A request from Mark T'subaru

Your Lib turbo ( gen1's? ) with the waic, like mine and my engine is the ej20G, 93 model and as shown in my 92 lib fsm. On your drivers strut tower there is a plate with a dropping resistor and 2 relays for the waic water pump. I could sure use the assembly with the matching body harness plugs for my wagon, no usdm doners here as we didnt get the waic's. If you could inquire on a cost when you get a chance please?

Anyone familiar with the turbo libs recognise what Mark needs and can supply either the part, part number or photo.

Think I am guilty of only ever looking under the bonnet of two RS Libs, one at Sydney motor show another a Kiwi import.

Please lemme know if you have the bits for sale and I can arrange purchase and postage, Jonno

If I'm picturing it right, this is controller for the IC pump.

Just bypass and hard wire the IC pump to ignition so pumps runs continuously. And before anyone worries about pump failure, they make enough noise to let you know it is time for new bearings at <$4/pair.

I have done this my current RS, and on my EA82T with the Lib WAIC

part number for the resistor is 45656aa000
relay assy x 2 reqd 82501aa140

nil stock Australia on both

cheers Andy

so the plate the whole shebang sits on would also be exJapan eh? We'd better pursue the used or Svens suggestion

The system works like this.....

The first relay comes on with ignition and feeds power through the resistor and to the pump. This makes the pump run at half speed to reduce noise and extend the life.

When the ECU senses that you start making boost, the ECU switches on the second relay, which bypasses the resistor to make the pump run at full speed. The ECU keeps the second relay on for a while after boost to help dissipate the heat in the WAIC system.

It isnt really needed and it will work fine with just a normal relay running off the ignition

I concur

OK, anybody got a pic - if only just to tease Mark?
