Default MY03/2003 JDM STi - Auto Spray?

Can anyone with the above car confirm whether or not it has the Auto IC spray?

Thanks,

Mine has 2 buttons. One for Auto and the other for manual. I just leave it on Auto all the time.

Nope, it has a manual spray button, JDM's come with both a manual and auto spray button(s)

I think it runs off the ecu, so I dont know if its a part of the uk ecu or not? probably would have to ask someone who has either done so or knows the ecu better

My understanding from when I tried to have it retrofitted to my bugeye is that it's part of the JDM map, and cannot simply be "enabled" on a UK map. The ECU would have to be flashed (or replaced) to the JDM version, and then remapped for the UK internals, fuel etc.

That said, I believe there are ways around this using things like boost pressure sensors etc.

cheers for the info...tis a shame..i've been looking into a few other options lately and i seem to be coming back to the same problem...just wish subaru would create one map that has extras disabled that could then be enabled via tech 2 and the likes.

would make my plans easier

It is tagged as 'Intercooler AutoWash' in the JDM's it's not present on the UK ROM's I've seen.

As said the auto IC spray is a feature found only on JDM cars, and is controlled via the ECU.

The parameters if I remember correctly are inlet temp, engine rpm and road speed.

the auto spary intercooler wasn't at the top of my list of things to do to my car.

but i have been looking into adding cruise control as all the mounting points for the relevent parts are there and when i have retro fitted cruise control to other cars its just been the case of enabling it in the ECU....doesn't seem to be the case the with subaru.

not wanting to get my car remaped or ECU swapped just for CC but if it was as simple as other marques i would have done it...parts can quite easily be sourced from the US, Aus and Jap.

UK cars can have this. It's just programmed into the ECU.
