Picked up an A/C unit to do this to the legacy at some point - $19 from pick a part with loom. Pray to your soldering irons that this goes smoothly.
Long shot but anyone know of someone in the Canterbury region scraping a BH/BE with the 'black' interior trim?

Anyone bought an Android headunit off AliExpress?
Can get one for $600~ shipped vs paying $1000 for a decent head unit here for something like: https://www.pioneer.com.au/shop/car/avh-zl5150bt/There's so many choices. I've been considering one, but with the range of ~$200-~$600 there's a lot of room to choose the wrong one

Here’s hoping I never have to use it.
Murphys law, you have it, you'll never need it. The one time you remove it from the car, you'll need it.
I actually have two in my car, one in the same position (double metal straps for track days) and another (which only has a single metal strap) in the boot

Got next Monday and Tuesday off (yay 5 day weekend) and want to give my wheels a really good off the car clean.
I've after recommendations for products and/or methods to remove baked on brake dust (inside of wheels), tar and general road crap

So my reverse camera arrived and I I want to install it this coming weekend.
It came with the HSS holesaw but not sure I want to cut into the body panel. Anybody come some pics of how they mounted theirs?
I am also considering hooking it up to the reverse light as its right there in the wagon door.
Any other tips?
I hooked mine up to the reverse lights, works fine.
If you have a look at the last few pictures of my install you can see that i was able to pass the cable through a grommet in the boot door. Not sure how applicable it will be to your car, but worth checking out.

Pretty sure the Rev D started in Mid 2000. A few people believe that any legacy built in 2000 is a Rev D. Early ones will be Rev C, later ones are Rev D. The production of 3rd Gen legacys (like ours) continued through to end of 2002 but continued to be sold into 2003 when the 4th gen (BL/BP) started. Its just one of those weird things with cars.
My full production code for my car is a 2001 BH5 Legacy GTB ETune II. As its registered, its a 2001 Legacy. I've seen other cars (same spec as mine) registered as Legacy Turbo, Legacy GTB and Legacy ETune II

99.99% sure it'll be a Rev D. Two ways to tell, first is looking at your VIN tag (most reliable). See beside Applied Model it says BH5D. A Rev A will be BH5A
Another way is the headlights. A Rev D has headlights like this
Where as a Rev A-C has headlights like this

Collating info from a few other threads, thanks to @Marky @Rosssub and @A_J_T
Rev A-C you need:1 x 45mm to 38mm 45' reducer elbow
1 x 45mm to 38mm 90' reducer elbow
Rev D you need:
1 x 45mm" to 54mm 45' reducer elbow
1 x 45mm to 38mm 90' reducer elbow

These are tuned for 100+ octane so as @TNHSTI said, 98 will still give small amounts of knock, but is remarkably better than 95. Don't even touch 91 with these

Is the secondary turbo boost controllable? Does hose 10 mod affect the secondary turbo too? I have a boost controller on my primary but a Subaru specialist told me that the se ondary is not controllable via controller and is basically in free boost
Both turbos are controlled by one wastegate. See the photo below how there is only one wastegate at the primary turbo to control the exhaust flow. I belive of you put a boost controller on you risk over spooling the primary in single mode as the boost controller forces both turbos to run the same boost.

Pretty sure inner diameter is 3.5mm, but should be fine with 4mm for such a short run

once you know the code its pretty easy to narrow it down

could be knock sensor. have you had the codes pulled?

Yea i'm pretty sure it does

Can I do this mod/is there a point if I have a manual boost controller on the primary turbo?
having a boost tap on these is a sure fire way to over boost the (very small) turbos. I'd remove the boost tap and do this.
The two turbos share the same wastegate, its a pretty complex setup. Many peopel refer to it as wizardry.
have a read through this:

What are my options if I have a rev. c ? Buy a replacement ecu and rewire it? I read you can’t reflash using open source software but u can do it using paid so idk maybe possumbourne can do it but 1200$ is rip
Rev D is quite a different engine to the Rev C. Can't plug+play the differnet rev ecus. If you really want power either v7 swap it or buy a turbo forester and single turbo it.
I'm pretty sure there are guides for both floating around on here.....

If anything they're tuned to 100+ octane, at least for the bh/be. Not sure about bp/bl.
I use NPD 100 in mine, used to use 98 and have used 95 once on the Westcoast when I couldn't quite make it to Greymouth BP

Hey Team
Went to start the legacy today, and noticed that it was stuttering at idle, a bit sluggish to rev and the CEL was going on/off in time with the stuttering. When it got past ~1500rpm it reved fine, boosted fine ect.
When I got home, checked the codes using ny OBDII reader - that gave P0340 - Cam angle sensor. When I checked the CEL light, it gave 15 - Injector #2.
I'm guessing that later is caused by the former? I had a look at the cam sensor, connection and plug seemed fine, had a quick go at getting it off, but it looks like a total PITA so will just get someone else to do it for me....
My main question is, is it safe to drive with the sensor malfunctioning?
Also need spark plugs done.... so might get that done too...

Are you sure... I know that the Etune Legacys have a longer final ratio, not sure how/if that will effect the ratios of the difs...
