You don't need subaru to check live data or codes, any aftermarket scanner like Coda, Hanatech, OTC, carmann etc will do it. Most workshops will have one of these. It's more likely a setup problem though.
P0102 MAF SENSOR LOW INPUT - Is the MAF sensor still fitted to a std size tube(~60mm ID)?
P0458 EVAP PURGE VALVE CIRCUIT LOW- Unplugged or has been unplugged.
P1230 FUEL PUMP CONTROL UNIT MALFUNCTION - Did you get one of these? It is necessary. If you did get one then make sure the fuel pump body is insulated and the power and earth for the pump only go to the control unit. Bosch pumps will ground through the pump body and the control unit will not work properly in this case.
P0037 REAR 02 SENSOR LOW INPUT - This could be a positioning problem. The front sensor is an A/F ratio sensor(like a wideband) the rear is a normal O2 sensor and the ecu uses the two to check catalyst efficiency. If the sensor is too close or too far away from the cat it can cause issues.
P0245 WASTEGATE SOLENOID A LOW - Probably from being unplugged.
Firstly, most of these codes could be in memory and just caused by the ecu being powered up with the sensors unplugged. Clear the codes and wait for the engine light to come back on, then recheck.
The Maf code is most likely to be cuasing the problem but it could simply be overboosting. They are pretty sensitive to this sort of change to the exhaust and intake and will overboost easily. (And don't you have a TDO4 on it? This will also not match the boost control mapping).
shit Mick looking at that motor and its a bit dirty it looks like a big job just to polish all that alloy.๐คช

come on Mick.
If you not going to keep it nice and clean, Youll miles well sell it to Craig Torrens.๐๐คช๐
His got lots of time for polishing things.๐๐๐

HAHAHA - only cause their still leaving in the 70s and can't work out EFI!!!
(no disrespect to Stan! The engines still kick Butt)
Camo, this is to keep Craigy boy within Earths orbit! Craigy is a very confident old man ๐
nah, Craigs a pretty good bloke - at least he was always helpful and generous to me, been the most willing guy re. VWs to me - loves a stir though, so you got to give it right back...
Hey, i joined a rexxy forum today so could try get some seats i reckon you should join it because there is a whole section on sensor errors here is the link it might work without being a member.

That plug is for the cannister purge control solenoid. Find it and plug it back in and that code will go away.
The airflow meter looks to be in a larger tube than std but if it was retuned by pulse that shouldn't matter.
I'd say the boost control solenoid is probably missing too seeing as you are using a bleed valve. This will cause a fault code which could be the cause of the cut.
Is the fuel pump controller in use? It needs to be there.

The problem would be convincing them to work on a none std vehicle ๐
Hi
Every time I speak to anyone at a Subaru dealer about what I'm doing, they really seem interested.
Should be picking up the old girl tonight - supposedly error codes were due to a faulty fuse holder which held fuses for fuel pump and fan. Will see how we go...
Be good to go for a blast again. Been too busy to get to using it and taking it/picking it up from Westside.
MAy aswell get them to fix any hick-ups, thats why i paid them ๐๐๐
lifes too damn busy. Looking forward to a veedub event soon.
yeh give me a buzz dave, Saturday is generally free.
Took it for a little spin last night - frig its fun, and fast. Scared the crap out of some guys in an MR2. They caught up at the next lights and asked, What the ***** in that - they loved it. Feels quicker then before now, but that might be because i havent driven it in a while.
So looking forward to the day when I can leave the V8 Ute boys for dead ๐
Hope your electrics play ball. Kinda why I decided to bring my electrics into the 20th century with relays doing the switching and better contacting modern fuses. Hopefully will be more reliable ๐
Simply amazing! I very much liked the way the engine compartment was expanded into the tire area. I plan to do the same with my car. How is the rear bumper attached? Is it possible to post photos of this? Is your rear apron removable? At this point, I have an ej20 from a 93 JDM Legacy in the car, with a Link ECU. Still working on the cooling and such. I can only hope mine turns out half as nice as yours. Enjoy your car!

Do you have a thread for this? I'm wanting to do an EJ20 norm asp sometime in the near future ๐

Well, unfortunately the time has come, way too early really! I've been pondering over this the last few months as some of you know and circumstances means that at this time i need to sell the bug.
My wife and i bought a house in August last year and 'other' things are on the cards. I really really want to keep it, but its just not practical and its too much money sitting there not doing anything. I've also started a small side business which has consumed any time that i did have to work and play with the bug.
I think this thread speaks for itself - im realistic, i know i wont get my money back and i always set out to build the best car i could knowing that i was throwing money away - it was never my intention to sell, but things and priorities change. I have taken no short cuts on this car - everything done is top dollar. The condition and panel work on this car is immaculate and amazing. I have seen a lot of brilliantly restored cars, but for an early 58 this car is extremely straight. No bog, no rust, none of that crap.
I've come up with what i believe is more than a fair price:
Car complete as is: $33,000
Car without conversion: $22,000
If you are interested in the car without the conversion, its easy to go back to aircooled, there is even more room in the 36hp engine bay. Cutting on the car is minimal, thats the way we did it - alternatively you can stick in another suby, one that isn't done to the extreme like mine.
As a complete car you get all you see in the thread - it has been completely engineered, it has rego until November. The ECU is completely tuned by pulse racing ($1500 worth) - the later model suby engines need a whole bunch more done to them.
If you want to know what the car cost me i will tell you - only if your interested in the car. Pretty obvious it cost me a bucket load more than the asking price. I also have receipts. Even minus the conversion, you'd get no where near the quality for 22k - TRUST ME!
