Description

Everything a GC8 WRX (MY97-98) needs to run on a Haltech Elite 1500, in one box, with no factory wires cut.

The Haltech Elite 1500 + Subaru WRX MY97-98 Plug 'n' Play Adaptor Harness Kit pairs the Elite 1500 ECU with the vehicle-specific plug 'n' play adaptor harness. One side of the adaptor carries the factory ECU connectors, the other plugs into the Elite, so the Elite 1500 drops in where the stock ECU sat and the factory loom is never touched. It suits the MY97-98 WRX (Australian-delivered and JDM) with a manual transmission.

The Elite 1500 is a two-connector standalone with drive-by-wire, control of up to four variable cams, knock control, long-term learning and the full Elite race function set, sized for four-cylinder and two-rotor engines. It is tuned in Haltech's NSP software, the same package used by the Nexus range.

Already own the ECU, or want a different Elite? The same application is also available as: adaptor harness only, Elite 1000/1500 (HT-140821).

What You'll Feel

  • An EJ20 that takes a bigger turbo and injectors without the factory ECU fighting you
  • Knock control watching a platform that is famous for needing it
  • Knock control and long-term fuel learning working in the background, so the engine is protected while the map keeps getting better
  • A stock harness you can return to at any time
