Subaru Impreza GC8 Engine Swap configuration help!

Hi All,

 

I have a Link G4+ WRX V5/V6 and need some help.

 

I own a UK spec Subaru Impreza GC8 V5 Turbo 2000 and am fitting a V7 STI block with V4 STI Heads into it.

 

This block and head combination came out of a V4 Impreza where it was working great.

 

I am using a V4 manifold but all the existing parts from my V5 including throttle body which I have retrofitted and is simply plug and play with the cars electronics.

 

Now I have asked someone online about compatibility and have been told that the problem will be that the cam gear for timing underneath the oil filler has a different configuration on the V4 than the V5. 

 

 

I don’t quite understand this nor do I know if it’s true as the engine  was working in a V4. 

 

Is there a difference in cam gear between the V4 and V5?

 

If so how do I modify my previously professionally mapped G4 + ECU to recognise the difference in the cam gears whilst keeping the existing electrical setup of the V5?

 

Many Thanks
