Rollie715 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I'm thinking of putting a diff in the rear with a 4.10 or a 4.44 ratio or what ever else is available, and then putting bigger tires in the rear to even out the front to rear ratio. Are there diffs from other Subarus that will bolt right in? And what other ratios are available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibs Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I know the 4.10's and 444's will bolt in (depending on what year your soob is, BUT you don't wanna be driving it in 4wd with different diff ratios. Thats why we haven't gone with lower gears, as fitting the lower gears in our trannies is impossible (for now) without losing the 4wd and going to AWD.

Rollie715 Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 I'm planning on running different tire sizes front to back, so that the ratios will work out and not cause problems in 4wd. Front -- Rear -- Rear - 3.90 --- 4.11 --- 4.44 - 23.0 --- 24.2 --- 26.2 - 24.0 --- 25.3 --- 27.3 - 25.0 --- 26.3 --- 28.5 - 26.0 --- 27.4 --- 29.6 - 27.0 --- 28.5 --- 30.7 For example using the above table, I'm thinking if I put a 4.44 diff in the rear, I will limit my front tire size to 25.0 to help with the low gearing and put a rear tire of 28.5 in the rear.

NoahDL88 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 the middle ratio is 4.11, just thought you might like to know :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollie715 Posted December 26, 2006 Author Share Posted December 26, 2006 the middle ratio is 4.11, just thought you might like to know :-\ Thanks Noah, I updated the above table to show the correct ratios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front -- Rear -- Rear - 3.90 --- 4.11 --- 4.44 - 23.0 --- 24.2 --- 26.2 - 24.0 --- 25.3 --- 27.3 - 25.0 --- 26.3 --- 28.5 - 26.0 --- 27.4 --- 29.6 - 27.0 --- 28.5 --- 30.7 For example using the above table, I'm thinking if I put a 4.44 diff in the rear, I will limit my front tire size to 25.0 to help with the low gearing and put a rear tire of 28.5 in the rear. Rollie Im looking at this for the silver car using a 4.44 in the rear with 27" swampers and little over stock in the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phizinza Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I may be wrong, but I think the 4.44's only came in a female version (no stubs sticking out of the diff.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86BRATMAN Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Im still learning myself, it also may be different in the US , Its not. 4.44's are pretty rare over here also. Early legacy manual non turbo is the best place to find a DIRECT BOLT in diff. They are r160 diffs with the 4.11's. I've got one ready to be thrown into the brat.

Numbchux Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I may be wrong, but I think the 4.44's only came in a female version (no stubs sticking out of the diff.) yea, but I'm fairly certain you could slap an EA r160 case (welded, LSD, whatever) on that 4.444 ring gear, and then bolt on the stubs. otherwise, suberdave found some adapter pieces that allow WRX inner cups to mate to EA82 axles....I'm sure the same could be done with whatever diff you've got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 yea, but I'm fairly certain you could slap an EA r160 case (welded, LSD, whatever) on that 4.444 ring gear, and then bolt on the stubs. Good point.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_postie Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 the 4.44 came with and without stubs.The early aus rs had 4.44 with stubs.I've got a late 4.44 lsd female style diff in my 88 wagon.i used the wrx inner cup and the ball and race from the legacy is the same as the ea ,so it slips staight onto the ea shaft.

Phizinza Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 so it slips staight onto the ea shaft.Sweet, I was wondering about that for a totaly different idea I have.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 also look into nissan diffs of the r-180 and r-190 . may take a little different mounting ,but is none the less the same damn diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 That and you can find air/cable lockers for the R-180..Me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 That and you can find air/cable lockers for the R-180..Me thinks. I'm pretty sure you can too. I've looked around a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
