  1. That would be my understanding - The Subaru Version (linked below), is designed for US ECU's/maps although they have moved into other areas/markets with some of their products.

    The version on sale @Demon Tweeks (check the specification details) is for the Ford ST250 (C-AP3-FOR-001) which appears to be suitable for the UK version of the Fiesta.

  2. I doubt if cobb accessport works on a UK WRX Hatch . You state "wrx-s" but are we talking the Prodrive upgraded UK wrx  ?? (just checked your previous posts so you probably are)

    I only ask, as there is an actual narrow body version WRX-S  direct from the Factory which AFAIK didn't come to the UK.

    Your MODEL NUMBER LABEL (model code on VIN plate) is most likely GHEAKFD or GHEBKFD.

    On Cobb's website for the subaru edition v3 they state that.....

    This Accessport is compatible with USDM vehicles only, please verify vehicle compatibility in Confirmed Applications.

     

  3. The OEM software can be found on the web if you look or pay.

    There are also links to on-line catalogues....

    eg. https://jp-carparts.com/subaru/cartypelist.php?maker=subaru&car_baseid=F25000

     

    Meaning of Engine Code

    EJ - 4 cyl boxer

    20 - 2Ltr

    5 - MFI Turbo (if 7 - MFI High Power Turbo - as used in STI's)

    H - Japanese Exhaust regulations

    B - 5AT

    K -  Minor change - Revision "B" (MY10)

    ME - Detailed specifications. Used when ordering parts. For details, refer to the parts catalog.

  4. The standard UK WRX Hatch comes with a TD04L version (14411AA710)

    The "From the Factory" classification is WRX-S (not to be confused with the WRXS Prodrive version)

     

    A straight forward upgrade would be to the IHI VF52 (14411AA800) from the WRX-SS version (which the UK did not get)

  5. The reducer I linked to at scoobyworld in my first reply is the same as you're showing in the screen grab.:getmecoat:

    You've basically repeated what I intimated in my 2nd post. :stena:

    The 3"  "cone section" goes into the centre pipe using the 3" gasket and should be a relatively tight fit. Using a 2.5" gasket bolt the backbox to it. Job done.

  6. If you read the advert it states both ways and is the only way to do it at "flange" thickness (rather than a short section of pipe which would mess up your mounting points).- it's universal. 3-2.5 or 2.5-3.

    The 3" section should be fairly tight in the bore.

    Add some firegum in the space where it tapers as you fit it - should be good to go.

     

  7. The Sigma M30's in the late classics were AFAIK retro fitted on arrival in the UK by Subaru UK at their import centre so no readily available diagrams.

    AFAIK the alarm wiring was not incorporated into the factory wiring looms until MY03.

  8. Most in car solar chargers plug into the cigarette lighter (front aux power) socket.

    With most, if not all Subarus this is not connected to the battery unless the ignition switch is in the ACC position, so bear that in mind.

    Some solar chargers (RING / Halfords) now have an accessory cable for use with the OBD socket for a direct live connection.
