The ONLY way you should hardwire your Subaru's fuel pump (SERIOUSLY) - iWire kit in-depth install

Mittens our Legacy GT build is one step closer to turn key ready, and in this episode, we tackle the best fuel pump hardwire kit for your Subaru, and show you, in-depth, how to install it into your vehicle.
Fuel pumps require a certain amount of voltage to run properly, and if you aren't supplying your fuel pump with what it needs, it won't run at the levels you or your tuner want it to, this in the end leaves you with the inability to reach your power goals and can have you driving back home from your tune frustrated and wondering why your car didn't make the power you thought it would.
This is part two of our proper fuel setup guide, a walk-through for the iWire Hardwire kit in our BP Chassis Legacy.

With the rear interior apart, if you have a sunroof, now is the time to make sure the hose isn't clogged! Especially since Mittens has been sitting for some time now! That goes to all sunroof owners doing this as well! Also a good time to check the equalization vents for debris if mice are an issue. Otherwise, great stuff! Also loving how little rust you guys get there. I absolutely despise the rustbelt, but I sadly have nowhere to move to lmao.

@MatlasDI 2 жыл бұрын

Definitely some good info! Sunroof drains love to clog and the rears are definitely a lot less enjoyable to get to 👌👌she's got a little rust around the battery from corrosion, but otherwise pretty good. Rust belt is tough 😔 seen so many mangled cars come through.

@marka1837 Жыл бұрын

Nice, I went and dug around on eBay after you mentioned that and did find one. I'm just curious how much different WRX/STI ones from that era and even from like 2008-2014 are really any different? You the man Matt! And saying your prompt is a under statement!!!

@MatlasDI Жыл бұрын

Thanks man. I know for bp chassis the gr chassis is very similar all around. Tanner and I compared everything from the strut tower design back through the firewall and they only have subtle changes. So those are probably the best bet. Easiest thing to do would be to pull up a picture of stock and the stis and see if mounting holes appear different, but there are a lot of little intricacies to other items that may get in the way so it will always be a bit of a gamble.

Any reason you didn't mount the grey switch in the rear and use chassis ground?

@MatlasDI 2 жыл бұрын

The smaller grey switch is the circuit breaker for battery positive. So the kit is designed to have it mounted close to the battery where you can quickly get to it if need be.
