LegacyGTSleeper Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Bringing my new Subaru home, I managed to blow it up about 2 weeks later. Now I'm making it mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 How do you make something yours when you’ve already had it? And how do you blow it up in two weeks, intentional? Looking forward to seeing where you go with this build. Cheers Bennie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of having it tuned, I decided to drive it for a while, and overheated it, blew the headgaskets, and locked it up. As for "making it mine", I'm referring to visual mods. Its a beautiful car, but its just not exactly what I wanted. Steven Edited January 7, 2021 by LegacyGTSleeper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyGTSleeper Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 I ordered a new wiring harness and ecu for the ej20x today. When they come in I'm taking them to a wiring shop to have the jdm harness merged with the usdm dash. I'll hopefully be ready to drop the motor in a few weeks.

GeneralDisorder Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Why would you do that? The stock ECU can be tuned for the 20X. No harness mods required. Those cars are CANBUS and you can't easily swap an ECU in them without serious issues with the VIN not matching and communications with the other modules in the car. That's really stupid.

LegacyGTSleeper Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 Well, I'm new to the Subaru market, and was told by iWire that was what I needed to do. No need to be rude LGTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 That is incorrect. Just get an Access Port for the LGT and have it properly dyno tuned. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
