  1. Yep, you'll need to match the ECU ( Engine Control Unit ) to the engine you are using. It is normally found mounted somewhere to underside of steering column in the L series & yes you should get the manuals specific to your car / engine to work out the intricacies.

    Can't hurt to do a bit of reading on here to see what others have done previously, it's a great resource of readily available info - that is if you can find it ... :)

    Cheers, Bantum ...

  2. Yep - nice work there Tom ... :)

     

     

    Might want to try something like this for the rust :

    Just dab it on & cover the rusty areas and it will stop it from getting worse ... :ph34r:

     

    Warning : just be careful where you do put it, as is acid based & will eat flesh ... :huh:

     

    Cheers, Bantum ...

  3. Wuh ? No such thing as 'air injection' on a EA71. It's more like suction ... :o

    More info can found here :

    Do note that not all engines came with these manifolds, as it was to meet emissions stuff so can be deleted.

    Have you got a workshop manual ? that would be your best first port of call ... ;)

    Cheers, Bantum ...

  4. An 'Off White' would be the closet match, you can get spay cans done with colour to match, just have to find a place that does 'em ...

     

    Do all the prep work yourself, save a few dollars in that alone - just hard yakka though. 

     

    I'd do a full set so you don't have to worry about colour matching & to be thorough, remove the tyre from each rim & clean up the insides as well ... ;)

     

    Cheers, Bantum ...

  5. Thanks Grayfox,

     

    Have downloaded Tourqe on the tablet & had a bit of a play with it - might work if I can find the right reader for my ECU ... :huh:

     

    It seems that there are a few different types of OBD II readers out there ( Plus they are not all Equal ) very hit & miss affair to get the right one ... :blink:

     

    So it depends on what the manufacturer has / has not used, in the case of Subaru - the best fit looks like one of these :

    V1.5 Super MINI ELM327 Bluetooth ELM 327 Version 1.5 OBD II for Android Torque Car Code Scanner

     

     

    P.S. - I would like to know more about OBD II protocols too, got any more info on them ... ?

    Ciao, Bantum ...
     


     

  6. Hi JesZek,

     

    I've also been researching OBD II stuff myself and came across this thread ( some useful info right here ) & have a query for those might know :

     

     

    Bits I already have on hand :

    I have an Android ( 4.4 ) tablet - Mid-782 with USB & Bluetooth & Loaded it with Torque ( lite ) OBDII ... :)

    ECU I have is possibly for an EA82T, with case codes of : 22611 AA400 + A11-000 R14 ...
    :huh:

     

    I'm thinking of using one of these :

    4475_P_1414486369957.jpg

    Found here : http://www.obd2tool.com/goods-4475-E...h+Android.html

    Comes with software to download onto your phone / tablet then you can do all the monitoring stuff ... ;)

     

    Hoping this will work as a monitoring system ( not controlling ) with more details on my proposed system to be found here :
    http://www.ausubaru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23077

     

    I'd be interested to know if this combo will work, or am I'm wasting my time ... ?

    Cheers, Bantum ...
