This'll be quick as I'm on lunch and don't have too much time. Will the stock RX tranny hold up against an EJ22t or will it need to be replaced with something stronger? Thanks for any insight into this.

Depends on how many miles the EA tranny has on it.

I'll be finding out sometime in spring, my tranny has over 200K on it.

against a stock 22t? yea, it should be fine.

 

most of the internals are the same as an EJ trans. except the hi-lo gearset, which I don't think is the weak link.

 

 

I think you'll find the problem is that the RX uses a cable-operated push-style clutch. whereas any turbo EJ uses a hydraulic pull clutch. you'll have a hard time finding a clutch kit that will hold up to the torque.

i look forward to hearing how your tranny holds up turbone, and also how you figured out the clutch situation.
