Re: COOLING FANS connection

I've wired EJ205 ECU FAN1 wire to fan control relay, as it was in stock setup in this Legacy, so ECU starts both fans when it needs to. FAN2 pin on ECU left not connected. But now there's one problem left - when temperature reaches some point ECU starts both fans (those aftermarket fans are single s...

Re: BG5 struts.

No, no, it didn't. Struts fit very well. Such lift appeared because of FWD rear struts mounts I've installed while I've been searching for proper GC/GF/BC/BF AWD mounts (FWD and AWD rear strut mounts differ - FWD mounts have tilt which makes rear strut stand vertically because of suspension setup in...

Re: BG5 struts.

Thank you for advice. :)
Can you explain what is the difference between prefacelift and later BC's rear top hats? Do I need to replace just hats or hats + strut mounts?

Re: COOLING FANS connection

Ok, I got something.
Just have drawn the scheme.
Seems like ECU in BC/BF Legacy really operates only 1 speed of both fans. 2 speed is controlled by A/C only.

Re: BG5 struts.

Oh, I'm just trying to set a suspension for my drivestyle, so that setup would be cheap in overhaul and maintenance. Build it preferrably with OE parts or parts that come with stock or japan-tuned subies, because in Russia, especially in Siberia, where I live now - here are a lot of private sellers,...

COOLING FANS connection

After installing EJ205 from JDM Forester SF5 there were some problems left, and one of them - make SUB FAN working. As I understand: 99-00 Forester, like 98-00 WRX's has two 2-speed fans and their ECU's have two pins for 4 relays - 2 MAIN FAN and 2 SUB FAN relays, it switches ON both main and sub fa...

Re: BG5 struts.

PS: I also have an experience in converting JDM Impreza GG2 to GG9, replacing engine from EJ152 SOHC to EJ204 DOHC, rebuilding car from FWD to AWD, but in that case I was using red inverted KYB struts taken from ver.7 STI. I also used FWD rear springs, and they gave a liitle sag on the rear. Combine...

Struts front and rear - yellow inverted Bilstein B6 from BG5 Legacy 2nd Gen. Front struts fit completely, but rear stru...

Legacy 1st Gen 5MT propeller shaft length?

I've found Legacy BC2 MY92 1.8SPFI 5MT FWD - body's in a nice condition, without rust, never been in any accident, but engine is almost dead, 4th gear is noisy, so I'm just going to throw away all the tranny with engine and get 5MT 4WD pull-type-clutch gearbox and rear diff (from GC8 typeRA), also I...
