i managed to figure it out. I had a bit of a wiring fault when i first installed the engine and ecu into the car and blew up the resistor for the 5v sensor line. So i bought another ecu that had been tuned by exit co in Japan. It was not an sti computer but i was not worried as it had more fueling added to it. I have now figured out how they did it. They must have internally changed something so that the ecu thinks that it is 200 degrees outside which in turn will get it to add more fuel. Sneaky way of doing it but it did mean it ran like crap as it was flooding it all the time and the exhaust stunk of fuel. I figured this out as i had the old ecu repaired and it is reading the proper intake air temp. Plug the modified one back in and it reads 200 degrees. I added 5v direct to the sensor pin on the ecu and it still stayed at 200 just in case the wiring was different between the two as i have found wiring diagrams from that era (P1 model) with external intake air temp sensors and they get a 5 volt feed from the sensor 5V line and must earth through the ecu.

Mean thanks for that. Will have to look out for a set now

That\'s the earth I used. It\'s connected to sensor earth atm

Hey everyone, I have a 96 gtb which i have sti 4 pots on and have almost everything i need to put 2 pots in the rear. I currently have the factory sti wheels that came on the car but i really don\'t like them. Can anyone tell me any nice wheels that look good on legacys that will fit over the brakes? Cheers Sam

Hey everyone, I have put a V6 sti motor into my legacy with the factory j2 ecu that came with the engine. I am having a few issues regarding the intake air temp sensor. I have a feeling i might have wired it in wrong and it is giving me an intake air temp of 205degrees which i know is not right. I was wondering if someone has one of these cars and a multimeter would they be able to check to see if one of the two wires has a direct 5 volt feed because currently i have one wire connected to the ecu and the other to earth. i have had a look at earlier model subarus with the same sensor and they seem to be connected to a 5v feed and then go to the ecu. If someone wouldn\'t mind checking that for me that would be awesome. Unless someone knows for sure that is the case. There is very little info about them floating around. Also the car the engine came out of had a factory auto water sprayer for the intercooler. does anyone know what ecu pin it is? Cheers Sam

yeap i have them so i will be sorted. cheers guys

yeah he said i could buy them back so i aren\'t arguing haha. I will one day put a 6 speed back in it but i need the funds atm as i also have a modified 4x4 that is in need of an engine rebuild after the first one done by a mate has only lasted a year before the compression is becoming slowly nonexistent. Was it worth the money?

Sweet thanks for that. i dont want to buy them to find they are wrong. He does rally and i think just wanted the gearbox and diff. I just need the money now to buy them back haha

Hey Guys, I bought a GT-B legacy about 10 months ago and have been doing a fair bit of work to it since then. I have a mate who has a V6 Sti RA coupe who put Brembos on it and sold his old brakes to me. I have the front ones on already but being a R160 rear end i cant bolt the rears on. So i have been slowly collecting parts. I had bought a 6speed conversion for it but blew up the V6 sti motor i also go out of the coupe (and put into the legacy) up going around Ruapuna so had to sell it. I kept the rear hubs but forgot to take the rear axles. I have brought a R180 diff with a suretrac in it so all that\'s left is the rear axles. So the question is, i have the ability to buy the axles from the 6 speed conversion back off the guy as he wont use them, but are they actually going to be the right length? It was something i was never sure about and was going to wait and see when i bolted the 6 speed conversion in. I have tried searching but have found nothing about it. There are people making hybrid axles so they can keep the r160 hubs but i have the r180 hubs etc so why not use them. Any help would be appreciated Regards Sam
