BG5A Wiring diagram

15 October 2020 - 08:38 PM

Hi Ive been searching for a wiring diagram or better yet a FSM for my BG5A TT Legacy for ages. I have pretty much every other FSM but have never found this one.

Does anyone have a copy or a link?

Cheers


Flashing abs light

08 September 2020 - 12:57 PM

Hey, I have a 94 rx with a full 96 jdm wrx driveline/ loom installed. The abs from the rx has been spliced into the wrx loom. I also have 4/2 pot callipers installed.
The last two mornings as soon as I started rolling the abs light has flashed on and off with an audible solenoid click. At the same time it seems to be cutting power to the engine, so the car will drive but kangaroo hops down the road. Turning the ignition off and on again makes it go away and it will drive fine for the rest of the day.
I have researched how to check abs codes so will look at that, but has anyone experienced anything like this before?
It seems strange that the abs system is connected to the ecu somehow.

Slanty top mount options?

23 June 2020 - 08:08 PM

Hi, I want to start to improve my early GF8 soon- ECU/Tune, injectors, maybe delete the AFM. But I dont want to go to a front mount intercooler.

So what I'd like to know is how bad is the old slanty top mount compared to the later conventional types? Even an STI if possible. Also I have seen people fit later model Forester XT top mounts on EJ20G's as they seem skinnier. Any one know if they are any better?

I have a few top mounts and test fitted them today. Looks like a 99 model one will fit (Just), though I don't know about the piping etc. Looks like it will fit.

I can fabricate brackets so no issue there.

I basically want to know if its worth it.

Cheers


TD05 full boost RPM?

18 June 2020 - 04:38 PM

Hey, Ive recently bought and done a lot of work to a 96 WRX wagon with an EJ20G with the stock TD05 turbo. Im running a Z4 ECU, full 3" turbo back with a cat and a gated bleed valve for boost control as it was over boosting I think due to the exhaust on the stock setup. Set to 14PSI.

It had a VTA BOV fitted when i got it, which i removed and ordered the stock recirc valve from Amayama. While it was coming I just blanked the hose to the BOV. It seemed to spool up nicely and start boosting at 3200 or so and full boost by 4000.

Now I have fitted the stock recirc valve and it could be a plecebo but it does seem smoother but also seems to not boost till higher rpm. I have taken the boost gauge back off because it was temporary so dont know for sure. I know these recirc valves are supposed to leak at partial throttle, whereas before it would build boost under part throttle. To tell you the truth I liked it much better with the BOV blocked off, but have hear part throttle boost can be damaging.

Anyway, Im wondering what the stock RPM zone is for it to be starting to boost and hitting full boost should be or my TD05.

And secondly, if i fitted a link plug in ECU for example, could it be tuned to come in sooner?

The car goes like stink from 4200 onwards but I'd be happy to have it come in a bit earlier!

Cheers
