Dinky26 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Is it possible to install a Subaru Cruise Control unit in a Gen2 Brat GL? It is labled to work for all GL models. Just wondering if it is possible now that I have converted it with a Weber Carb. If not then I will be looking to sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Yeah, should be possible. You'll need to add switches to the clutch pedal and brake. And you'll need to hook up a wire to the VSS in the speedo head (all gen 2's should have them) All hook ups Clutch and brake switches looped (opens a switch breaks circuit when either pedal is pushed canceling cruise) Brake light swtich (seperate from loop.....cancels cruise when 12v from brake lights present, redundant) Tach VSS 12v+ (power on) Ground Everything else is wired to the unit already (actuator assembly) Might need an extra vac resevior if the kit doesn't have one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odie Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 my brat has some switches and control stalk...but I think the rest has long been gutted... I was actually surprized it was even available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually surprized it was even available... You can hook up those switches to an EJ cruise computer, pump, and cable actuator. Looks totally stock but works like new. Doesn't even need to be an EJ engine just hook up VSS and Tach and wires to clutch/brake pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odie Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I don't even think my 85 has an ECM...where I think it's supposed to be mounted (under the steering column) there is nothing. From what I've seen posted and such it's my belief that the 85 Brat has a computer module but there is nothing...I'm guessing it was yanked when someone did a Weber conversion and tossad all the other "junk" under the hood.

It would only have all that if it were a California model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bratman2 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 My 87 Brat has no computer and has never had one! Would love some cruise though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosubarubrat Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 My 83 turbo wagon that i sold had factory cruise control along with all the bells and whistles(power steering, multi port fuel injection, ac, power windows, power mirrors, ect). In the 50 states other than California if the car was 4wd they didn't have a ECM but if the were 2wd they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky26 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 I guess I'm one of the lucky ones then, mine was originally a Cali resident. Once it warms up I'm going to work on getting it installed. The wife still doesn't know why it is needed, oh well going in anyway:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dinky26 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yes, of which I'm fairly certain that I have under my dash. I was talking about the ECM. Not the CC computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
