Aidan asked me to reply to this. Usually this question is not straight forward to answer, as a lot of times folks don't really understand how to test a speed sensor, so I end up having to talk them through every step. The ECU part number is incomplete (one digit missing), so I cant definitively tell...

Hello Allanw, the combined auto trans / engine ECU's (part numbers beginning 22644) are very common in EDM 1997 - 1999 EJ20 and EJ25 Legacies, and can be made to run just the engine with no error codes relatively easily. I wire roughly one them every month or two for VW conversions. The wiring diagr...

"Crap wiring is the death of any good conversion" Too true. Regardless of who did the wiring work, bodged wiring, bizarre cold start rituals to attempt to get around omitted cold start circuits, and missing self diagnosis systems in Subaru conversions annoy me because they all result in ni...

I can't supply wiring harnesses or other engine management poarts outright (unless I happen to have the right parts lying around - I do have a few complete management systems available, but nothing early), but I rework harnesses done by others which are not working properly roughly every couple of m...

Sorry rollercoaster, I sent you a pm before I saw you'd replied on here. You're right, the speed sensor has nothing at all to do with the tacho, and on the very large majority of ECU's, nothing to do with the idle either. Tacho drivers, whether the old type which fits in to the rev counter itself, o...

T25 Rev counter connection / calibration: Eta-beta, as I've mentioned a few times now, if you're not happy with your rev counter, send it back and I will find out what is wrong and I will fix it if necessary. To complete the story with the rev counter in question here, I calibrated it to read 7000 ...

2nd lambda sensor emulators: I'm interested to know whether the downstream lambda sensor emulator works. Personally I'm very skeptical of them. I can't see how they do what is necessary to create a pseudo correct signal unless they tap into at least the upstream lambda sensor's output and the tacho ...

Filling procedure for Subaru powered T25's plumbed with RJES plumbing kit http://www.rjes.com/html/filling_procedure.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; . If you folow this procedure (particularly point 16, which I ought to make bold), it's not difficult to fill. You will n...

Hello Paul, As far as I am aware there is no way of trying a pinout (or a wiring diagram) definitively to an ECU part number, even if you have access to all the dealer info systems. The service manuals have wiring diagrams and pinouts for a years worth of a particular model, and it's down to the use...

answered on vwkd, as the same problem is being discussed on two forums again

I'm confused now. I thoght you'd solved your problem when you found the split hose which was allowing unmetered air in to the engine. Are you not 100% sure that your original MAF is the right one for then engine either then? It's a big coincidence if you both have the wrong MAF. Have you checked tha...

Hell at least you guys did'nt just tack weld a few bits of ole bike frame together ala Williams F1 lol :lol: Well, I know I didn't. If only these were motorsport parts in the 1960's or '70's, not road vehicle parts for sale to the public now. It'd be so easy then. No safety rules and drivers who ac...

I will not be continuing any discussion with Barry or discussing his products on here or on any other forums. As I've said, it's not the place. That side of this discussion is offline as far as I'm concerned. I have just sent him a letter. I don't mind continuing discussing engineering and safety in...

This or any forum is not the place for discussion between me and my competitors, apart from to quote " Most people know if you have a hard hit in a t25 at speed you will be dead and don’t matter whether the steering Colum is collapsible or not you not coming back." Astonishing! Hey, why do...

The Electic Power Steering (EPS) kit which is being developed which is collapsible and was on display at Vanfest and bus Freeze 2009 is my project. I have been working on it for over two years, and various versions have been on test in my daily driver for 23 months now. Multible collapsible or energ...
