Hehe, this motor is not to replace the Axis monster motor. I decided to get rid of TEC III and in order to run OEM/STi ECU again, I have to re-wire the car (again) as I have removed my COMPLETE car harness from the car. And, after that, I am sure I will need to do some troubleshooting. And, I dont want to troubleshoot on the 10k motor.
After the car is re-wired, I will use the JDM motor for a while. Plus, I gotta get the Axis motor o-ringed. Then, I will use the AXIS and use the JDM one in my Legacy.

First some background info on GDB STi's in Japan.
The GDB's went through A ~ E type. A being the first one when it was introduced as MY01.
GDB A-revision, they had the following STi's:
STi -- EJ207DW3CR (VF30)
STi Type RA -- EJ207DW3CJ (Same as regular STi, no AC, no power options, etc, VF30)
As you can see, the only difference is the last letter. And, I know that the engines were the same, besides the Type RA not having the AC there. So, my conclusion is that R= AC, J=NO AC.
GDB B-revision, they had the following STi's:
STi -- EJ207DW4CR
STi Prodrive Style -- EJ207DW4CR (Same as regular STi + added options)
STi Type RA Spec C -- EJ207DW4EJ (VF34, Spec C motor)
STi Limited -- EJ207WD4ER (same as STi Type RA Spec C + AC, power windows, VF30)
S202 -- EJ207DW4ER (Same as STi Type RA Spec C + Red intake hoses, special ECU, oil cooler, exhaust, VF34)
GDB C-revision, they had the following STi's:
STi
STi Spec C (No longer called Type RA Spec C)
STi Limited
GDB D-revision, they had the following STi's:
STi
STi Spec C
STi V-Limited (Same as Limited, but in the year when Subaru wins WRC, Limited becomes V-Limited)
GDB E-revision, they had the following STi's:
STi
STi Spec C
WR Limited
I am still working on the C~E revisions and will post this info soon. I did ID my motor by now, hehe.
My EJ207DW4ER is MY02 Subaru Impreza WRX STi Limited engine. Which is basically Type RA Spec C motor w/ AC. It is not a S202 like I was hoping, but it does not matter. The only difference would be the ECU, Red Intake pipe and VF34 instead of VF30 I got. The long block is identical. Weee-haaa!

older sti
i have a sti version 3 motor (japan spec) and the serial # is 205675, it has a IHI VF24 turbo the red manifold ect. all ready to drop into my 98 RS. All I need is a wiring diagram, and I'd like to make sense of this serial number, all the posts I've read say that number should be longer and have some letters in it as well.
any thoughts?

From the serial number, I think you actually have a EJ205 from a ver 5 or 6 STi. I need to get ahold of some of these wiring diagrams, as it seems people have been needing them a lot lately.

yeah, these importer people have no idea what theyre selling, but didn't the v5 or v6 have coil packs? mines got the regular top mounted coil. are there any really big differences between the v3 - v6 as far as internals go

The version 3 motor is the EJ20K. The main differences between that motor and the one in the ver6 is the intake manifold and throttle body assembly. I think most of the internals are identical. From the version 3 on, the top mounted coil was used, whereas the coil packs were used on the WRX-A to the version2 STi (EJ20G). I am so glad they changed that.
