You might as well save time by using your usdm ecu for inspection.

Thank you for taking the time to write this out.... Too bad it wasn't here when I put mine in a few months ago, all the questions answered in one place...
What about cruise control, I'm scared to push the button. No I don't need it, but the curiosity is killing me... I do not think I see a light for it on the dash when I turn my key in the "on" position. |

Cruise control takes place outside of the ECU, should be fine.

Edit: the homologation sheets revealed that the very first new age GDB bugeye Sti, called the Type RA (before the appearance next year in '02 of the Spec C), had bigger ports, due to an additional radius smoothing of 0.5mm and removal of the casting shoulder by the valve guide.
To be noted is that in GRB, the intake ports become gigantic by impreza standards, for the Spec C. The V8 and V9 all have the same big ports. The V7 were all the same part number for heads, big ports. Iy was said that the EJ207 for all other markets had small ports. I never bothered to check the part numbers for heads for EJ207 from other markets than Japan. I've seen before an Australian posting suggesting that their market had big ports at one point for the EJ207. The main obstacle with those is that many markets had immobilizers very early on. In UK, I think they may have had immobilizers as early as V7, maybe even the Prodrive P1 in a GC8. So importing one of those may prove to be an additional headache, even if the early immobilizers were less extensive in their needs than a USDM Sti immobilizer. But if someone along the importing route drops the ball and msimatches the ECU, keys and immobilizer ECU, that engine will not start. Last edited by Vlad; 10-17-2012 at 07:35 AM. |

There is an incentive for owners to get rid of their cars at a certain age due to rising rate of taxes the older the car gets. This is to "persuade" the public to get newer cars to meet increasingly stricter Japanese DOT standards, emissions, etc. |

So I went back and cleaned up the section with the advertised factory performance.
I plan to add new sections to this in the future, or maybe to create one more paralel thread. |

I'm currently working on mine and have changed out the 207 cams and cam sensors which give and read a negative signal to the jdm ecu but the 07 usdm sti would be reading positive signals. I installed stock 07 usdm sti cams and cam sensors so far. I'm in the process of bolting up the last pieces to try and start it. Thanks. |

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=2372623 We did have to advance the idle AVCS to 10° to make it run and start better, Think it is a function of the position of the USDM cams in the JDM cam gears. |

^^^ Thank you soooo much for this. I feel much more confident in my swap now. I am happy that I've been able to do the right steps. Now I just need to figure out my tuning. So far everyone I've spoken to seems to not understand how to approach the swap. It's still "impossible" for them.

I'm in the middle of my EJ207 swap into a 32bit car right now with the help of Luke and Amroof as they indicated above and there are a lot of nay-sayers out there. A prominent big-name tuner who frequents the EJ207 owners' thread comes to mind...
The fact is that I've personally seen and driven one of these swap cars and will soon drive my own. Very much possible and very much awesome. Look for my thread on it in the coming weeks to see progress. |

Shoot me a PM and Ill send you something to get started with if you want. The powerband these engines have on the USDM cams is pretty nice as well, good low end torque and no trouble going to 8K+ And like Ken said, EVERYONE told us it was impossible so that makes it even more fun Last edited by lukeskywrx; 10-16-2012 at 11:56 AM. |

PM coming your way. That's also good news to hear the USDM cams suit these engines quite well. I ran this engine before in my old chassis so I'm antsy to get back on it. I've been waiting a LONG time! I miss going over 7k with a decent motor. I've been driving a 1.6L SOHC SR5 corolla as my daily with this being down. It's excruciating slow. haha. I like making the impossible possible too. |

The information is now updated in the introductory post.
I'm starting to run into problems, reaching limit of number of characters that can be typed in one post, with more to say.. I'm planning to add photos too, but I may not be able to. |

Well, thanks, let's hope that works out.
But for now, I've compacted to the max, relocated and later on will try to add pics, let's see what happens. I don't know if you took the time to look into the homologation sheets, but wanted to give you the info that you can compare your work with the cams with some factory info, may be interesting, if you didn't do it already. |

I had to disable the tgv sensors on the usdm ecu to clear codes and a check engine light. I had to drive it 50 miles for readiness the first time I went to get inspected after just swapping to the USDM ecu, now it's all forced ready so no need to drive it to readiness after swapping ecu. Just like mr. fastnoypi states bellow, really helps simplify the process, thank you sir.

You don't need to drive 50 miles, etc... just force pass the readiness monitor bit on. |
