Hello I am thinking about putting an EJ207 in my STI 9 as it has forged pistons and rods from factory and is less prone to head gasket failure
are there any problems associated with doing this engine swap ?
is there a better factory engine swap I should consider ?
Are there any things I should look out for ?
I dont belevie the ej207 has double AVCS heads where as the original heads did will this cause any issues or can I just disable the fuction using ECUTEK or other mapping software ?

THANKS

 

bugeye sti engine You are after ,Yes single avcs not sure used engine is worth a try. have You UK Hawk with 2.5l?
v7 is cable throttle Hawk 2.5l dbw
forge Yours to avoid mess

 

is it a JDM 2.0 STi or 2.5 UK version ??
JDM car stays with cable throttle with UK car moving to DBW although both are still SINGLE AVCS

 

Any update?
