Legacy/Libery RS Water-to-Air Intercooler (WAIC)
Legacy777 replied to keppelk's topic in Subaru Retrofitting
Wow....that's a pretty good price. I've been looking for the stock radiator for the AWIC setup for some time. All the ones I end up finding are dinged up. I'd love to find one in good shape so I can increase my cooling capacity. Josh -
People have run the higher wattage bulbs without problems, and some people have run the higher wattage bulbs and melted the connector, and/or had problems. The reflector is plastic I believe, but I think you should be ok in running the higher wattage bulbs if everything else is ok. But you're still taking a risk.

This will have all the info you need. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/Legacy_awic_data.zip The pump is controlled by the ECU. The slower speed is acheived through a power resistor. I bought just the intercooler portion of the AWIC setup for around $100 I think. Finding the entire kits with all the stuff is kind of rare...but you may find some on the legacycentral bbs www.bbs.legacycentral.org -
Yeah....you can give it a shot, and see what happens. The newer TB's were designed without it there. Just count the number of turns so you can get it back in the same area if it doesn't help, or makes things worse. Other thing to try....unplug the IAC valve electrical connector, and drive it around....see if that affects anything. You will have a pretty high idle, but the car should be driveable.

Not sure if you have, but here's the scans from the FSM regarding the TPS. The last scan tells how to adjust the TPS....and is based upon the idle switch. http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/TPS_testing1.jpg http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/TPS_testing2.jpg http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/TPS_testing3.jpg Personally, I'd say with the symptoms you have, and the stored code....I'd replace the TPS. You can just replace the TPS, and not have to replace the throttle body, just adjust the TPS per the instructions in the last scan. Regarding the bypass screw.....that thing can cause you lots of hell. Unless you have a way to monitor the duty % on the IAC valve, I'd almost recommend just screwing it down all the way and let the IAC valve do what it's supposed to. I went through hell trying to fix a high idle that was caused by cleaning the TB and having that screw (unknown to me at the time) bypassing too much air.
