 Installation Instructions
Sensors – General
Please note that the 3-pin pressure sensor connectors supplied with the sensor pack are a “pull
through” type. You must push the wires through the rear seal and out of the front of the
connector before you crimp the terminals, then pull the terminals back through the connector
body until they click in to place.

Handle the sensors with reasonable care – dropping them may damage the sensor element.
Threads of air and fluid sensors (not Lambda sensors) should be wrapped with a few turns of
PTFE tape to aid sealing and sensors should be tightened carefully to about 20-25Nm (14-18
ftlb).
Oil pressure sensors should ideally be mounted using a “remote” hose to minimise vibration –
a fitting kit is available from us, as detailed below.
Note – Syvecs sensor database files for all JT Innovations sensors are available for download
from our website. The database files are “units-dependent” and the units in SCal must match
those in the files (pressure: Bar; and temperature: Celsius).

Subaru Oil Fitting Kit

The fitting kit comprises:
 300mm braided hose with 1/8” BSPT female threaded ends
 1/8” BSPT taper to 1/8” BSPT parallel thread adapter
 M18x1.5 male to 1/8NPT or M12x1.5 (depending on sensor supplied) female adapter with
sealing washer
 Remote T-piece adapter
 Mounting clip

This kit allows the OEM oil pressure switch to be retained. Installation is generally as follows.

Cable Assemblies
The cables supplied with each sensor click in to place: pressure sensor connectors just need to
be carefully pushed on to the sensor until the tab locks; temperature sensors use “Junior
Power Timer” connectors, and the steel spring clip needs to be squeezed in towards the body
of the connector to make it easier to push the connector home.
Route the cables as required, using the cable ties (supplied) to make the installation neat.
Cables are usually routed to the ECU through the large rubber grommet that the main ECU
cable harness uses. This is on the engine bulkhead above the passenger foot-well. VERY
carefully pierce a hole in this and push the cable ends through.
The cable ends need to be connected to the ECU as required. Cable colour coding is as follows,
although occasionally different wire colours may be used if the usual colour wire is not
available at time of manufacture:

Subaru-Specific Loom

Installation of this loom follows the general principles above, with the +5V and analogue
grounds ready-commoned for connection at the ECU end. A 12-way connector is supplied
which may be used to pick up sensor power when using a Syvecs S6PnP ECU.

Page 5
AVCS Loom
This has dedicated connectors for the AVCS CAM sensors and AVCS solenoids (with coding pegs
preventing then being plugged in incorrectly). On a right-hand drive vehicle, it runs from the
right head (drivers side), along the inlet manifold, picks up the left head connections and then
should be run to the rear bulkhead. For left hand drive vehicles it can be fitted the other way
around if required.

A multiway connector is provided to allow the loom to be detached should the engine need to
be removed. It then passes through the engine bay grommet to the ECU.

Various versions are available depending on whether 2 or 3 pin cam sensors are used, and then
in a generic/Syvecs version, or a specific version for AlcaTek ecus.

A plug is provided, for Syvecs ECUs, that connects to the “AUX” connector of a PnP ECU and
may be used to pick up sensor +12V, sensor ground, and +12V for the AVCS solenoids if wished.
If “flyback diodes” are incorporated in to the wiring for the AVCS solenoids, the 12V power and
diode wires will be pre-joined, but still need connecting to +12V power.

AlcaTek
The AlcaTek version is fully “plug-and-play”, for all versions except MY01-onward WRX models,
with 8 and 4 way sockets for direct connection to the ecu. WRX models will need the sensor
wires wired in to the existing loom and ECU connector – see sensor wiring information below.

Page 6
CAL Switch
Unless equipped with Subaru-specific connectors that allow direct connection to the “test”
connectors under the steering wheel (assuming the Syvecs calibration is set to use that as the
CAL switch input), the CAL switch is wired as follows:

COLOUR FUNCTION
Black Ground (fitted with a Subaru female terminal for the Subaru “test” connectors)
Grey Syvecs input (fitted with a male terminal for the Subaru “test” connectors).
If ordered as a “3 wire” type (e.g. for use with AlcaTek ECUs), the wire colours are as follows:

COLOUR FUNCTION
Black Ground
White ECU input
Red May be connected to +5V if the ECU input used does not have a pull-up resistor
to +5V incorporated. If not needed, it can be ignored but should be insulated to
avoid accidental short circuits.
Or:
COLOUR FUNCTION
Brown Ground
White ECU input
Orange 12V – the CAL switch output will still be 0-5V and any ECU input pullup resistor
should be turned off.

Wiring of Sensors to Subaru Impreza Vehicles

This information is provided for general information only and in good faith. The suggestions of
which pins to use for various Subaru model years should be checked with your installer, in case
of conflict with other modifications. This is especially true of Syvecs installations as the choice
of pins to use is more varied than with AlcaTek. Pins suggested avoid the need for external
pullup resistors: other pins could be used but it the work is then more involved.

All connector images are shown looking in to the ECU itself, with pin 1 at the top right of each
connector. Please note that connector labelling varies from source to source – including Subaru
- so what you see here may well not match information from other places.

When wiring sensors to an existing ECU installation do NOT cut the

sensor power and ground wires – these must remain connected to the
ECU, and the new sensor wires spliced to them in addition.
Generally, however, sensor signal wires will REPLACE the existing wire
entering the ECU so you must cut the wire, leaving a short tail on the
ECU connector, and join the sensor wire to the short tail. Insulate the
cut wire that is part of the vehicle loom.

Page 7
 All information is given in good faith, however it is strongly recommended that the
information is checked against vehicle wiring diagrams and/or that an experienced auto
electrician is consulted.

Note: The MY99-00 Syvecs ECU has little in the way of spare output drives due to the 4 signals
required for the idle stepper. If a different idle control valve has been fitted, AVCS solenoids
can be driven from AUX 6 and AUX 7 (C5 and C15) but if the original idle control valve is used,
the best second choice is probably INJ5 and INJ6 (C10 and C28) but this will then lose the I/C
water spray (if fitted) and the check engine warning light.

The polarity of the wiring to the AVCS solenoids is not critical, but it is important to get the
AVCS sensor wiring correct otherwise the ECU is unlikely to control the AVCS correctly.
