July 7, 201015 yr Hey, on a side note, does your ecm have a built in map sensor? Mine does, which I thought would be for a turbo model, but my brother has a turbo 1.8 and a turbo 2.2 and neither one has a map sensor. Im pretty sure thats not a MAP sensor. (manifold absolute pressure sensor) But a BARO sensor. (barometric pressure sensor) A map would have to have a vacuum hose coming from the manifold and plugged into the ECU. I have never seen a stock subaru with a vacuum line, however i have seen them with a hole that looks like a BARO sensor.
July 7, 201015 yr I dont think mine does, its a 92.What year is yours, if you know?. Mine is from a a 94 Legacy Import. Im pretty sure thats not a MAP sensor.(manifold absolute pressure sensor) But a BARO sensor. (barometric pressure sensor) A map would have to have a vacuum hose coming from the manifold and plugged into the ECU. I have never seen a stock subaru with a vacuum line, however i have seen them with a hole that looks like a BARO sensor. Thus my confusion, this is a 4 bar map sensor, with vacume line, which i plugged in to the manifold.
July 9, 201015 yr Looks great! I have a replacement trans I need to get scrubbed up but you're obviously more qualified to do so than I am.. come on over when you're done! What'd you use, kerosene?
July 9, 201015 yr Author Looks great! I have a replacement trans I need to get scrubbed up but you're obviously more qualified to do so than I am.. come on over when you're done! What'd you use, kerosene? Sure, I only charge $20hr and my choice of beer. I use the purple cleaner you can buy at the auto stores. Then rinse with water and finish off with the wire wheel and a quick spray of clearcoat.
July 10, 201015 yr Great work. I really love your attention to detail!!! Too bad you couldn't bring this with you on your next trip to Maine!!!! I would really love to see this car in person!
July 10, 201015 yr Author Yeah, that would be a loooong drive As much as I have to tear into this car, I want it clean when I do. I dont like reaching in to do something and pull my hand out all black and slimy.
July 10, 201015 yr Author Ok, I think I'm done cleaning this lump... Time for it to go back in (and keep my fingers crossed )
July 11, 201015 yr Author So should another old fart stop by and give you a hand putting it in tomorrow? Awesome! I could use the company (grunt grunt)
July 12, 201015 yr Author Got the trans installed yesterday, thanks to capn_r for the help. Need to button things up and then it will be fingers crossed till Aug 20th
July 12, 201015 yr Got the trans installed yesterday, thanks to capn_r for the help.Need to button things up and then it will be fingers crossed till Aug 20th just don't drive it till then. Less risk of blowing something up again:lol:
July 12, 201015 yr Author just don't drive it till then. Less risk of blowing something up again:lol: I dont want to be halfway to Cashmere and have it go out on me :-\ And if something does happen, I will have time to fix it before the Show.
July 13, 201015 yr Author Well, I've been at it again (cleaning). I figured since I had the DP out, I was going to gut the cat. And of course, I had to polish the sucker Edited July 13, 201015 yr by Turbone
July 13, 201015 yr Author wow, polished exhaust heatshields........I never thought Yeah, I cant afford a nice aftermarket bellmouth DP...so this is the next best thing
July 15, 201015 yr Author Oh snap.... Noticed this when I was re-installing my trans. Had a diff core laying around with a good bushing, so it was replaced. And while I had the diff out replacing that, do you think I stuffed it back up there looking like this?
July 18, 201015 yr Author I messed up and forgot to take after pic I'll have to crawl under and take a pic sometime. Well, after driving it almost a week all I can say is wow....what a difference. This trans is a lot smoother and since gutting my DP the turbo spools up much quicker and I gained at least 10hp. You can ask Russ what he thinks of it, he had a good ride in it today
