a uk spec car is 215bhp and the same year import wrx is 260bhp whats to stop u swopping the uk ecu to the wrx ecu and same with the turbo i know u gotta swop cam and crank sensors over but thats an easy way to up the uk spec is it not?? not worth doing with the sti ecu due to diff cams etc but wrx swop should be ok.

Can this definately be done ?

 

i would like to know if this could be done to

 

anybody agree with me or am i way of the mark here??

WRX's of the MY99-00 UK era were 280ps not 260bhp UK turbo's were 208bhp until the facelift in '98, and the WRX's varied from 220-280ps from '93-2000.

 

i think i could get away with putting a wrx ecu in my car as iv already got wrx jdm heads on my car they are my95 wrx heads on a my98

 

ive got a 98uk, if i cant swap the ecu for a newer 1 can i swap the tdo4 for a tdo5????

 

my98 and my97 ecu are all shat. (non mappable) you cannot swap them with anything but a Bought mappable ecu.

 

Not without doing potential damage to your engine (as the turbo will give more power but the fuel/air mixture will go **** up).

Or something to that degree.

 

ahh, right, thanks for the info. a mate of mine said it was possible , i didnt think it would be.

 

yeah td05 would be no good as that would not match the turbo for the same years wrx ecu which is a front entry vf series turbo a 29 i think, maybe one the mappers can confirm is swopping a uk car over to a wrx ecu and matching turbo would be ok
