Phaedras Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Yeah, do people in other countries get cooler stuff in their Subes? Mechanically or otherwise, what sets foreign XTs apart from the American ones, besides the name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TROGDOR! Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 I heard a rumor that European turbo XT's were available with FT4WD Dual Range transmissions. Also, the turbo was carried on until the end of XT production in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJM Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 They had more power and just about all of them had factory oil coolers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaedras Posted May 8, 2005 Author Share Posted May 8, 2005 They had more power and just about all of them had factory oil coolers. Hmmm, I wonder how this was accomplished...was anything within the engine different or were the engine "accessories" more capable? Also, I wonder if anything in the interior was obviously different.

LPGsuperchargedBrumby Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 well i had never heard of an XT6 untill i got onto a website the had some guy stashing one in a lifted brat(didn't know you could do that either) the only subarus iv'e seen here with an XT designation are XT-Turbo stationwagons (leone/loyal) so you guys got some cooler stuff than us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukas Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 The XTs in europe had 136 hp without cat and 120 hp with cat. They were also available with a Full Time 4WD Dual Range transmission with diff lock. We only had the XT Turbo, no XT N/A or XT6. The early XTs had the push button 4WD, but from 1987 to 1989 they had the FT4WD Dual Range and also a Full Time 4WD Automatik Transmission.
