Richard can do it for you, or Peet Morrill's mate might be able to help... you'll need the diagrams for the Imprezza one.

Have you not checked out the Kennedy Engineering Legacy harness diagrams and schematic - they send them over for about £20.

Nope have not checked the KEP diagrams as I think the ECU pin outs are different, just wondered if the harness could be made longer so the immobiliser could be fitted in the cab of the doka and used as security on the VW. Think I will have a play just didn't want to waste time reinventing the wheel is all.

The Kennedy diagram is useful for lengths etc, but to be honest it's a bit 'simplistic' (and they spell grey 'gray'

). I've used the Haynes manual for the Legacy plus some other info when working on the loom. Unless you're very familiar with electronics and vehicle looms you're gonna need all of it, especially if it's your first Subaru engine (which it is for most of us).

Sadly, as various people have said, none of this is terribly easy, especially when Subaru splice ground wires from all over the vehicle into one another as well as changing the wiring colours and pin positions from year to year.

For reference Pete Morrill HarryMann has mentioned posts as SyncroPete on 80-90.

Spent a pleasant couple of hours last night unwrapping the new loom

Still I have made a start and cut my first couple of wires

scarey , some of the wires have different colours and they sure like splicing the wires together using damn steel crimps.
Anyway off to the Essex show today

Spent about 9 hrs working on the loom yesterday, If anybody has the name of the guys who built my loom pass it on I feel the need to vent my spleen at em

I got wires that change colour on different sides of plugs, colour changes at splices, plus the usual totaly different colours to start with. I think this is a trainee job or they were using the wire up that was on the floor

Still was supposed to have worked OK in the donor!!!! we shall see

even if you cut everything off and are just left with the ECU and a bunch of wires hanging out, if you can identify the bits you have cut off then it should be easy to put it together as long as you have the pinouts for the ECU
