Ya, Hense the micro switch

heres a diagram, wiring mods in blue:

when i had the ECU out for my TT to ST conversion on my 2001 BH, i found the wire at the ECU that controls that exhaust actuator, snipped & extended it, ran it to a micro switch on the dash and simply earthed the other side of the switch. This allows me to activate it manually. I have a siamese DP and the rest is the standard exhaust, with the exhaust actuator open i get a mild suby rumble and when the missus gets in she hates the rumbel so simply turns it off! Works a treat!

Nothing special, just things like TPS adjusting/testing and other sensor testing. In general it would just be good to have the right FULL manual for the v5/6 STI. Did you get my email with all the data files & logs etc?

I have yet to see a FULL manual with those plugs pictured in it. Yea those ones i sent you (one for a BH and the other was the possumlink v5/6) are spot on, i was just after the full version of the v5/6. yea, the possumlink is all installed awaiting a road tune first thing Monday. I have been for a boosted drive and it feels really good. I havnt done a full on WOT drive yet. I am fitting the old ECU and running that data file for you and vwrx dump for you this morning. I have to start putting the car back together for my drive to Blenheim (1000kms return) on Wednesday. So any further testing will have to wait sorry. Cheers

yea? cool, in the wiring section does it have the those plugs pictured above?

Thanks Brett, yea that hasnt got the right plugs (for mine at least anyways) I guess the one i am after is the one that the Link manual must have pinched their diagrams from for their v5/6 booklet. So youd know if it was the right manual as the plugs would look like these:

Hey, after the full JDM v5/6 99-00 WRX STI service manual. Did a good search on CS & looked at all the links availiable yea i have the possumlink one, that is the right plugs and wiring etc but not what i am after, i am after the FULL JDM service manual. Anyone got a copy? CHeers

you could look at the TT to single T conversion, yours is a BH yea? I have just done it on my BH and with a g1 possumlink ECU and a VF22 turb, it was about $2200 all up thats with me doing all the work myself. I had boosting issues using a STD STI ECU, so went for aftermarket, wudnt bother with std ECU. The car drives basically like you wud expect, still that GTB smoothness but no VOD and STI driveability + its easiler to work on and less to go wrong. You can make money back by selling your old turbs too

plug in the diagnostic connectors or... pull the plug off one of your sensors to see if it lights up then

Hey, may be a dumb question but wud BP model struts fit a BH model? Cheers

dare I bring this up again, but when had a 97 STI with bad surging i used this: http://www.imprezasport.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=785&st=0 Its one of those things to DIY and save $$$, plus you can eleminate it as an issue.

not sure if your model has a IACV or if so, what kind, maybe that needs a clean? How many KMs has yr car done? Fuel filter been done? Upper engine cleaner? Plugs and leads been done? You cud try cleaning the AFM with CRC air flow meter cleaner ($20 from ripco)

Ask if he reset computer after changing the 02 Plus check that tyre sizes, wear and pressure are all even and the same etc

man, its a very very VERY touchy subject, its okish for now, but the guilt trips will no doubt surface again soon. God i hope a A/M ECU fixes everything! I'm scared man!

UPDATE: possumlink purchased ;D

yip, painful as it is i wud reset it every change you make. here is that link on knock sensor relocation, i spoke to PBMS about this and they say its all good to do. Infact in rescent knock sensor troubleshooting i mounted my knock sensor on the manifold on the intercooler bracket and listened with a listening device and it worked fine. You MUST torque knock sensors at 24nm aswell http://www.imprezasport.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=785&st=0

everytime you change or clean a sensor you MUST reset ECU, hopefully you did that? Have you tried knock sensor relocation?

Hey man, I had a JDM 97 STI stock, Had real bad surging etc, i did a heap of stuff to try and fix it and in the end it was an o2 sensor. Can you tell us what you have tried thus far to try and fix yr issues cause i can suggest a heap of things.

i think around 1:11, dam lucky really

Sorry man, missed this post. I am in Timaru, SI Wav file is availiable to download as per other posts My DIY knock sensor picked up all the det and the factory one wasnt even connected for that run, so wen the factory one is connected it must be working otherwise i wud get really bad det. Dunno bout a std wrx ECU and AFM, just cant afford to trial and error any more. With this engine and ecu, its simply just trying to det all the time and the knock sensor will be working overtime. If i recall the snap-on engine analyser showed knock voltage constantly evan under light boost evan in safe mode. Still trying to get evoscan to log some more data too.

OK, that wav file is best played in the program it was recorded in, so download the wave file and play it in a program called spectrogram, download it here http://www.electronics-lab.com/downloads/pc/003/ install it, open it, goto > file > analyse file > then browse to the wave file > let it load > then click play in bottom right this is cool as you can see the graph and frequencies etc
