Impreza RS Pulley Install – February 2008
by Subachad on Apr.01, 2010, under Engine, Installs
Installing a pulley on an Subaru with an EJ engine such as the Impreza or Legacy is pretty straight forward. Basically just lock the engine either by putting the car in gear or using something such as my pulley removal tool to lock the engine as you loosen the crank pulley. Once the bolt is loose, work the pulley off and replace with your new lightweight pulley.

Emanage Install on an Impreza Part 2
by Subachad on Sep.09, 2009, under Automotive
Welcome to part 2 of the Greddy Emanage install. In this section, I will cover the support tool, injector harness, timing harness, and a little software information. That’s a lot to cover so lets dive in.
Now that the primary install was complete, it’s time to hook up the laptop and support tool. Originally I was getting errors on the E-Manage whenever the car dipped below 1000 RPM. Once I updated the Emanage with Version 1.39 from the Emanage Yahoo Group it was fixed.
At this point I also changed the correction points for the dial adjustments. Rather than having it start at 2000 RPM, I set it to start at 1000 RPM. Also in the software I set the MAF so I would not get any fuel cut at higher RPM. I did this by using the BC or boost cut setting and set it to 4.85 across the board. Realize this helped smooth out the car, but I still could not get on it without detonation. I couldn’t upload the file so below is a screen shot.
I ran with these settings for a couple of weeks until I got the kahunas to install the timing and injector harness. The Timing harness was only four wires so I started with that. Once it was installed, I started the car and everything seem to run fine so I then installed the injector harness. Realize that unless you turn on the feature with the laptop, the timing and injector harness will be bypassed. This means if you have the injector harness hooked up wrong, you will not get an error until you turn on the feature and upload it to the Emanage. Also note, that I only purchased the timing harness and used the extra wires to make an injector harness so the wire color for the injectors will be different if you buy the injector harness separate. That said, below is how I hooked it up.

Unique Motorsports and then some.
Welcome to Unique Motorsports. This site was originally intended to share my automotive experiences. It has since grown to show random life events, tech stuff I deal with on a daily basis, random ramblings and showcase some of the tuning part installs I do in Las Vegas. While I mostly do Subarus as a recommended Mechanic for Flat4. I do other cars as well. If you are looking to have some lowering springs, shocks, struts, exhaust, bushings, FMIC, chassis braces, or anything else installed on your import or domestic in Las Vegas, send me an email and maybe we can set something up.
I'm not the Unique Motorsports you see on Speed Channel.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions or to setup an install in Las Vegas.
