Just got in an 02/03 jdm ej 205 complete swap with tranny ecu and all for a great price. I plan on installing this into my usdm 2002 wrx I have done swaps before but with an usdm ej205 before I start the process is this a direct plug and play or is there any other things I need to know before installing this swap since its a jdm version ej205 any help would be appreciated


Thanks in advance

Depends on what year the motor is...Pretty sure you can just put that motor in the car and get a tune and it should run fine. I know of at least 3 people that have done this and those were with AVCS and other than higher compression the tune wasn't difficult or much different than a stock one. If you want to take advantage of AVCS, which I don't think that motor has, you'd need to get the wiring harness from that unit or the one from IDA.
