The two litre turbo diesel boxer engine has been refined using data logging as a performance key for the car. MRT uses a MoTeC Advanced Data Logger (ADL) to get that extra advantage.

‘Rallying a car like this is new to the world of rally and getting the best information possible on its performance is vital,’ Brett said ‘The MoTeC ADL will be able to give us a lot of information, and the results will be clear to see.’ he added

The MoTeC ADL system incorporates global positioning systems (GPS); monitors oil, air, inlet and water temperatures; along with the fuel mixture and more. Brett and his team at MRT Performance have seen significant increases in power from the Subaru Forester as they prepare it for battle.

‘We are really getting the best out of the turbo diesel engine in the Forester,’ Brett said.

The first round of the Bosch Australian Rally Championship featuring the Australian East Coast Bullbars SUV rally championship takes place at Rally Calder in Victoria on 1-4 March.
