probably not. there are many aspects that are going to prevent this. the simplest being size. second, 5th will be setup for syncros to a missing 6th. and, you will have an absolutely crap top end ratio.
by "expensive as ballsac" you mean expensive but still cheaper than a proper STi tranny swap, yes? Because if you want something good in there, it's not like there are cheaper options.
hey guys, im running about 300hp in my wrx, would ppg's be overkill? im not looking to upgrade much more powerwise. Would RA's be good for my situation? thanks
i'm waiting for the Touge tunning gears. supposed to be be stronger than RA's and in better ratios, while being cheaper than PPG's. there's a thread on NASIOC about them. Andrewtech did the install and is currently testing them on a 350whp car.
RA gear sets are good but you shouls get the cryogenic RA gear set its much better. I happen to have a set. There used. I had them in my 02 wrx. let me know if you interested. If you buy them new there about $1900. Ill sell them for about 700
im gettn my wrx with in the next two weeks, and i really dont want to run the risk of breaking gears once i get it. i dont intend on hammering or launching at all with the car. i just would like the added comfort or knowing that my gears wont crap out on me
I've had my 05 for almost 3 years, 33K miles, I autocross it more or less once a month and still my tranny is mint. Granted, I drive like an old lady on the barbaric streets of South Florida, but every once in a while I open it up and let it loose. Mine is not too far out ther on mods but still, I think if you don't abuse it it won't break.
After reading page 58 in the december 07 Subie sport, i have more faith in RA gear strength. The time attack car is holding 410whp and torque with cryo treated and micropolished RA's. Ratio's are a different story tho. I'll keep waiting on the Touge gears.
