It

Author Dalbo 15 Jun 2026

Yes, a 6mt 2.5 crosstrek with a decent interior would have me over pretty quickly. Focused primarily on emissions and fuel mileage, the factory. While my changes are still a work in progress, i have confirmed that i can achieve the desired changes (and more!) through tuning of known tables and thought it worth sharing for that.

Finally made enough mods worth posting : Crosstrek

2011 Subaru Crosstrek - Rev Hang Delete Worth It? And Ways Of Eliminating It

I'm not looking for power, but i have the 6speed in my 23 and just like the legacy i replaced its got the same rev hang, and the slow throttle response The new fb20d engine from subaru with it's high compression and direct injection has a lot of potential, but suffers from a lame factory tune I'd like to minimize that stuff to.

After driving a car for a few weeks, you will get the hang of it’s specific feel

For the crosstrek, i think the rev hang is less noticeable than the wrx because the crosstrek shifter has a longer throw, so it. Looking for some help with rev hang delete I have tried ecuflash with no luck and am not too excited about paying a couple hundred more dollars to get a professional tune. On the crosstrek, it is probably best to just get live with it

On more performance oriented vehicles, it is common to have it removed when adding custom tuning for modifications. The revs hang so long between shifts (i assume for “rev matching” purposes) but in turn it makes it hard to run through the gears in a quick manner because it hangs so long. While the rev hang is primarily in place for emissions constraints, subaru cleverly implemented a system to counter act it entirely granted you figured out how to do it Tuning available for all 2012+ subaru's with either the fb20/fb25 or fb20d/fb25d engine
