wiring loom cut down, help required.

[mrmattyking]

Is any one interested in taking on the job of cutting down my wiring loom from ej22 to fit my Leries ea82 ? I have pulled it all out and it really does seem a bit over my head !!! ARRRGGGG
I just need someone with experience in doing this to cut it down to the necessary wires and lable what goes where so i can just fit it to the car.
Give me a quote if you are interested.
cheers.

G'day MrMattyKing.

Welcome to the forum and the fun of subaru's "lego" style...

For your wiring if you are keen to do it yourself you'll need ben's wiring diagrams that can be found here with my write up of what's involved with this conversion - EJ into L series How to.

You will find it daunghting, but realistically you need 4 wires to make it work: ignition, start, backup power/power and fuel pump power wire. The rest you just trace and if not needed cut out. I did this by following all the wires associated with the engine plugs (2 or 3 grey square plugs + a few sensors from the back of the engine - small plugs with 2 - 4 wires in each from memory. There should be about 4 or 5 of these plugs, then there's the AFM wiring that sort of stands alone from other plugs), taped all of these together, then with ben's wiring diagram - the two pages that feature the ECU with pin out codes and the two with the lists of each wire and its outputs/expected outputs etc I trace the rest from the ECU, labelled and cut from the old loom leaving some good length on it.
Cut out the rest.

If possible do a test run of the wiring before you wrap it all up and shove it in the L. I did mine on the shed floor, just make sure you fuse the power wire so if anything goes wrong it doesn't fry the wiring or ECU.

Here's my test run - notice the wiring mess, it really wasn't that bad once I cut it down and knew what it all did. Label everything as you go/find out what they are

If you're still not keen, hit up either Al at amauto.com (he has a sponsor banner on the forum that you'll see from time to time) or Subarino in WA might be able to help you out if he's not flat out with other things...

Best of luck with it. The L should've come with the EJ - they're a real pleasure to drive once this conversion is done

Tis easily enough done if you know what your doing, I've seen it done but never done it though. Maybe pm MY_STI as he is down here in tas and has done many conversions.

You wouldn't happen to be the same Matt King that went to Rosetta High are you?

I can do everything you want done but im over in Perth WA so im thinking the postage of your harness might make it too expensive... the postage back to tas would only be a fraction of the cost of postage though cos i cut it down real small.

Good luck
