LPGsuperchargedBrumby Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 how much power can a ea81 4 speed d/r gearbox take without 'exiting stage left' the reason i ask is that i think i have scored a ej and need to know if my 'box is going to be strong enough. don't know what size of ej it is yet it was offered to me by my G/F's father who is a v8 man and had no idea that subaru's came in differnt sizes...... thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Are you planning on modifying the ej? They are not that powerful stock, so the box would probably be ok untill you mod it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
