Would you take 250 for the dual range trans. I have a friend in sacramento that can pick up
-
do you think it will be able to make the drive to LA.

is it.still drivable and dose it.come with a title im not realy lookin for another loyale but i would take one
im not far from there and could use the parts i would need the title to scrap the leftovers though
ferp if you get it I need some parts off of it as well.

Imo i’d use the ea82 front end. Easier to find parts, better axles, and it gives you the option to run manual or power steering.
Solid build. Very similar to mine.

I made a writeup for an ea81 lift. Let me know what I should add or needs modification.

Also after some tail lights that are in OK condition or has small cracks for my brat. I have a set or two but it's way to nice to put on. Let me know if you have any leads.

Brats been getting some love as well. I'm building off my existing square tubing front bumper. Made an upper and lower hoop and the skid plate is going to tie into it as well. Bent up a simple rear bumper too. Using 1.75" .120 DOM. I got UELS as well.
Prepping for king of the hammers

22e block with 205 heads. New seals all around, killer B pickup, 11mm oil pump, reused t-belt. Got my 04 WRX harness trimmed by SJR just need to start throwing things together.
-
I’ve done it before. Just hit the outer part of the cup and be careful not to damage the boot. Once there are enough threads showing, screw the axle nut and drive it in the rest of the way.

Picked up a JDM sti 5 speed, EJ22 longblock, and EJ205 complete with bad bottom end. Got the 2.2 and 2.0 torn down the 205 heads will be getting decked friday. Ill also be picking up a 2004 wrx bulkhead, ecu, and pedal assembly friday.
He also has DW 2000cc injectors for sale at a decent price. I’m thinking that size is overkill even running e85

Why did all your pictures die?
Engine build sounds good.

I think the tinypic website shut down. Oh well

YES I LOVE MY EJ22S
-
Well spoob there goes all my pictures.
Picked up another EJ22 longblock with significantly less miles. Also will be picking up a JDM sti 5 speed and a blown WRX EJ205 this weekend both for dirt cheap.
Pretty set on my motor option now. EJ22 n/a block with EJ205 heads. Gonna be running STOCK internals CR should be high 8’s. And my block is a 96 so supposedly it’s slightly beefier pistons than 97-98. Also going to need a good tune and i’ll be running some corn.
I now have a chopped 98 2.2 harness for sale. PM me

If you’re not going to 5 stud, just use the factory MPFI manual L series shafts. They’ll drop right in with an EJ box.
This ONLY works for the L series when keeping the 4x140 PCD.

Good to know. I always forget ea81 and ea82 axles are different lengths
-
I posted in the other thread i’m sure you saw. Another option is GC automatic driveshaft. My friend used it and he says : The driveshaft is maybe an inch shorter than what would be ideal, but the splines on the slip yoke still have 2-3” of engagement, and the dust cover still overlaps over the seal on the tailhousing.
-
I am planning to do a EJ trans swap in my ea82 wagon very soon. My friend has an ej trans in his brat and this is what he wrote :
Cvs are hybrids. I put EJ inner joints on the Brat axles.
Driveshaft is from a an automatic GC. I made a bracket to hold the carrier bearing.I put the Brat spider gears in a newer 4.11 rear diff so I can run Brat rear axles

Wow, that would be an absolute steal at that price!
Probably gonna pick it up this weekend.
Can anyone confirm final drive for me? Code is TY752VBBAA
I get 4.11 but other sites say 3.9
Thanks
-
Ok found a JDM trans for really cheap locally. Its a JDM import and it looks like it was never put into a car after it was imported.
Trans code is TY752VBBAA
I put that into all the transmission type searches and it shows up as 4.111 but this dude claims its 3.9. I guess its because he's using a whack website.
May pick it up soon if everything goes well. And he only wants $145.

I didn’t know the USDM didn’t get manual H6s.
I do know very well that the USDM didn’t get the dual range gearbox. My point of sharing that was the gearbox is being powered by the ever strong EJ207 from an STi. It’s holding up strong with regular power runs and the odd launch.
The NA single range box of the USDM is pretty much the same as our dual range boxes, just without the dual range bit above the front diff.
Shifting quick has nothing to do with strong boxes. Shifting quick has everything to do with coordination between arm and leg actions.
Power shifting, dry shifting or whatever you want to call it will kill all gearboxes except dog boxes in general. This style of shifting is when you’re WOT and “snapping” the next gear without clutch or letting off the throttle.
In any build there’s always a compromise unless you have severely deep pockets. Yours might be changing your driving style/habits to be more mechanically sympathetic towards your build.
I’ll be interested to see how you go with this build and gearbox selection.
Side question on your EJ22t build, what pistons will you run to achieve that power figure? The factory cast NA units won’t be up for that sort of work!
Cheers
Bennie
Ok let me rephrase will be doing some occasional launches that's about it. I guess i'm not too hard on trans since my 5 speed dualrange still runs in my brat, and at least for the motor I don't treat it nice.
I will be running a completely stock ej22 n/a block 25D heads. I've heard the 22 blocks are quite stout and with proper EM I should be good.
Right now i'm leaning towards the JDM 5 speed STI trans. Unfortunately have to convert to hydro clutch, but info on here says a WRX pedal assy will fit with minor modifications. I don't know finding the right trans is such a pain.

You're not likely to break anything with 200 wheel.
Pretty much all the Impreza 5 speed transmissions prior to 2008 will lose all the teeth off third gear even if you roll into the power carefully at about 340 to 360 wheel torque Abuse will kill them with less, but much past 320 ft/lbs and it's goodbye to third gear. The teeth come off like a zipper. I've seen a ton of 5 speed failures. The center diffs are weak on all the phase-II units. Just plan on replacing it if you go with a used trans.
GD
Id rather spend a couple hundred more to upgrade than to run an older EJ trans and have it blow up. Auto dismantlers want >$400 for a 3.9.
Another big problem is I really can’t find any good used older 5 speeds outside JYs. Every one i’ve found has the occasional popping out of gear/scratching and shot main shaft bearings.
Realistically WHP/WTQ wise I don’t ever think ill go past 250/275

I’d recommend anything that’s an 8 bolt/phase 2 gearbox. They have wider gearsets and a beefed up set of front cases.
NA/turbo there’s really no difference other than clutch setup and ratios. Strength remains the same.
Wrx boxes are known as glass boxes because ppl put all their money into engine mods for max power but do nothing to the stock box to help with power.
A mate of mine has a SF forester running a STi EJ207 in front of a stock phase 2 dual range gearbox - it’s holding up just fine and it’s insanely quick!
Driving style has a lot to do with gearbox health too.
Have you thought about considering the six speed box from a H6? That’ll hold up to whatever you could throw at it with the EJ22t.
Cheers

My driving habits are kind of rough as I like to shift quick and do occasional launches. Especially with a quicker car i’ll be getting on the gas all the time. I also won’t be running a crazy stage 3 clutch, i’ve heard they shorten the life of your trans.
The US gets the worst trannies. The only H6 manuals I know here are swapped.

I can only speak to the transmission I have: TY752VB3AA
Looking at the chart below it looks like the '93 WRX RA has even shorter ratios. Be aware that many of the 4.44 gearboxes will have longer gears and the combined ratio may not be as numerically high as the '93 boxes.
http://www.rallispec.com/downloads/Transmission ID Chart_Public.pdf
That chart has been very helpful. I found a 94-95 JDM STI 5 speed on ebay with the same ratios as your transmission.
Problem is it’s hydraulic clutch. Most if not all JDM trans i’m seeing are the same. I don’t think you can convert those trannies from hydro to cable since all those trans don’t have the fork ball pivot ? correct me if i’m wrong. Id prefer if I didn’t have to convert my loyale to hydro clutch, but if I have to I will.

If you have a budget of only $1k, don't even consider swapping gearsets. The EJ 5-speed is pretty labor intensive to rebuild and honestly, not something that most DIYers should tackle. Lots of tolerance stack up that will quickly ruin the trans if you get it wrong.
Our 2002 WRX has 152k miles on the original transmission. It's had a lightweight flywheel and Exedy Stage 1 clutch for the last 63k miles. Before that it was raced by dual-drivers in as many as 15 autocrosses per year. The center differential is finally starting to show signs of age. I don't for one second think these are "glass" transmissions, then again, we never side-stepped the clutch, just soft but quick launches. Each year after 2002 got incremental improvements, so the '07 USDM 5-speeds are as strong as the JDM boxes. The FD in these boxes is pretty low and the gearing is long.
I might try to find a '93 WRX transmission. 4.11 FD and really short gears, shorter than any 4.44 JDM box.
Ok I was thinking swapping gears is out of the question. Id have to pay someone to do the transmission build for me and labor would be too expensive.
My friend also had a bugeye WRX, just daily drove it and he blew the trans around 150K.
Now for this 93 WRX trans is it that year specific? Is there any years with the same gears like 94-95 WRX? Id have to look that up more and search some JDM importer sites

Most older gen subaru people like SJR. I’ve ordered from ADF and SJR and strongly prefer SJR.
