05 wrx block swap
Hey guys,
First of all HELP and thanks for any info. I have a 01 2.5 rs impreza. I was doing a motor swap to a 05 wrx and when the motor was installed i learned that the block was bad. So i have to swap the block out. I was offered a USDM sti block with forged piston. The setup i have thus far is 05 wrx motor VF 39 STi pink injectors STi TMIC gruppe s headers Injen CAI ERZ up pipe ERZ catless downpipe Greddy evo catback Now my question is can i do a block swap with out engine management? Will this block work with the setup i have with any problems? The Mech was going to do a cpu flash for the setup i had with the wrx block. But since that doesnt work he said it will still work fine. What do you guys think? Also he wanted me to do a value job before the motor goes in. The Mech ported the wrx heads. What do you guys think? I am real new to this block swap. I have been having bad luck with this swap and just want it to be done and relaible. I want a fast car and also a daily driver if needed. Any input would be great. IF i have to get a EM system can you guys recommend the best route. Im not really going to play around with it much. i just want to set it and forget it. Also price is a factor. Thanks
