I intend to buy the AVO turbo kit for my 2000 RS but I am not going to use the LINK ECU that comes with it. I do not like the idea of cutting up my wiring harness, plus the car won't pass the OBDII emissions test we have here in Texas. I really don't like the idea of using a RRFPR either but I may go that route. I want opinions of this secondary injector controller. What are your thoughts on using this as the means of supplimental fuel when under boost? I will probably use the two injector system like Larry Ganz did. Opinions please!

It is a good idea. Stock ECU for <2 psi, and SDSEFI adds fuel for over 2 psi.

If you plan to run over 6 psi you will want a timing controller to go with the setup.

I am going up to 4 extra injectors with an injector controller on my new 8.5:1 motor, and the stock ECU with 4 injectors but the ECU will be modified for 7800rpm redline.

How are you going to modify the stock ECU? Can it be reprogrammed?

SubaruPlanetCom

For about $500 torquechip.com will modify them for us for a higher rev limit. For about $700 they will include a torque chip built into the ECU, including the MAP sensor voltage clamp for allowing you to run boost.

This second option is what I went with.

Email me if you wish to order or have further questions.

If they can modify the stock ECU, why can't they just make it able to run 6lbs. of boost by itself?

Why not just get the plug and play adaptor for your Link2 so you don't have to cut anything? The Link2 is alot better then half assing the engine management.

The problem I have with the LINK is that we have OBDII emissions testing here now. LINK has no such support (that I am aware of anyway). I also don't think that the LINK has CEL support? Will it let you know if a component goes bad?

N/A

It won't have the same connections for them to plug into for testing but it will still allow you to swap out the Link2 for the stock ECU when its time for the inspection.


I thought that Texas was going to get rid of the emissions testing?

I sure wish that they would! The damn enviro-****'s even lowered our speed limits because of emission reasons! What is next...Fart TAX?

Maybe a better choice for you would be to swap in a OBD2 compliant EJ20 rather then the turbo kit, different computer and the hassles of emissions. There are some places out there selling EJ20 drivetrains at some damn reasonable prices.

I just can't give up 500cc's...just can't.

I lived in dallas, texas. and my 99 RS had a PDM turbo kit (VF 23)on my car with their torque chip, and passed emisions without a problem. the motor was stock, and i would run 6 psi daily and 10 on the track with race gas (pulling 13.1's). I had no problems for over 20 thousand miles, then i sold the kit and the car.
