Hey am new to the Subaru game but I have an 2002 wrx with just the tranny no engine. I got a really good deal on a version 7 jdm swap but not including the ecu.

Am having a hard time finding a ecu which I think is the 6a correct me if am wrong but my question is. Is there and alternative ecu I can use if I can't find the version7 ecu and am going to buy a clutch kit but am going to use my 5 speed tranny do I have to get an sti clutch kit or regular wrx..

Does anyone have a guide for doing this swap and what other parts I need or is it a plug n play swap.


Thanks in advance any information would help.

It should just bolt right in, but you will need a tune for it to run on your stock ECU. Now if you wanted to take advantage of the AVCS then you'll need a JDM ECU or stand alone, but a tune at minimum.
