Subaru 3.0 Flat Six + Audi Box

[JamesKT25]

Has anyone seen this done or know if it is possible? I have my mind set on the flat six but im just wondering wether changing box at the same time is worth while.

Any Ideas? I've done a fair bit of googling but i havent really found a definitive answer.

Topic subject line reads wrong sorry, i meant to put audi box or similar...

I would have thought that if you are going to the expense of the later 3.0 (not the same as the 3.3 block) then you'd be better off fitting a reversed rotation "subarugears" MT5. They will bolt together and work straight off.
You'll have fun with the gear linkage too, it won't be a cheap build.

What sort of power can go through the standard box? Im switching back and forth between a 2.0T and the 3.0 and the gearbox seems to be more a more of a deciding factor.

How i identify which box is in mine?

Its all about torque, hp is just an expression of torque at a given rpm.
200Nm was considered the factory safe limit for petrol engines, with less brutal torque delivery compared to diesels.
This is how much the 2.6 SA makes in a tintop, but if in a van full o furniture then the transmission moves up its duty cycle and its life will be shortened.
I think that a properly built 094 can put up with c.240bhp (petrol) in a light van and driven with some respect...

I run an H6 with standard 5 speed box. Been ok for nearlly 2yrs and it had an ej22 in for the 6yrs previous to that plus it hasnt had an easy life. If I was to upgrade the box I would just give it to aiden talbot to put a longer final drive in. As it is tho I like the acceleration as geared for t he 2.1 so when you stick 220bhp through it the ratios give you great acceleration and not to bad cruising at 70-75mph either. Thing my code is AHU

So would I be better sticking with a t25 box?

[christofy]

I would to start with. Look on rjes site as it's got a list of all gear box codes and rpm-speed is also listed

Get underneath and have a look. It's stamped on. Take a wire brush and some wd40. Can t remember exactly where on the box it is by pretty sure it's front half

[christofy]

If it's from 1.9 dg bus it should be fairly well suited. It's the diesel boxes that are really "pooh"

Now that is neat.
