Good to see you posting Beav.

I second the above with further best wishes.

Cheers, Trevor.

Thank You, Thank You. Many happy and joyous returns to both of you.

Beav I did get what you ment its just that the two O2 sensor behave so different to each other. During the festive season I took out the injectors and put in the ones from the half cut I have. Upon removal I found that one cylinders was not as clean as the others and it was not the one the exhaust went into. Also it now appears that the polliation gear, is it the EGR was on most of the time which was giving the car grief with the idle. So I hope I am getting closer to sort that out. So far it runs better. You have to wonder when you get a engine coming up to 400,000 k if its not worth just replacing it, but I want to see how many K I can get from it.

This is sort of on the same topic as I too am interested in monitoring the ECU parameters, in fact LAN was going to do something like this if you remember a while ago.
As concerning your Supercharger kit - are you using the Aussie ECU or an american one. I remember one of the aussie guys trying the ECU chip and it was throwing up ECU codes (don't remember which one) which stopped when he removed the chip.

I have got a USA ECU to put in the car. Still have to figure which car as I might do like some of the other guys and get one just for the SC.
I am looking at what I can monitor now and will let you know.

Have found a couple of guys that build hobby circuts for jaycar.com.au and seem pretty clever so my guess is we could get these guys to crack a SVX ECU so we can down load all the data. They also have a number of circuts to make changes to fuel, air & timing using a cheap unit. I will contact them and let you know how we go.

Sounds good news Tony.

If these guys are good at hacking code, mention the Subaru Monitor to them. It already can read the sort of engine info we need. If they could hack those monitoring circuits, it might lead to a short-cut in showing the information in the car.

Good work

Joe

Yes, thought so. Good luck with the rest of the project.
