Warren,
yes there are differences and the Subaru techs have a book that details
which computer
will run with which air box etc. they will all plug in as normal I believe
but not run properly
you need the # off the comp.
The wrecking yard you are using seems to be consistently reassuring people
that
A. we do these all the time
b. have more experience in it
c. and then sending the wrong parts out of different cars
I know that was my experience as well as Rev. Brian in Orinda
They are carrying on the tradition with yours.
There is a subaru guru at a Bay area dealership and he is up on all this.
Call me and I'll get you the number for Subaru Guru

Subject: [subaruvanagon] HELP! Need Subaru Tech: (Still have wrong harness.)
For prospective converters,
ONCE AGAIN, just can't stress enough the value of BEING SURE you can
verify that all the required items are from the same vehicle:
OTHERWISE KEEP LOOKING UNTIL YOU DO!!
I bought my parts from a reputable and knowledgable salvage yard that
stated they were very familiar with this conversion. Well... so far
they've sent me two separate harnesses. The first one took me a few
hours to figure out that it was wrong one. I found out later that not
only was it the wrong one, but that only half of the harness was sent
(there are two sections which connect together.)
The second one came two weeks later, and I spent a whole week
stripping and matching wires only to find out that the two main large
(grey) plugs which connect to the harness on the engine do not match.
Now what?? What else might not match?? Since the harness doesn't
match the engine, is it possible that the computer might not either.
To avoid future problems, should I start over from scratch with a
whole new set (engine, harness, computer).... this time certain to
come from the same vehicle.
Can't proceed until I get some answers.
Does anyone out there know:
1. Is there is any difference in computers from 90-94.
2. Do auto and manual shift cars have the same computer?? Is there a
chance for a mismatch?
3. If neither 1. and 2. above matter, perhaps I can just get the
correct plugs to match my engine and splice them in.
Appreciate any feedback. Anyone know a good Subaru tech who could
answer these questions.
Warren C.
