I don't know whether to crush the bead in yours or not Dayle- haven't seen one with the chip installed and the noise suppressor still there.

I'd also be hesitant to go in and cut the tan resistor in one if I discovered there was a chip in there already. The tan resistor should have been cut by the chip installer if it was meant to be.

I guess what I'm saying is be careful ripping into the ecu if you dont have a backup in case the wrong wire gets cut or the wrong black bead gets crushed. I'm a proponent of the crush mod but I'd hate to see someone have to shell out for a new ecu if something goes wrong.

car runs fine

no blinking lites inside....
and truthfully, any hesitation the car may of
been exhibiting off the line, does seem to be gone....
even with the AC on.
Im leaving the chip in regardless, dont see any reason
to remove it as the cars running fine.

Next project, the pearl 92, with a later build date.

I'd say Dayl did the right thing. Mine had the chip and the noise supressor, with no trace of ever having a tan resistor. I think it most noticable if you have a 5 speed but I'm thinking you can still feel a differnce with the auto. Of course it's also alot easier to get out the ECU if you have already tossed the TCU.

Is this mod only for 92 and 93 cars?
I'v got a 94 should I pull the ecu out and look at it or just leave it alone?

My understanding is its just for 1992 cars....
Subaru engineers probably figured it out
by the time 93 cars came around .....
Pretty sure the TSbs only for the 1992 cars.

Smile found at "auto.consumerguide.com"

Hi everybody, I'm a new member and I've been following this thread.
Look what I found at http://auto.consumerguide.com/auto/u...ex.cfm/id/2352

Under SVX "Trouble Spots"

quote:
"Poor transmission shift: Poor acceleration from a standing start is actually programmed into the computer, and can be overridden by removing a resistor in the ROM (read-only memory) socket and destroying (but not removing) the noise suppressor. (1992-93)"

Now for my 93 car

Build date 02/93
says S9 on outside of the box
Open it up to find:
NO CHIP
Black bead still there
Tan bead there
-----------------------------
conclusion: for sure crush black bead
what about the tan one ?

This car has more hesitation then my silver car I did
last month, alot more.

Any other ideas ?
I would of taken pics but my cameras at work
thanks..Dayle
