I swapped a ej206 into my 02 wrx and I've put 10000 miles on it but it's only on wastegate pressure right now. Feels like a solid motor though.

I swapped those things over on mine, but i actually dont think i needed to. The parts looked identical to me. Doesnt hurt to use stuff that you know will work though.

Edit: the ej206 is 9.0:1 compression so the tune might be off some.

Default Can you run Usdm heads on a Ej206??

I知 wondering if you can put 2.0 usdm cylinders heads on a Ej206.
Next question is can you run the jdm cams in the usdm head, i know jdm compression is 9:1 and the usdm is 8:1 but I知 currently in a predicament trying to use what I have

Trying to help a friend who just picked up an ej206.
What did you do to plug the oil drain on the left side cylinder head ?
Do you remember what type plug you used on the antifreeze pipe that is been eliminated on the left side cylinder head ?
Thank you.
