  1. I had a similar issue on a different vehicle and used loctite 660. It’s holding up good after 6 months.
  2. I’m having a similar issue with my 09. It appears my ecu has a different model eeprom with a different storage capacity. I’m still working through the code and confirming, but I’m guessing the code needs to assign a different address sequence for the different chip. Can you get a clear pic of the eeprom model? Mine is an S93C86. The code was written for a BR93L56. The 56 is a 2Kbit capacity and the 86 is a 16Kbit capacity.
  3. I also have to think hard braking would be problematic. Either the rear is going to lock up or a hard front would result in a face plant.

  5. Surprised no mention of Mahle. Subie-performance is a strong advocate. (See 5 min in)
  6. I just replaced my ECM to fix a P0032 CEL and wanted to share my experience. Thought this might help someone else with the same code or replacing an ECM for a different reason. Having a custom tune and Cobb AP adds more complexity. CEL Code: P0032 front O2 sensor heater control circuit high input Cause: Front O2 sensor wires shorted and damaged ECU AF circuit. I recently installed a Killerb ELH and needed to lengthen the O2 harness. I used two O2 sensors to make a new longer harness by cutting a old one close to the sensor and a good one close to the connector. For my splice, I used high quality crimped connectors, shrink tubing and covered with high temp sheathing. I also made sure the splice was secured several inches from the header. Eventually the shrink tubing completely melted and the wires made contact, causing the O2 heating current to short the ECM signal circuit. O2 sensor fix: Purchased a new sensor ($133) and an O2 extension wire harness ($19). ECM Replacement: 1. I purchased a new ECM ($496) 2. Scheduled a 1 hour service with a Subaru dealer ($125) 3. Pulled back pass carpet and removed ECM shield (not necessary but made the swap faster) 4. Drove to dealer with tools, ECM, Cobb AP, all keys and key security code (on metal keychain tag) 5. Arrived 30 min early to explain the situation (they reluctantly agreed to help) 6. Service tech pulled car into service bay with me in the car 7. (Me) Unmarried Cobb AP and loaded factory tune 8. (Me) Disconnected battery 9. (Me) Swapped ECM 10. (Me) Connected battery 11. Service tech performed registration of immobilizer and programmed keys (key security code was helpful) 12. (Me) Remarried Cobb AP and custom tune 13. (Me) Checked all keys and confirmed no codes (Note: tech said he likely wouldn’t been able to register a used / previously registered ECM) Alternative Options: 1. ECM repair (estimated $250 and 7 day turnaround, but they didn’t sound professional on the phone and couldn’t find anyone reporting success) 2. Swap immobilizer chips (I have good soldering experience, but still seemed risky) 3. Read and flash immobilizer data (Would need to brush up on scripting skills and saw mixed success) Overall, this wasn’t as bad as expected, but it sucks being at the mercy of the dealer. It was an expensive ($750) and time consuming lesson I hope to never make again. The service tech was pretty cool, but the service manager told him “never agree to do again”. He said they’ve been burned too many times with Cobb AP situations.
  7. Here is a version from a builders perspective.
  8. I just replaced the knuckles and avoided all the drama. Doesn’t cost a lot more if you avoid buying a special ball joint puller and value your time.
  9. What kind of g/s MAF numbers are you running? I was under the impression headers are marginally beneficial until you’re in the 300+ g/s range. Curious if the GS / ELH / stock comparison would yield different results at higher air flows.
  10. Good recommendation. I would add front o2 sensor to the list.
  11. Thanks! I just purchased whiteline roll center kit and LCA bushings. New wheels/tires have been waiting for suspension upgrades since march. Hopefully I will get a chance to get everything installed and aligned over the next couple of weeks. Then on to turbo, injectors, pump and catback.
