Building a fun 'track day' Subaru Impreza GC8 that can still serve as a nice daily driver.
Subaru Impreza GC8 Gets Canbus Keypad
The @ECUMaster Canbus Keypad has endless possibilities when it comes to configuring advanced functions.
Tons of progress is made in this episode as we remove the old engine bay wiring harness and cabin side harness. We then move on to installing the brand new concentrically twisted, motorsport grade, engine bay and cabin side harness. The ECUMaster PMU16 with its adapter harness gets installed and configured. And the icing on the cake is when we install the Canbus keypad and Yotam shows off some of its features and functionality.
This is a huge upgrade for my daily driven Subaru Impreza GC8 since all these modifications add simplicity, reliability, advanced functions and over all makes the car a lot more modern and FUN!
Hope you enjoy!

@@TheGCJourney i have it on my tube channel
What cams did you go with? Sounds good!
@@MinhDangcraft KELFORD 272 CAMS 😋😋😋
What is name of the smallest tape outside
I’m not sure if you’re referring to the yellow capton tape or the Kevlar string that wraps around the top layer of the harness.
So 3 point of connection for canbus, pmu, ecu and keyboard. Where did you connect them all? Just a near the pmu?
@@damnitdang There’s one point near the bulkhead connector on the cabin side. There are a few coming for the PMU sub harness (for keypad, ECU harness and can-to-usb adapter) and there’s another Canbus connection that goes from the Haltech ECU directly to the Wideband controller but we still need to find a more elegant solution for that.
@thegcjourney Is there's anyway to program the pmu so some outputs are constant hot? What if we made the pmu16 power up input constant hot and set it so when the Key power input loses power those allocated outputs remain powered up. I'm installing one into a customers car now. It's my first time with pmu16
@@cameronnorris5104 Yotam tells me that it’s not a problem. Outputs can be used as (30) constant powered. Usually only the keypad gets that output to make sure nothing else is powered if unintended.
Good on ya mate, CONGRATS! Looks awesome! Hands down the best shape subie ever made.... I hope you still have it? ALSO: 4 door over 2 doors any day... They look the perfect length, width and just bad ass like a small Pit Bull... The coupe is heavily overrated and im gonna say it, UGLY.... Like a Sausage Dog..
Still have it and still planning on making more helpful videos 😊
Hi, im installing link plug in ecu and wondering if I install this do I need to connect this to stock purge valve solenoid or bypass it? And thanks for the great contect!
Generally when moving to an aftermarket ECU a lot of sensors and solenoids can be bypassed/deleted. It’s really up to you and what best suits your needs/goal.
Please ditch the music, absolutely crap, hard to watch in places.
Can’t please everyone but noted. Thanks for the feedback.
XD helpful
Glad to help! 😊
@@TheGCJourney actually i was ironic, but dont worry i was mad because i loose every bolt and cant separate engine from gearbox and looking for solution but in this video was no answer. Good luck
@@Maximus123pl Ahh sorry, not that type of video 😅
Thank you for these vids am doing the same thing
I’m happy to help! 😊
Are the head's 205 ? And what intake manifold is that
WRX non AVCS heads with 07 DBW intake manifold.
Thanks again man clean build You are an inspiration
@@trevinogodfrey8002 Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏼
Did you machine the block to #5 thrust or is it#3
@@trevinogodfrey8002 Not sure to be honest. My engine builder did the short block back in 2017 and I wasn’t around to monitor the work being done 😅
Did you put a fuse in the engine bay? If so, what model/size and amps?
The battery feed goes through the factory main fuse that the alternator was originally connected to.
The best and the beast lotan
ej20g closed deck
hey what block is that great build
Thanks! It’s an old EJ20G CDB
Thanks man am planning on doing the same thing to mine
@@trevinogodfrey8002 I think today I would have gone with a built EJ207 SCD. It being a newer block and perfectly capable of supporting up to 600WHP (when properly built). The EJ20G are old and with their age problems can occur.
Are bigger pipes needed for single breathers like ej22 and 205 or better catch cans
I can’t say I’m an expert but from what I understand, you always want the hose diameter to increase as it makes it’s way to the cans and not decrease so as not to create a lower pressure point.
@@TheGCJourney thanks a lot the guy keep popping his dipstick with the ej22
Just watched this video today, I hope there will be update soon about the project cheers
Definitely will be! There have been a few delays but parts are arriving and we will continue making progress soon!
Informative
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Will This solenoid heat soak effect my boost
Heat soak in general can effect boost but I’m not aware of the possibility that the solenoid itself can suffer from heat soak.
@@TheGCJourney Cause u realise This solenoid once get heat soak runing underboost once we going The highways everythijg back to normal
@@TheGCJourney i been planing relocated The solenoid at bottom bumper since my engine alot heat
So no hose clamps on the tubing from the ebcs??
The tubing and clamping can vary all the way from silicone hoses with zip ties to braided lines with an fittings. It all depends on the application.
GFB !
Definitely a viable option! 👌🏼
"And C is just another letter." *SUBBED*
I’m glad at least one person found that funny 🤣🤣🤣
I just got a gc8 and when I looked at your content I found it very helpful. This gave me a more ideas… thank you and keep making these content man👌👌
Thank you for the kind words! I hope you find the future videos just as helpful 😊🙏🏼
@@TheGCJourney I just bought a gc8 so I’m learning by watching your videos😄😍
Would love to see the canpad working with the Haltech :D
We’re considering doing an in depth video about the subject so we’ll see when we get to it 😊
amazing work, I would definitely like to see all the details you can show, because I'm going to do the same on my scooby. I'm curious to know if the PMU 16 will be able to do everything. Thank you very much for your videos.
We’re considering doing another video on the PMU or perhaps a Q&A video. We’ll see 😊
is it right that the valve constantly tick even at idle?
If you have a constant tick then most likely the solenoid wasn’t configured properly in the software.
I have a MAC 3 port, I thought it was run by my ECU electronically? Is it possible that I have the wires around the wrong way? It’s a MAC 3 35A-AAA-DDBA-1BA
@@TheGCJourney so I tried reversing the wires, that didn’t help. So I put in the original… that also ticks constantly!? Doesn’t seem normal to me… but I’m no expert..
that engine bay is so sexy
Thank you 🙏🏼
Looks nice enjoy!
Thanks 😊
סרטון אליפות אחי 🔥 מחכה כבר לפרק הבא💪🏻
תודה רבה יא מלך ❤️❤️❤️
what stroker did you use to work with the ej20g?
We used an STI 79mm crank, Manely rods and CP pistons.
😅
I wonder if all the long blocks of ej20 can be replaced? I have a v4 sti, can I exchange the long block of vab ?
I'm not 100% sure to be honest since I know there are slight differences between model years I just don't know if they're differences that can't be overcome easily.
Great. As if the dashboard long screen wasn't enough of a distraction, now you got little flashing lights under the screen too.
Disco disco good good 😊
How do you like the chase bays kit ? Any pros / cons
I really like the reservoir, it's very well made! The reservoir fittings and the steering rack fittings seem to be challenging in the way that I can't seem to get them tightened down enough. I'm not sure what the solution is but I'm looking into using different fittings and making my own lines since the ones in the kit are a bit too long for my liking. But all in all it works! 😊
@@TheGCJourney do you notice any issues with lack of response when driving hard etc
@@TheeHenley I haven't. Seems to work fine for me
Hi, Do you know if the pmu can be connected to the original steering column switch? Thanks
If you are referring to the key barrel switch then yes! 😊
Thanks for the reply. I'm referring to the indicator and light switches. to try to make it more original instead of using keypad buttons
@@fernandobranco9590 Yes, they can also be connected.
Thank you very much for confirming this to me. I will probably follow your footsteps and do the same. I saw the other videos you made, and I have been following the process. Could you leave or show the measurements of the wires you made your harness? You help us all with your videos, very good work, thank you for that.👍
@@fernandobranco9590 If you go back to the first episode in the engine bay harness series you will see at 7:35 a chart with all the components and measurements but I wouldn't recommend using it since every engine bay is different, sensors will usually be in different places and there's no guarantee the layout for my engine bay will suit other engine bays.
Thanks a lot!! This saved me from removing the shifter lockout pin.
Happy to help! ☺
Loving the videos. As a car and wiring nerd the longer and more detailed the better in my eyes 😊
I’m glad to hear because there’s still lots more nerdy stuff coming
You are using Haltech Elite ECU. Why you dont choose Haltech PMU? Is ECUmaster PMU universal?
Yes, it’s universal, more flexible and slightly more powerful with more AMPS per output.
Great video as always ! Length wise i think it was great and very informative as always ! Keep up the great job 😊
Thank you my friend! 🙏🏼❤️
Glad your ok.

Te valen los amortiguadore de gc8 en las manguetas traseras de sti?
I’m sorry I don’t understand 😅
a million ways to skin every cat, but be careful driving fasteners in with an impact. it seems it came out fine, but imagine blowing out one of the female threads on the crank doing this job, what would you do? for disassembly its fine 99 percent of the time, for assembly its rarely the right tool sinking stuff. someone else mentioned tightening stuff down from each/all sides as evenly as possible, or a cross pattern to keep it simple. also when you split an engine on a street car like this its always a great idea to replace the rear main seal and the inspection plate, when they leak and you have to do all this again its annoying as heck. great job though and thank you for sharing, please dont take my words as a negative, i saw you commented you are not a professional mechanic, so i am just offering tips as one. and prop or driveshaft you are right who cares, as long as everyone understands each other its all good, as i find history interesting, i will let you know the manufacturers that started with boats continued into road vehicles using the term prop shaft or propeller shaft, road manufacturers that started there just referred to it as a driveshaft 😊 thank you again for sharing, cool old subie ✌️
also two solutions to blowing out a fastener on the crank: use a slightly larger tap and bolt and pray it works, or weld it all in, center tap and drill it out and tap to oem size. ive done both, and would rather not have. in a high torque area like this i dont think any nutzert or rivetnut or anything like that would be acceptable. live and learn they say..
Hey man, thank you for all the useful tips! I'm always open to learn from others with more experience than me. Cheers 😊
This looks soooo satisfying! I have a V4 Type R that needs fixing up and this is real inspiration.
Thank you sir! Definitely GO FOR IT!! 💪🏼

Hi again, so Im finding myself in a very difficult situation because of the unavailability of h2 bulbs which came for the inner optics. What are your suggestions for that. Is there an adapter of some sort to use h3 bulb in h2 socket
If I’m not mistaken the new version of the inner optics come with easier to find h7 bulbs. Maybe grab a set. Alternatively you could send Morette an email or message them on Instagram and ask them if they have a solution.
