Does 2002 WRX have Avcs?
The USDM 2002-2005 WRX and the GC-generation JDM turbo engines did not come with AVCS. It is possible to use these engines in place of a USDM EJ205 since they are “plug and play” and will run with no modification necessary.
How much HP can a stock EJ205 block handle?
With upgrade rods and pistons it should handle 400 whp no problem. It might possibly handle more but honestly with a turbocharger big enough to make 500 whp on the 2.0 it doesn’t have the greatest powerband.
Can a JDM engine be swapped in a Subaru?
This wiring, coupled with a compatible ECU and a proper tune, will allow the engine to perform optimally in your Subaru. If you are doing/have done an engine swap with an USDM 2002-2005 WRX into another chassis (like a 2.5RS), the same rules apply.
Can a JDM EJ205 run on a 02 WRX?
Yeh, you went to a v5 engine on an 02 wrx, completely different electronics platform. No wonder you can’t make it work. Op, a Jdm ej205 with avcs will run with your usdm ecu but you will not have functional avcs.
What kind of engine does a WRX have?
If you live in the US and have a 2006+ WRX, a 2004+ Forester XT, 2005+ Legacy GT, or a 2004+ STI, your car’s engine already has AVCS. The USDM 2002-2005 WRX and the GC-generation JDM turbo engines did not come with AVCS.
Can a JDM EJ205 swap into a bugeye?
Swap the cam and crank gears, and intake manifold with all electronics on it and that’s it. Your ecu can run AVCS with different roms but you would have to do some wiring. There’s your good write up. Bump. I’m in the need for a good write up on a JDM ej205 swap into a bugeye too.

Can a Subaru Tech do a JDM swap?
A Subaru tech will do most of the work. He has a bug eye himself but has not done a JDM swap yet. 4) Use USDM intake manifold (for US emissions) and exhaust manifold. 5) Use USDM accessories (A/C comp, Alternator, P/S pump). Some JDM accessories “may” fit, but best to have your originals on hand.

How much does it cost to rebuild a JDM EJ205 engine?
Sure enough I had a hole in piston 4. Also looked like it had a cracked camshaft. Basically a full rebuild is needed, which would cost me no less than 2k. On the other hand I’ve seen some good JDM ej205 engines for about $1k.
