V3/4 STI Loom Swap into GTB LTD - Yay or Nay


tydon

Recommended Posts

So surprsingly todayi bought a 6s ecu for the 98 gtb Ltd and it turned up with a complete loom no plugs missing or anyrthing (theres a turbo timer also attached to it lol)

I Didnt know what to think was gunna chuck it up for sale then it crossed my mind mayb i should put it in the GTB?!?!?

Now i know its just easier to swap the current wires in the GTB done that a boat load of times but if i were to change the loom i could install a carbon fibre STI dash cluster much easier without having to hack and cut anything. and run a mechanical speedo cable.

Not sure what other benefits there are i know theres a litttle sensor that goes into a part of the air intake at front of car by afm.

How hard would this full conversion be to do?

are there any other benefits?

Will i run into problems with door wiring etc

That was my first thought I really like Reubenh dash cluster he put a v3/4 sti one in his bg looks fantastic. Gunna go see Keith at Subaru wreckers he's done a few loom swaps and done onr personally for his bd5b. I'm sure he'll know what's up

if its just the dash cluster you want changed, i reckon it'd be a lot less work to convert the plugs at the dash than swap a whole loom from a different chassis to your wagon

consider the time to remove all the interior, everything including the whole dash and roof lining

It's not a huge job to just swap the necessary plugs for the dash if you want to swap that. I've got a modified white face my98/99 dash with electronic speedo in my bc5.

Failed to get the clock working though. Everything else works as it should.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
