fitting avcs heads to wrx
 

hi,
my bottom end has gone so im thinking of putting in an sti engine into my bug wrx, has anyone fitted these heads before, i know they go straight in but i was told there are about 8 wires each side that need looking at.

help?

you'll need a different ecu like a simtek or syvecs that can run avcs and then make up a loom

unless of course its a jdm wrx

It's quite straight forward, I've done it to mine.

I used a std newage STi loom, and made a mini loom for the extra sensors using part of a loom from a STi.

You can fit the avcs engine into your WRX and run without avcs initially if neccesary.

I'm running AVCS in my 2002 bugeye WRX I've used the redundant tumbler wiring which has been extended into the AVCS connectors. The main harness was then re-pinned into the syvecs ECU.

If you have or can get a spare STi loom, or re-use the TGV wiring that's good...otherwise we sell a standalone AVCS loom for just this purpose. It has a multi-way connector at the bulkhead allowing the engine to be removed at a later date if needs be :)

Not put it on the website yet, but it's £129.99+delivery+VAT and for that you get a nice, neat, professional loom :)

Suitable for any ecu but some wire cutting/joining is inevitably necessary at the ecu end.

ive got a simtek ecu anyway but i was looking for a ''step by step'.

so i can still drive the car without wiring the avcs heads and may be get the mapper to wire these in for me ?
