thanks, but I figured it out yesterday one wire wasn't seated properly at the ecu. runs great now.

make sure your ground on the intake is good and clean, they have a habit of corroding and giving similar problems, it' on the back of the intake, driver's side, the is the main ground for all sensors an ecu.

nobody has had this problem?

I recently did a turbo conversion on mt 91l compllete harness and everything I'm getting a code 44, car falls on its face under load.... any ideas?

i turbo'd my 91 n/a, but used the turbo ecu wrx intercooler and i had to run 94 oct. never had motor problems and the block had 230,000kms

i actually tried 1.8 cams and rockers on my 2.2n/a, no power and it sounded like a v-tec at high rpm. imo useless, maybe just the cams would work but i lost patience and put the originals back.

turbo rad won't fit a n/a it'too tall you would have to change the lower rad support.

did you check your thermostat?

there's a shop in Toronto, Ontario, that can dyno and tune our ecu's. I think it's around $700.00 canadian. Japan Automotive

the n/a tranny holds but just... if I up my boost at all the clutch lets go in 3rd, 4th and 5th at max boost if you want a 5spd look for a turbo and save yourself the frustration of having to upgrade the clutch right after.

my mistake I know I had that problem when I swapped a ver7 into an auto wrx, but the part# still differ from manu to auto? oh well if they work then who cares right?

an auto ecu will work for a manual car but not vice versa, a 5spd ecu will not give the needed information to the trans control unit, eg. to tell the tranny that your under boost and that it needs to bump up the pressure.

rad won't fit a n/a car I tried, the lower rad support is different, use the original rad and make the cap zero pressure and slightly enlarge the overflow spout. make sure you get an ecu from an automatic so your tranny gets the right info or you'll blow it in no time.

wrx wagon racks bolt right in but the splines don't match, I managed to put one in my impreza but I changed the steering colun too (even more work) sti one will physically bolt in but you need to change the inner tie rods as sedans have a wider stance

you can use a jspec sti 5spd with dccd even without the controler it automaticly runs 35/65 split

they're about $90 canadian

i reused mine and haven't seen a problem... the dealer doesn't replace them either they just reuse.

I picked them up for $500 from a guy bulding a rally car, about the pics I'll have to borrow a camera gimme a couple of days and I'll do my best

mine's a sedan, and the 05 sti's have heated seats here now too, wagon rears I haven't tried yet. I put a set in a friends impreza wagon, but yes they had to be modified.

canadian eh?

for sure! now I just have to hook up the heated seats before winter

I just installed 02 wrx front and rear seats in my 91 legacy. They look great feel great (except anyone over 5'9" on the passenger side complain 'cause they're a bit higher, being 5'7" not a problem for me plus the drivers is height adjustable) they fit perfectly though.

maybe they're from a b4?

true... but the simplicity of it makes it pretty close
