awesomedude

I thought MT Dew was anti-freeze...really sweet and full of chemicals.

I got 27" ssr's and i welded my diff a few weeks ago..most awesome thing i have done to the car.

Ok,thanks.Just wondering if it really held the power ok at peak torque.

How much problem do people have when using the xt6 plate with their clutches,i dont want more torque if my clutch is going to slip in low range going up a hillclimb. Anyone have pics of their modified flywheel,i could have sworn there was an extra bolt on the ej not just a different pattern.

Shame on you daeron!!...I know you are also a member at hybrid-z and you know as well as i that that site contains more info than any of us ever need,brake material info is no exception. not:Flame: ing just sayin:grin:

Ok now i'm confused lol!

Been reading a bunch about ej to ea swap but havnt seen any explaination as to why you need to drill the ea flywhell rather than use the ej one thats already there?

Can someone tell me why the ej flywheel cant stay on the ej motor,rather than redrilling the original?

Looks like you need valve cover gaskets.

its a subaru...just throw some water in there.

The whole problem with the 2.5 head gaskets has nothing to do with mileage or abuse.It is simply a matter of heating and cooling cycles.City driven 2.5's will need them alot sooner than commuter cars that put on more miles at a time.So if you get a 2.5 just let it idle as often as you can rather than turning it off every time you stop.

Seriously,automatics dont really exist do they? transmissions that shift themselves?..that sounds like a horrible idea.

Yeah that is a possibility i guess,although i want everything:-p Really for me the locking center is one thing that is necessary..and therefor holding back the whole idea lol.

Yes,supposedly arb does make a locker for the r180.

Oh..ok i guess i'm just confused now lol,too many damn models and numbers and ratios and crap to remember here:-\

I think the problem with those now is the fact that the low ratio isnt that low.

yeah,if you have a drill press then this is not a project to be afraid of,the material drills easily with a cobalt bit and clearancing the backside is not hard.When i did mine i took out 2 studs and mounted the wheel with the 2 that you leave on,i then started all the new holes by hand using the wheel as a template.After that just took the wheel off and finished the holes with a drill press and everything is perfect.

Nevermind i found him,thanks a lot though:headbang:

what does that mean?,or is that his name?,this forum?

Do you know that persons name? maybe he's a member of ausubaru?

ok well heres my next question lol.I am wondering if it seems possible(i know it seems so...but) to do some machine work to two of the needed pinions(legacy and ea d/r) and graft the pinion end of the leagacy shaft onto the original d/r shaft,after which they could be drilled and pinned(also welded in) and then tig weld the seam.I think considering the torque put out by these motors that would be more than enough but i could be wrong,perhaps two or more pins would be better.Of course everything would have to be straight and and the graft would have to be done in an unused are of the shaft,or at least where you could get away with it(possibly the weld could be built up and then machined down to spec after?).I realize this borders on a custom made pinion but this has to be cheaper than that,plus its still all subaru!! Oh and heres a crappy paint program drawing i made to help visualize. http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o199/znut_2007/?action=view&current=pinion.jpg

CRAP:(

Suck!! lol-i was really hoping this would be much easier. So what is the verdict concerning trannies from austrailia or europe.Arent those later model dual range boxes 4x4 or are they in fact just the high low AWD that was mentioned earlier.If they hace the center lock on those than that would fit in our boxes with our gearing no?If not i guess its time to either EJ it or start researching the t-case deal:rolleyes:

Ok guys this is my first post and i hope that i can get an answer as i cant seem to piece together all the info i have found so far.Basically what i want to know is if i can possibly get 4.11 or lower in my 88 d/r gearbox.I know that the legact ring and carrier fit in the box but has anyone adapted a pinion shaft from an overseas 4.11 dual range or 4.44 ideally.I really dont car if i have to do some fancy fabricating or get some machine work done,i just need lower than the 3.90's ive got.My car goes great i just want a little extra on the road since i'm running 27 ssr's,it will also help me off road in the hilly stuff:) And here is the car awaiting this wonderfull(potential) modification. http://s120.photobucket.com/albums/o199/znut_2007/?action=view&current=000.jpg
