Don't worry, if it's developed to that extent, your not going to be interested in driving on the highway. If your not running the FIA inlet restrictor the map on the Pectel system will destroy the motor even with 109 octane. Magneti marelli make a reliable ECU that also has good definition for centre and rear diff. control on the original Prodrive/Ricardo/ Dave Lapworth box and rear diff. Mines an old 1994 shell with 1998-2002 WRC mechanicals. Don't bother with the Cosworth electronics, virtually no one has the software, though Cosworth engines are still competitive and reliable. (Min of 400 competitive miles between rebuilds) if you keep the revs below 8500rpm. Use 9000 too often and its done in 100 miles or less. At 27k per refresh it's an expensive season, even if you don't crash too badly on most events🙄😔

@TheCluelessYT 2 года назад

Just wanted to give people a heads up, after talking to several different reputable tuners in my area, in general most if not all previous versions of downpipe/jpipes are tunable HOWEVER they will throw cels. The only one that is out there right now is the new GrimmSpeed's V2 jpipe that is said not to cause any cels. Just had one local guy get tuned and said no problems at all with it. And from what I've been told by several Subaru techs if you do get a code (P0420) you can run an 02 spacer/defouler. One tuner did confirm it does not mess with tuning either but could not comment any further. I haven't had much luck finding people who are actually running one to see if it does help.

@jeremyagost 2 года назад

Based on my research (and it’s extensive because I’ve been planning out a stand-alone build for a year) there is NO aftermarket ECU which will handle emissions monitor checks or be passed by an OBD2 emissions test. Some aftermarket ECUs can be connected to the OBD2 port for canbus communication so something like a diagnostic scan-tool will still pick up codes and data pids. But if you live in an OBD2 emissions state the car will not pass because even if a scan tool can communicate with the stand-alone it won’t report any completed emissions monitors.

@@jamesj8348 it’s a conglomerate of people apart of the community who have the relevant knowledge and skills to work on the software aspect. For now if your build consists of items that will now trigger cel’s or if you have a flex fuel kit, your best bet is to either get ecutek, or wait. If you have the money then stand alone is fine as long as you’re okay with going that direction. However a little patience will not only save you money but also hassle from having to keep moving over to other tuning platforms as your build progresses.

The swap seems to work using the jdm block/heads along with the USDM Intake manifold/ turbo and Exhaust manifold. All sensors/switches plug in except the exhaust AVCS sensors, which people leave unplugged. The thing is, my car came modified and tuned for a catless DP, CAI and Grinspeed Boost Controller; however, I was never given its tune or Access Port, it was probably open source. Now I'm afraid to swap the jdm motor and damage it due to those existing mods on my car. I heard iwire makes a merge kit to control the jdm exhaust AVCS sensors, but I'd need a jdm ECU. What a headache man.. What do you recommend I do? Do I have any options or should I return the motor while I still can? Thank in advance!

Am i able to run a plug and play standalone for a wrx in my forester or will i have to wire it in on my own

@Smeedia 2 года назад

You may have to change a few pins on the harness

@dominicdigirolamo5042 2 года назад

For all the 02-05 wrx ONLY owners. There is a megasquirt plug n play option for you.

@Awkward_Fox 2 года назад

This is a good general guide! Would a standalone make a 5EAT to 5MT swap easier? Asking because my legacy is auto, and I'm trying to find the easy way to swap (and a new car isn't an answer because that would be cheating)

@Smeedia 2 года назад

It should since your eliminating the TCM, 🙏

@Awkward_Fox 2 года назад

@@Smeedia this might be my (albeit more expensive) ticket to my dream setup with a DCCD! And better tunability! And since my car is an 05 LGT, I don't have a lot of CANBUS stuff to worry about (steering wheel controls don't exist, except for the sport shift, and wheel speed sensors being CAN might be more). Gonna look more into it! Thanks!

I didn't see anything on legacy gt and outback, but I'll assume that haltech has it being you mentioned 06-10 wrx

@Smeedia 2 года назад

Only legacy stuff I saw for PnP was for AUD models 🙏 but a few pin outs and you could modify a harness

Hi appreciate the content and love the channel but this has me confused. Is it possible to get 330whp with a Cobb access port on a 2016 sti without egr delete ect or will I have to look elsewhere thanks

@Smeedia 2 года назад

Yes it is very possible 🥳

@boxingelitehighlightspromo972 2 года назад

Happy days haha

@blakemorder6994 2 года назад

I'm currently stuck in no-mans land, too many mods to stick with Cobb but not really there for standalone on the stock bottom end. Open source doesn't seem to be the answer for speed density/flex fuel/ ect. Either. Might have to drop coin on the haltech 2500 elite pnp unless my tuner can work magic.

Hopefully thr tuner can work some magic 🔥

2005 STI drivetrain in a GC8 RS shell - from Haltech, is the Elite 2500 my only option? Not able/worth using the “lesser” models (Eg Elite 1500)? And any thoughts on AEM v LinkG4?

@Smeedia 2 года назад

AEM and link are fantastic, haltech is thr only one I have experience with so I'd say haltech. The 1500 should be sufficient for the car

Question: I was wondering if your push to start button still works and if directly wired to the keyless access CM or wired directly to the standalone? I sent a message on IG as well. Thank you!

It's wired to the CM, works like oem 🥳

So when you are referring to ej25 is the ej257 in that category or am i mistaken? I have a built ej257 sti engine that should hold 500 hp and my goal is 330/350 awhp would i need a standalone for that or

You would not need a standalone, the accessport is more than sufficient 🤙
