Even before I completed that purchase I had scoured the internet for a complete factory service manual. Thought I had found one and much of it does directly relate to my 2001 Legacy GT-B. Today I have wheels on the ground, brakes and clutch functional, and the cooling & power steering plumbed. September is the month for wiring. It is at this point where my FSM falls short. I have searched everywhere possible in my effort to locate the absolute correct set of wiring diagrams. Having exhausted all my resources I noticed a file on my computer I had apparently ignored. Printing a couple of pages specifically dealing with the ECU I headed out to the garage. Pin for pin and color for color these first 20 pin out wires match. :)
Now I am confident I can get this machine running properly. Anyone else crazy enough to purchase a twin turbo engine is welcome to contact me. Ask questions or give advice. Both are welcome. ]]> CNC_Geek https://v1.thefactoryfiveforum.com/entry.php?1185-Twin-turbo-wiring https://v1.thefactoryfiveforum.com/entry.php?1172-Getting-started Fri, 31 Jul 2015 06:34:32 GMT Ok, I have graduated to becoming a member with privileges.

Social media stuff is not my strong suit so feel free to comment on any errors. In general, I am building the FFR 818 using a twin turbo Subaru engine I purchased on Ebay. It is out of a 2001 Legacy Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) car. The engine management has several challenges unique to this configuration. I knew it would but this is part of it's allure. There won't be many others like it. My plans also include retaining the power steering, and installing a heat-A/C system. Other than this I want to keep it mostly stock for reliability and to keep my build cost below the divorce threshold. I'll post my personal engineering and perspective on building this car when I have something unique to contribute. Given a choice I would rather be building the car than creating a blog entry. Feel free to contact me for most any reason car related. Doug ]]> CNC_Geek https://v1.thefactoryfiveforum.com/entry.php?1172-Getting-started
