Few questions regarding fitting STI RA V-LIMITED engine into '96 WRX ?
Just a few questions I need answering about my engine swap.
Will my Apexi Power FC run the RA engine ? I got the engine from Grade A Subaru and they told me it will fit 92-96 wrx but just wanted to make sure ?
I've heard a few people mention parallel fuel rail conversions. Where can I get these kits from and are they easy to fit ?
How strong is the RA engine ? I know it's a closed deck block what what sort of boost are they known to handle ? My wrx is mapped to run 1.4 bar.

The blocks are good for well over 2 bar however what’s inside yours at present is not, i would suggest keeping it under 1.6 bar, your mapper will advise you best.
The parallel fuel mod is pretty straight forward and a worth while mod i can supply you with what you need to carry this out.
Assuming you used all the same looms and ancillaries that were on the original motor and the apexi was previously for that year then there shouldn’t be any issues.

Can you send me details of the parallel fuel mod please.
I will be dropping the engine straight into the car and plugging in the 2 main loom plugs. Is that ok ?

1.4 bar will be fine.
Your previous set up was for a 96 car and you are replacing with the same you shouldn’t have any problems; i am assuming you are using the existing manifold and sensors etc to be sure.
Fuel mods details sent.
