Looking good! What are you going to use for a computer? I am doing a wrx motor into my off-road car and looking at using the stinger standalone computer...

I’m using the wrx computer and wiring harness


Oh so your planning to keep all the factory sensors and dash? In the off-road car alot of the factory sensors will be missing and I will not have a dash. So I was told it will be easier to run a stand alone computer. Another option is to trick the factory computer with jumpers on the missing sensors. I'm just trying to figure out how to do it without spending the $1500 for the standalone computer and wiring.


I've Also made a custom dash that integrates all the Subaru computer system...the couple things ill have to bypass is the anti-lock brakes and the airbags...other then that every sensor is being used.

How will you be running your radiator cooling vents? I've seen a few I want to avoid but it's always interesting to see what others have in mind. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)
