Hello all,
I have scoured many a forum and many a google search has been had. I have seen many posts here about swapping "this" engine for "that" engine but I have learned very little. I apologize I am not very smart.
So my questions are...
I have an 05 LGT limited 5MT.
The kid that owned the car before me did all kinds of unknow things to this car I am sure. Long story short, I am getting a missfire code. My mechanic thinks it's the heads. Fast forward a few weeks and I purchased a full engine as this one had 180K+ on it. I purchased a JDM "2005-2005 Subaru Impreza wrx EJ255 2.5L Turbo Engine SINGLE AVCS Forester EJ255".
I assume I need to take the spark/fuel/air system off the current motor and move it to the "new" motor ? If I do this, can I keep the current ECU ? I have read many a post about having to accommodate for the AVCS system, but I currently (think) I have a single...and I am putting a single in...is that straight forward enough ?
I am going to keep the and maybe rebuild the current hardware, maybe add some power. Who do you trust to rebuild the heads/engine ?
I am sure I will have more stupid questions I am sure...thank you for your time.
