Please help lol

I have just spent the wkend breaking a Subaru Type R, Im going to put the engine into my jap import on a 95 plate, can anyone tell me if I would have to change the wiring loom aswell??

I will be running a apexi ecu which has 3 pin inputs, not sure about the 95 jap import? Im hoping I will not have to change the whole loom also.

Can someone please help me.

Thanks
Pablo

 

That apexi wont fit the 95 loom, and the engine loom will also have some differences.

 

So I would def have to swap the whole loom across aswell, to run the engine and the apexi ecu

Thanks for the reply

 

yes you will. or use your existing manifold (if the type R was pre 99) and sell the PFC and buy a new one, if the type R was 99/00 then you will need to swap the loom.

 

Yes Im going to keep my ext manifold, sorry Im new here whats a PFC?

I dont want to fit the gearbox / dash / diff control or anything like that just the engine

Thanks again for your help

 

A PFC is an apexi ECU (PowerFC = PFC)

I take it it is a 97-98 Type R?

Also, you DO want to swap, the gearbox

 

just to clarify.. you have a 95 car with Apexi PowerFC (PFC) in..

you have a Type R 97~99 engine?

if you use just the long engine.. ie. heads and block complete with cambelt covers and sprockets and sump etc.. and just fit the inlet manifold from the 95 along with the coil packs then it will run without changing the loom.

You would need to map it to take advantage of the heads and higher rev limit etc

Would also be easier to use the 95 turbo..

 

Hi Jolly Green Monster, I have a 95 WRX import, with no bottom end, I have since then brought a 99 Type R, which has now been stripped. All I want is the engine from the type R, the type r also had the the apexi setup with I would need to transfer to my other scooby as the engine has been mapped with these in place. Hope this makes sense, I was wondering if it was possible to run the engine and apexi setup with the 95 loom or weather I would have to strip the loom and everything.

Thanks for your help

 

you would need to strip the loom and ecu etc..
