JDM STI V8 Motor?
I have a 2002 wrx.I blew my engine a few days ago and might puchace a JDM STI V8 motor. Anyone know where to get an ECU for it or where to remap the origional. Is this a viable upgrade....considering I was on route home from picking it up with a new sti ra tranny and snapped a conn rod? Thanks, Matt

Oh hell no, you did not just say "Version 8" motor. ARGH!!!! 
Humor me, tell me what is V8 motor and what is the difference between v7 and v8.
Also, what model year do you refer to when you say v8?
I am very picky about this, as saying V8 motor is just as good as saying a P7 toaster.

ok, i am not really an expert on this, i know i needed something and I actually just purchased a JDM V8 STI motor complete, vf37 and all that. Even found a used JDM ECU for it. I now just need to see how i am going to wrie it. Honestly, I never in my wildest dreams thought about this but since i blew the motor and have a voided warrenty this seemed like the best route. Any info would b emuch appreciated. Thanks again, Matt

I have the 2005 version 8 twin scroll motor in my car and i luv it. It works great out of this world spool up time. It was not that hard to wire up. You have made a great purchase.

:slap forhead:
Stop calling it Version 8!!!
Plus, there is STi and STi Spec C versions on each model year that twin scroll came with.
People please, call New Age motors by their JDM model year, not by "Versions" which do not mean anything.
