vettez062002 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I heard there was a mod I could do to turn off the check engine light because my car has a gutted cat and sti up pipe so the check engine light is on and my cat codes are coming up. I heard there is a cheap way to fix it with installing a resistor? can anyone give me some help here thanks Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDubbs Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 IIRC, basically a 2k or 2.2k ohm resistor goes across the wires that normally lead to the stock EGT sensor. Search for "Resister Mod" in the Exhaust section. No, the name has nothing to do with bragging about 20 inch wheels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettez062002 Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 so I just plug the egt sensor. stick a bolt in its replacement and stick the resistor in the plug and its done?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click WALKTHROUGH:PERFORMANCE MODS 3. Scroll through the list... Page 2 you would have found my walkthough... Next time check the section first, members went to a lot more trouble than me to make 'em and they are a wealth of info. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/unofficial-05-06-lgt-2-131488.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croll326 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I just called Invidia and they dont know what I need to plug the EGT hole. They said M12x1.5 but had no clue on the thread type. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users LieutenantDan Posted April 20, 2010 Mega Users Share Posted April 20, 2010 So do you have an OEM gutted uppipe, OEM gutted downpipe, OEM STi uppipe, or aftermarket? Are you stage 1 or 2? Are you tuned at all? What does invidia have to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
croll326 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Stage 1 93 octabe COBB v1.....I am trying to find out what I need to put in the EGT hole. I thought the UP should come with that plug but apparently it doesnt. So I call Invidia = Clueless. I want to make sure I use the right thread type so I dont strip anything.

boosted subaru Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 ^^ It's Invidias uppipe, if they sell it they should be able to sell you a bolt to plug the hole. I would ask to speak to someone else. If not call subaru up im sure they can give you the specifications of the EGT sensor and then just match that up with a bolt at the harwear store. I belive its a fine thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
