    Well, it happened – my EJ25 went kaput so I’m in the market for a swap. I’m still researching which EJ (ideally USDM) is the best option for me, but worried about getting a poor quality product from a less than reputable vendor. Definitely want something with a warranty, so junk yard/Facebook...

    I have a 2000 RS, and plan on doing a full 2004-05 STI swap. My question is, since the swap uses the STI ECU in the RS, can I tune the STI before doing the swap? Can I get the engine to where I want it, tune it, and then swap everything into the RS after and will it stay tuned how I want it? Or...

    I recently completed an Engine swap on my 2000 2.2 which was blown on my Impreza L to a 1998 2.5 engine. The 2.5 Engine Harness was intact, so I decided to use that one, while completing the swap I did notice that there are 3 connectors that I did not use. After attempting to start I was unable...

    I’ve got a 1999 ej22 n/a and I’ve heard tons of different things on forums. It can run on stock everything without tuning under 8psi? But there’s the problem of detonation? Or other say swap ej25 heads for lower compression? Or is it just easier to swap in a turbo 2.0 or 2.5? I’ve got some money...

    hey all, trying to do research on 07sti -> coupe swaps and the one thing i couldnt find much information on was premade harnesses that were made for the swap. Considering the sti is my daily it would suck to have to wait 2 weeks for the merge to be made and be carless for that timespan. does...
