does anyone have pictures of a subie turbo engine and trans installed? i am currently in the process of trying to install mine and would love to get someideas. i've seen the craddle made for the porsche trans and subie engine i like that idea but of course that wont work with the subie trans.


so ....can i use an auto transmission also?? like this

The flanges should work on the auto trans. Just look for an older FWD version. There is a good rebuilder that makes a very stout auto trans that can hold a lot of power at ecutune.com they also have reprogrammed valve bodies. The only problem I see with the auto trans is how to control it as it is an electronically controlled trans. The easiest way would be to use the stock ecu.

The Suby auto trans has its own ECU, which also links to the engine ECU. They're plentiful in the NorCal junkyards...

Thanks for the info - I have no idea how the auto trans works as I detest the things in general (along with power steering.)
I am shipping the parts out tomorrow to everyone that was in on the group buy.

Thats the same place i was talking about. His name is Mike. If you want an auto trans that can handle a lot of power and shifts strong hes the man. Hes done work for me in the past and his work is outstanding. Heres the thread were he discusses the build.

Where is the link to the thread. Mike is also on the same CNC forum as myself and has a DIY converted CNC mill very similar to the one I am building. He uses the mill to deck blocks and stress relieve some of the gears in the transmissions he builds. I have been in contact with him via email and he has me almost convinced to go with a reprogrammed stock ECU when I go for the six install sometime in the future.

Actually,
The 8 and 9 second drag cars that ESX and Rigoli Racing runs use auto trannies. Subies auto trannies are way stronger than the manuals...

Wow!!! Just read through this, and am extremely encouraged.

I'm assuming since you're referencing SVXs and Autos that these are 25-spline adapters?

FYI in '93 and '94, the 1.8l FWD 5MT imprezas have 23 splines. if you try to put one of these flanges on one of those trannys, you're going to be very sad. I think '95 FWD imprezas still had a 1.8l, but I know they used 25 spline axles, so it's not specific to engine size.


If I end up building a 914, I'll definitely be getting a pair of these!! Any news on the cable-shifter setup? That would be my next hurtle.....although I've got this FWD Auto trans from a '92 legacy, and have been in touch with a guy who reflashed the ROM in the TCU so he could have full-manual control over it with paddles.....


question, as I'm fairly new to VW/porsches. would this speed sensor ring bolt up to these flanges?

You can just use a stock Subaru speed sensor for the trans. No need to make anyting new. The speed sensor just replaces the speedo cable, easy cheap and it works.
