Veganpotter Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'm looking to do this for fuel efficiency. Obviously it'll need to be RWD and I'm hoping to use an automatic due to their autos getting better MPGs than their sticks. I'd even consider a CVT but programming that swap may be too much. Anyone know of a RWD converter that'll allow me to use a stock transmission? The ones I've seen seem to only work with manuals.

Numbchux Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 What automatic gets better mileage than the equivalent manual?? Seems really strange to use a Subaru engine for effeciency. I love them for many reasons, but that's not one of them. I think I'd use a Honda or Toyota 4-cyl. Or a VW TDi. You might be able to get it out of a direct injected FA20, but that's so new it won't run on the stock ECU, so you'll have to run standalone, and completely start over on the fuel mapping. You'll have a huge amount of time and money into it, and you still might not have the efficiency. But, if you're set on doing it, get a BRZ/FRS/86 transmission. Bolts right up to the EJ engine, and is RWD. I've seen them for 500-1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
