STI RA have a fifth injector just after the throttle housing The STI RA ecu will a fuel map when to crack that particular injector A jdm WRX doesnt have this injector

So IMHO it will run but not that great

Yes, they are interchangable. The fifth injector on the STi-RA is not controlled by the ecu and is not functional.

The 95 STi-RA ecu runs a bit of extra timing, fuel and boost than the 95 WRX. You would see more benefit from getting a remap chip for your existing ecu (Scoobyecu etc.)
