MY06 Impreza swap
Is it possible to put a previous model wrx, sti or liberty engine in one of these seeing as it uses drive-by-wire technology or would their be issues by doing so??

you'd probably need to put in a matching old ecu and it would suck.
where are you from, australia? |

Oic thanks for that. Anything else I would need to know or would it be better to not even attempt a conversion.
Yeah I'm from Australia. |

so your 06 blew a motor and now you are looking for a low cost (older) replacement motor?
I shouldn't say as I don't know for sure what's involved but I think you should stick with a 06 or newer motor |

No it didn't blow a motor. Was just looking for an alternative because wanted to turn it into a project car but realised that it was drive by wire recently and yeah
also would the new liberty engine be drive by wire aswell.. cause i've seen H6 engine put in but wasn't sure |

there is nothing wrong with drive by wire, if you have a good reflash tuner as the DBW settings are in changeable tables..
people are making 450 whp on that motor with bolt on and ecu tuning |

Ok so please correct me if i'm wrong. Does that mean if I put in a H6 engine for example into my Impreza to get the drive by wire to work I would just have to flush the ecu since that engine is drive by wire anyways?
