bugeye engine into 96 classic impreza
Discussion
Do it mate! Its well worth the conversion! The avcs engine's have a lot more torque.
I happen to have done this very conversion in my 96 STI. Wiring is a bit of a headache, best to take it to an auto electrician if you're not confident as entire loom needs to go unless you run an aftermarket ECU such as a Link G4. I swapped the whole loom over.
Before (original V3 STI engine)
After (2002 V7 STI EJ207 AVCS engine)
A few pics along the way

I can't seem to find anything I've had a look on Scooby net but not familiar with it any chance of a link ? Thanks
dont have a link.. just seen a thread or two about projects which looked intresting. but they appeared not to be a straight swap which is what I think you were thnking about.. its mostly electrickry which adds up the time n bills as stated above, the loom needs swapping over or a aftermarket ECU, which I think you are looking at a grand + setup just for the ECU.Gassing Station | Subaru | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
