Re: Joe's 1992 Legacy SS Documentary
-Thanks Josh. I'll let you know!
-Done some more work to the car, putting it all back together interior wise. Also put on some Legacy badges since mine didn't come with them.

-I'd rather loose by a mile because I built my own car, than win by an inch cause someone else built it for me. Your car, is your story, so don't let someone else write the book. ~Moog

Re: Joe's 1992 Legacy SS Documentary
-Well I've been dealing with this code 24 problem, it feels like for a month now, and I have had it!
-Thread here: http://bbs.legacycentral.org/viewtopic. ... 50#p341150
-I also found this black wire that looks like it was cut... it comes out of the fender, in the whole loom, underneath the fuse box and it carries power when the ignition is on. I have no clue what it goes to. I'll have a picture of that up tomorrow!

-No worries on that back wire. Someone before me tapped into the red wire to power something lol! Still have code 24 and 49 laying around to kick out so I don't have a CEL!

Re: Joe's 1992 Legacy SS Documentary
-Today I checked my spark plugs:
-Passenger side closest to radiator:
-Passenger side closest to firewall:
-Driver side closest to radiator:
-Driver side closest to firewall:
-I'm getting a code 41 now and don't know why, so I started here! Any ideas or need to know anything please let me know! This is a different ECU (automatic), not my original manual ECU, that this code is coming up on. This code did not show on my ECU. I'm using this ECU for now till I can find another one for me.

Re: Joe's 1992 Legacy SS Documentary
It shouldn't matter that the ECU is from an auto car. The turbo legacy ECU's should all be the same. Have you tried running the d-check mode to see if anything comes up?

-All that comes up in d-check mode is code 51 and 52, nothing else.

Re: Joe's 1992 Legacy SS Documentary
Hmm....yeah those ECU's should be swappable without any issues.
I don't understand the code 52 since it's a 5spd. Is the TCU still in the car?

Re: Joe's 1992 Legacy SS Documentary
-Well the car was originally an automatic. Someone before me did a swap.
-I'm not sure what the TCU looks like so I'll get a picture and get back to you on that. But from my knowledge, it is probably there cause the TCU is where the ECU is getting code 51 and 52 from.

Re: Joe's 1992 Legacy SS Documentary
Here's a pic of where the TCU is located. Codes are only from the ECU.

Re: Joe's 1992 Legacy SS Documentary
-Its been a while for an update and sorry for that.
-About the IAC, it turned out to be the ECU the whole time. So I got another ECU and the car has ran fine ever since. My last little problem still is idle. When warm idles around 1000 rpms. I's like it to be normal... must have a vacuum leak some where lol! Its been a long time since I've seen a CEL and so happy for that!
-UPDATES: I might repeat a little... but i now have RS rims on the 92 SS, TD04, turbo xs dual stage MBC, still have the avcr hooked up to the ECU cause it gives information but vacuum is all disconnected, different exhaust to bring out that subi sound and i think thats about it.
-I'll get some pix of it up real soon!

Re: Joe's 1992 Legacy SS Documentary
-Sorry for the broken links. Its been a while since I have updated this, so I have taken some pics and I'll explain what has changed since my last postings.
-Here is me putting on a better fitting TMIC till I go FMIC:
-After:
-Getting an axle fixed at Slodrive:
-After polishing up the headlights:
-Random pics:
-I went from the dual stage boost controller back to stock for quite a while. Just recently I purchased a MBC to go along with my FCD. I was getting sick of the rattles the 02 TMIC was giving me, so it dawned on me that a friend went front mount and I knew he had the smaller TMIC, so luckily he still had it so I purchased it off him. Painted my center console a few days ago, got bored trying to find out why my sub stopped subbing. I'm sure I left a bunch of stuff out but thats all I can think of at the moment.
