Hi folks,
Would any one be able to tell me whether there is any differences between two gear boxes.
I am refferiung to the classic shape impreza sport gearbox and the full turbo'd impreza gearbox? internally and externally?


Many thanks,
Dan.

 

N/A Sport box is normally a "push" clutch whereas all turbo's use "pull" type clutch (apart from 2.5 WRX>)

 

Thank you for your help, i assume the gear ratios and bolt patterns are the same?

 

I don't think a non turbo box will work on q turbo without lots of work

 

That's OK, I'm not trying to do that, i have an on going project currently using a non turbo box which i am having to make an adapter plate to mate the gearbox to the engine.
But if the turbo box is stronger then i will want to ugrade to a turbo box at a later stage.

The problem i am having however is, if the turbo box is as strong as the non turbo box then there is no point changing the gearbox in the future to a turbo one.
on the same hand though if the turbo one is as strong with better ratios but the bolt patterns are different to that of a non turbo box then it is pointless making an adapter plate for the non turbo box (which i currently have) and so i will need to wait till funds allow me to purchase a turbo box.

I hope that made sense, im not the greatest person at explaining thing,
Cheers,
Dan.

 

Lol is it a turbo engine, I have a ty752vbcaa and diff and prop spare I'd let it go for 250 its still on a half stripped car that has had light front end damage, think on a non turbo the hubs are different too

 

V2/3 sti box lsd front and back

 

Yes it is, twin turbo actually

Thanks, i will bare that in mind, but it may be a couple of months until i buy anything as i am also looking at a couple of other options as well.
just got to weigh everything up and decide which i think will be the better route to take. i will definitely contact you if i need the bits as soon as i know



Just so i dont come across as being held back or a little odd, i just dont want to rush into anything or give the wrong impression, it is a long term project which im putting as much time and research into as i can.

 

No impreza has two turbos,legacys do!

 

Just put one with matching codes.will have problems with diffs if dont all match

 

Yes.gears are thicker and stronger in turbo box. Wrx's and especially sti's have a all differnt variations with ratios and diffs,drive shafts etc. Just get correct one,trandmission code under bonnet on chassis plate

 

I never said it was a Subaru engine...

 

Thanks for that, i am assuming that ty752vbcaa is refering to the wrx sti gearbox?

 

yes mate sti box
