We ACtually Got the Hood and bumber on (bumper not bolted) Fender liners need to go in and im picking up a lower rad hose tom from NAPA (Ordered one already) And it should go out tommorow, then ill get exhaust and engine managment figured out. I also Finished Bypassing the ignitor I Fitted The BPV and got an Air tight reducer (thanks to peavymart

) I also We did some Connections as i did not like how they were and they are alot more air tight now

ALso Buy, Oil and fiil all liquids, Double check Everything

Your rust is nothing.... I see cars from 2000 with more rust than your car here in Minnesota. Keep up the good work, build threads are FTW!

okay, SO the ECU will be here on Monday (According to UPS)

I really need to know how to do this shrink wrap and if someone has any tips and how to soder and what soder works the best (electrical of course)

it's solder, by the way. Here's a good guide:

The key points are to keep everything clean, and heat the wire, not the solder, to create the joint.

How Would heating the wire work?

I my Other connections i heated the soder and the wire slightly..

hold the iron up against the wire, touch the solder to the wire once the wire is hot enough to melt it.

Aerotech · Post by **Aerotech** » Wed Sep 03, 2008 11:52 am

Ya, that's the key to good solder joints... you heat the wire or connector with the iron, so whatever you are soldering actually melts the solder, not the iron. The wire should melt the solder up to a few seconds after you remove the iron, if it's in your way.

Otherwise, you get a "cold joint" which will look OK, but won't conduct well, and will break easily.

The "iron" is the tip of the soldering gun right?

If the ECU arrives on monday, i believe it is going to be a very, very long tuesday (since i work monday)

Question, Where is the ECU on my car anyways....hehehe...?

94SS_Canada · Post by **94SS_Canada** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 7:02 am

Did i mention i got the Standalone ECU for 300$...!

Bane · Post by **Bane** » Mon Sep 08, 2008 5:09 pm

what kind of stand alone is it?

stock ecu is in the passenger foot well... underneath the carpet where it starts to angle up towards the firewall

That's where it would be if were newer.....the ECU is in the dash on the drivers side, just left of the steering column on these cars.

Even on my 94?

So pull my lower DAsh out?

And find it?

This is going to be fun wiring it up right there!

Alright So im pissed, I was told the ECU i bought was a G4 it was an old as hell one, That was originally hand controlled with a WRX chip in it, and PC link modification, now i have to send it to link and get them put in a new chip, hopefully before Friday, So i can get this done

? he has a 94, i have a 93...
mine is in my floor isn't it?

hmm, maybe i'm thinking of my '96... can't remember the last time i touched (if ever) the ecu in the '93.

lol, my bad!

94SS_Canada · Post by **94SS_Canada** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 6:33 pm

Alright So this is the deal, I guess i need a trigger board which they stopped making years ago because the ECU i bought is from the Stone age, SO my Question is, This im still running within my ECU's parameters, 440cc injectors, High flowing heads same sensors and such, Could i not just try and test start it on my stock ECU, i know i cant be tuned but from my research and in theory, There is No reason why i cant do it, Yes i might run rich but the ECU can do it, Am i right?

Bane · Post by **Bane** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 8:23 pm

I haven't done it myself, no money at the moment... NICOIWRX has... stock ecu for a 91-94 series turbo legacy is tunable.
But the shop that did it is out here near Toronto. Maybe you could send the ecu in for a base map but i'm pretty sure you'd rather have it dyno tested and tuned right? Maybe they could tell you what to ask your local tuner to do?

as far as your stock ecu running everything, it should work, though you may be a little rich? I know Nico had done a lot of work to his before tuning and it ran... i seem to remember it just bogged occasionally and was really rich.

Hope some of that helps.

94SS_Canada · Post by **94SS_Canada** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 8:40 pm

Thanks, I believe my best option is to get it running then maybe send it out, that way if my ECU somehow was good for how my setup is, ill be back, im going to try to Start her today!

Just filled it with Amsoil 10w-30 (until it gets colder)
Filled coolant, put on oem oil filter (in the right order of course)

I can barely type im so nervous!

Bane · Post by **Bane** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 8:49 pm

with the amount of time and effort you've clearly put into it, can't see you having any problems.

Best of luck!

crack out the camcorder for the first run!
