Hello World,
I Just Posted this in the NASIOC forum as well, help, i am in a bind:
I've had this 2002 WRX since 2006. After countless mods, stage 2, rebuild and back to stock,
the motor blew at 287,XXX miles on my way back to Oregon, I am now stuck in Southern Utah.
Luckily I have friend who's been willing to put me up for the past month while I work, and work on the Subie.
Needless to say I love this car.
I ordered a JDM EJ205 V7 engine from eBay, Iwire AVCS bulkhead, and a JDM Sti V7 ECU.
I had to put the USDM stock headers and up-pipe on it cause the JDM ones were cracked.
I reflashed the ECU using a tractrix cable with a map (A4SD800A)
I downloaded from Romraider (
viewtopic.php?f=35&t=7591)
The car runs, no check engine lights, no vacuum leaks.
I'm nervous about driving it to Oregon because of knock/ blowing the motor.
The JDM motor is higher compression than the USDM and it takes a higher Octane.
Currently I am learning as much as iI can about this art, it's difficult.
Later today Ill take it for another drive in the neighborhood and log it.
Do some appropriate research.
Have to start somewhere!
Can somebody help, or point me in the right direction?
I need an open source map via tactrix cable for a JDM V7 WRX setup to work on 91 octane.
