The subject says it - if I swap in an old (<'96) wrx jdm engine into my car, can I wire up the CEL properly or is it a lost cause? TIA.

if you wire things properly and use the proper ecu, i dont see why you wouldnt get a CEL if it found a problem.

ive got cel's when somthing was wrong on mine. just like OEM.

think this way-

if do things right and OEM, then be like OEM.

if do things nasty and bastardized, then not like oem.

it will be hard to desifer the codes however. due to the OBD codes being different then the JDM codes.
