So I traded cars with a guy who had done a jdm wrx swap in his 98 coupe.
After doing some research I found out that it's a 99/00 jdm ej205 out of a wrx wagon. Not one of the more popular swaps so it's not easy to find info on.
I found this:
And from that i can see it has a higher compression ratio than the wrx or sti of the same year (9:1 vs 8:1)
My plan was to get a v5/v6 sti ecu and vf-28 so that I wouldn't need to do any extra tuning...but i imagine if i want to keep it reliable i would in this case?
Looking for as much information as i can get on this engine so I can figure out what my options are in terms of power down the line, or at least some good resources where I could find the info myself.
