I know its possible to swap an NA EJ25 SOHC using the factory ECU. Renegade sells a "Speed Sensor" kit. I think it bolts to the output of the transaxle. Is this required or optional?
I'm trying to understand the ins and outs of these swaps because I think they are interesting. I know a swapper could go aftermarket, Link or Stinger or whatever. I'm curious how much work it is to go with the factory ECU. BTW, I've looked at most of the threads that are relevant. None of them really give a play by play on using the factory ECU. Just intimidating pictures with lots of wires. |

SOHC because most are newer. The headgasket issue. Finally, I can throw a pair of Delta cams in there pretty cheap. The alternative is to get a decent DOHC and just get the swap done. Do it with the Stinger, then I could always go to a 2.0 WRX or 2.5 WRX hybrid down the road as budget allows.
I'm not ready to pull the trigger on anything yet. And, I won't be for a while. The target car is in need of resto, so right now I'm just kicking motors. In fact I have half the parts for a 2270 in my garage. I'm just intrigued by the suby possibilities. |
