I am in the process of planning a WRX STi motor and drivetrain swap into my US spec impreza. I am planning to use a JDM spec WRX STi motor in the car. I think I have all the bugs worked out, except for one, the ECU. I was wondering if a UK spec ECU would work with a JDM spec STI motor. I also noticed that there are a couple of remapping options in the UK. Could one of these be used to remap an ECU for US petrol? I thought of the UK spec ECU since you have similar fuel to the US. 95 RON octane vs 92 octane in the US. Thanks in advance for any answers.

Cheers
Jeff
