Hi,

I need some info regarding putting a newage STI engine in a classic WRX.

I know the inlet manifold + ancillaries have to be swapped from the WRX engine onto the STI one, to fit it in a classic.
Also the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys need to be swapped.

There are 2 things I need to know.

1st; What about the AVCS on the STI engine? Can I just fit this engine and not use the AVCS? Can I block off the AVCS in any way?

2nd; Is a remap really necessary? The owner of the car does not want a remap. Is there any way to fit a newage STI engine then, or would he be better off getting a rebuilt classic engine?

Anything I'm missing?

Thanks for any help.
