Subaru say the immobilizer isn't part of the ecu.They say it's hard wired seperate to the ecu but so far the wires I've traced look like it does go to the ecu which throws my theory out of the window because I've literally had an email from Andy carr say that the ecu is key coded and he carnt by pass it. So is an aftermarket ecu going to do the job because I carnt find the right reciever so far.i don't want to buy an aftermarket ecu and still be in the same situation
There are some 30 odd pages in the diagnostics manual for the immobiliser. many are just checking the circuit connections but a number require the use of subaru select monitor to carry out

MY97 Turbo model ECU pinouts
Diagrams show two configurations (with or without immobiliser) for connections to Crankshaft sensor, Camshaft sensor and fuel pump relay circuits.
By changing these over it probably bypasses the IMM circuitry as per JDM ???

Subaru would be correct, the immobilizer module is separate but connected and coded through/via the ECU.

Your running into minefield here iirc they are purple and with the 6s ecu it is orange and a different plug. Then you've your injectors, turbo and pinouts etc to sort out. Ring that man I gave you the number for

Glad you got sorted was talking to Steve and he said he would send you an ecu. If you are going to this expense you'd be as well getting yourself some 440 injectors as a starting point.

If your happy with what you have and just want to get it running leave well alone. If your planning on any mods that will probably be your first stumbling block. Then its a very slippery and expensive slope

1997 Turbo 2000 will have a 3-plug 8S ECU.
If you're having ESL fitted though, the immobiliser functionality is bypassed by the ESL board.

My advice if going maffless and esl is check the IAT sensor has been wired up correctly and (if you have the cable) check the compensation tables are set up,you could always ask the mapper for a look.
btw
having a cable is very useful for datalogging and you can even have yourself some live data to view.
