has anyone done this?


just wondering if there is somewhere on the bulkhead that I can thread the boost guage piping thru to the engine?


also where have u taken the power from to the control unit

 

Power from the clock or the radio, and there's a rubber blanking cap near where the accelerator cable comes through the bulkhead towards the turbo

 

what i did on both counts with no probs at all. The gromit is nearer the clutch pedal though

 

rb5 286,Just fitted some defi amber bf's this week to mine I used the clock for the power etc I fed all my control wires from the sensors thro the rubber gromit on the passenger side where the main cable goes thro the bulkhead and fed them over the tunnel behind the radio and into the defi controller the reason I did it that way is because the area where pippyrips is on about is very close to the Turbo which gets very hot and after problems with my last car in that area this time I decided to take no chances.

 

Just by the Break and Clutch fluid resouvoir there is a black unused rubber gromit, you can pass all the cables through there and they appear just abouve the break and clutch pedals.

Just take the power from the Digital clock feed. as you will not be using this.

thanks people

whats the best stuff to remove for access.

where have u mounted the controller?

 

Remove the intercooler, and the alternator. There are many guide on here how to remove each

 

should have added the cables are all tied down out of the way so heat doesn't cause any problems

 

scoobyclinic have fitted a few mate, give em a bell Scooby Clinic | The UK's Largest Independent Subaru Specialists

 

Or just fit them yourself and save some serious money,its not a difficult job as long as you have a good read through one of the many fitting guides on here,the only thing i didnt fit myself was the oil pressure adaptor as i didnt really want to remove the altanator as its something i havnt taken on before

The gauges and wiring are a doddle,just time consuming removing panels/feeding wires etc but well worth it in the end

have a crack yourself,and avoid paying a garage silly money for a simply straight forward job

p.s i was charged £40 to have my oil temp/pressure sensors bolted in,as i fitted the gauges/wiring and boost pipe myself,it took a subaru specialist twenty minutes to remove my i/c and altanator, fit the sensors and refit the i/c and altanator,so take this in to consideration if you pay out for fitting

mark is right, once you get over the fear of fitting yourself its a doddle

 

going to fit myself just wanted to know about the wiring thru the bulkhead.



another question guys, when i get the triple hood, its gonna need painting. what colours have u found best match the grey of the dash?


and another question, is it right that the passenger airbag is wired in with the clock wiring and when disconnected the whole system is disconnected?

 

???

 

Rb5,
the clock terminates in a 4 female connector which all you do for your controller is fit 4 male thin connectors to the controller wires and plug them into the clock connector I can't see it affecting the air bags and as for colour just a matt black ie black board paint.


if you want I will take a photo off the connection for you and post it up tomorrow

 

yes please , many thanks
