Put an 2009 Outback XT trans and rear diff in my turbo Crosstrek (XV). Used the GRB WRX clutch and flywheel then upgraded a bunch of other little parts while I was in there: - Fork - Pivot ball - SS clutch line - Bushings - Braces - Etc. Driveshaft, axles and everything else bolted right up

I have a USDM 02 wrx. I did the non dccd v7 prodrive trans, got a low miles used outback rear r160 for matching ring gear and put a Cusco LSD in the rear 160. Cusco lsd in the r160 is they best hybrid. light and locks up like a real STI! IF i did it again Id go with a longer gear out of a usdm 6 speed, a new one is 7k.

We appreciate you man! We have been supper blessed with great people like yourself!

Thanks for watching!

Nick! Hey man, you’re tuning in? That’s so cool, hope you and the family are doing well.

@@OkiSubies we are doing good, and finally getting into a rhythm with the new addition the family. It’s cool to see how far y’all gotten with “the yard”.

Glad you enjoy it!

Makes life so much easier!

@@Christosan88 lol we have been doing it this way for years on literally hundreds of cars. No where near enough force to damage the aluminum and is a huge time saver. You should try it!

Thank you!

With it being rally inspired we wish that was the case but unfortunately that is not true. The Japanese writing on the lid literally says to keep the lid closed while going 80km or higher. We have had more than one customer not know about that and it break when running it while open. I am glad yours hasn’t been damaged while running it while it is open though.

@@OkiSubies there seems to be a misconception. it will only rip the latch or damage it if you open at speeds over 80kph... due to the sudden rush of air hitting the half opened hatch. if you open them at lower speeds before 80kph, they will hang on just fine even at higher speeds . I tune plenty of group N Subarus with these vents and crews run them at quite high speeds never seen a failure when properly used. It’s been a topic in GC8 and spec C forums for years and that’s was the general consensus.

@@kUNCHRIS I hear you loud and clear but this isn’t a misconception, the Japanese written on the bottom and our experience says other wise. I have seen multiple GDB Spec C’s and GC8 V limiteds break by simply driving at high speeds not opening them. I totally understand where you are coming from but with these cars and plastic getting older, the need to follow the directions written on the vents will be increasingly necessary.

Thank you! Yes the rears should work as long as they were from a 5x100 setup.

@@OkiSubies absolute legends. Keep up the awesome videos!

It would have to be the first generation blobeye sti (5x100) and it would bolt up as long as yours also has DCCD and a R180 diff. The 5x114.3 Blobeye would still work but you would have to do front axles also

Thank you!!!

What ej20 jdm motor is it?

It is an awesome change. Reliability and the gears are shorter so it is also performance upgrade!

😂😂😂you are correct!

Depends on how much of the swap you do but about $3500usd

@@OkiSubies Box, diff, shafts?

You would need to put your speed sensor in the 02 transmission. Depending on what month in 2002 would determine if it has DCCD though. If you have dccd I would try and get a dccd 6 speed also.

additional question, can I use the 6speed trans, driveshaft, rear diff from a 6 speed legacy with dccd on a bl5 legacy?

@@malxsox791 Legacy 6 speed will bolt up in a Legacy yes. Rear axles are pretty important in that swap. Don’t think any Legacy came with DCCD though

Yes that is the bugeye Type RA so it has DCCD and female axles. Unfortunately I am not 100% sure on the transmission code we used but if it has dccd and have the stubs for the female axles in the transmission it will work. I want to say it was B3KA but here is more than one that works, here is the link with the different codes. www.rallispec.com/downloads/Transmission%20ID%20Chart_Public.pdf

@@OkiSubiesthank you so much. I am just trying to source a DCCD 6 speed trans that uses the female axles so I can direct fit it just like you did

Thanks for watching! Do you have the rear 2 pots and R180 diff setup? If you do then it should be the same method. The 4.44 final drive in the Type RA’s are super fun but you are definitely right about the top end speed. We have considered selling them but getting GD harness are starting to get harder to find so we decided not to but we would be more than glad to assist you in your project🙂

@OkiSubies I do 🥳 Do you guys source out your own 205 or 207 motors with the full wiring harnesses?? 🤔 If so have you ever considered selling the complete package?? I live in Vancouver BC and the only 205 or 207 motors I can ever find are USDM which I'm assuming will be the same but finding the complete harnesses is IMPOSSIBLE 😩

@@Silver_Back81 We get engines and harnesses from part out cars, Mainland Japan, junkyards, Yahoo auctions and any other way we can get our hands on them lol. The good news is the harnesses can be used from even the JDM ej205’s because the wiring for the most part is the same as the STI. Unfortunately shipping something like that can be quite expensive and we aren’t sure how to go about that. Getting harness and heads shipped is a little more doable and would be a good option if you are planning to build the motor. Or just get the harness merged from us and source an EJ207. So many options lol😅

@OkiSubies Sweet 😁👍 One option I was looking at is to buy a forged USDM 205 short block and putting my EJ20K heads on it but I can't determine if that's possible. I'm assuming the 205 sensors on the block are different than my EJ20K. I also believe that the combustion chamber of my heads is smaller than the 205 and I would need to run a specific thicker head gasket. So after watching your swap videos it looks like it makes more sense to just run a complete 205 engine and use your merge harness instead 😅

@@Silver_Back81 you are doing some great research man! That is a very good option! Especially considering they have plug and play options for aftermarket ECU’s like Haltech. We just helped a customer do something very similar to his Type R! We bought a GRB STI short block and he put the ej20k heads with an HKS 1.2mm head gasket and tuned on a Haltech ECU. He also put the twin scroll vf37 on it and the car was extremely fun and responsive. You could technically even do a hybrid build and put a 2.5L short block on your ej20k heads, you would need to get the heads chamber matched but then you would have a torque monster lol

Sorry we haven’t tried it the other way around😅

Oh wow might be right! We thought that the RA STI’s didn’t come with power windows unless it was a v limited so we didn’t think to much about it.

​@@OkiSubies maybe this car frankenstein, it has long life, doors could be swap't out from different car. but for sure that is not the type ra sti v limited cause they come only in 74f sonic blue mica to my knowledge. thank to your attention🙂

Really depends on if it is the STI or WRX but the best way is checking the vin plate.

@@OkiSubies it is a GC8C4DD engine is a EJ20GD TRANSMISSION IS TY752VB4CA. Am new to Subaru so it's a bit difficult to understand them 😅. Hope that information will help me understand what model it is.

@@kasimbamunthali952 haha well that should have been obvious for you man!! That is a DCCD 5 speed so yes sir, you definitely have an RA if that is what is on your vin plate.

@@OkiSubies 😅 thank you. As stated I am new to Subaru. Your pdf of the transmission has also helped a lot. So if I want to switch to a 6 speed transmission, do I get any Subaru Impreza transmission or I get the RA 6 speed transmission only?

@@OkiSubies it's not for racing it is for daily driving.
