FlyB0y Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Any ETA on them? I'm dying to see pics!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanislru Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 Picked them up today. Front pinion measures 34.5cm's Ring 17.5cms Rear pinion 36.5 cm's ring 16.5cm's. or is that backwards? I'll have to check it out a little more, a quick bolt count should tell all. Ill crack the D/R on monday and start to post comparison pics so we can all see whats what. As far as the pinion being to long the front is for a trannie w/o a transfer gear/center diff so it should fit nicely. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showphoto.php?photo=9702&sort=1&cat=500&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanislru Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 Rear diff ring is 8 bolt and front is 12. I think a stock d/r front ring is 11 bolt? Can't remember what the back was I will have to go out to the shop and look at one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailgatewagon Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 hum probably cant weld up the holes in the carrier as it is cast, but you might be able to clock it a bit and drill all new ones for the front. or you could weld up the carier and then drill it and see if it holds.

Vanislru Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 I don't think I'll need to weld anything unless the ring's circumference is to large, then I might have to cut and box the trannie a bit. I can't wait to take comparison pics of the r+p's on Mon. Maybe I can con a certain Mech. into helping me open up the trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyB0y Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Whooo Hooo!!! I don't understand all the details here, but if you can get this to work, I will definately make this the next major mod of my 'ru!! Why add more hp when you can go back to stock gearing with big tires (not big just bigger than stock .. 28" in my case:cool: ) and save your axles?

Numbchux Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Well, I just went downstairs and counted....8 bolts on a stock EA82 open rear diff. (donor parts from my LSD swap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailgatewagon Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 so i was talking to a machinest here and he told me that the carier is cast mallible(not spelled right but hopefully you can sound it out) and that shouldnt be a problem if you need to weld up the holes and drill them out. also for the pinnion shaft he said he could cut the gear off the end of the shaft and make it so one could slide the 444 gear on it then with some good welding and machining it would be all good. i may try and find a 444 trany here to tinker with....

ballitch Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 if 4.44's wont fit, does that mean that 4.111's wont fit also? if you cant get 4.44's, might as well have the next best thing. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heep70 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I was getting ready to post the same question. Whats up with the retro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanislru Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Progress!? ah well... Rianna's on bed rest with our 2nd babe right now and I've been hella busy with electrical contracting so not much progress. With any luck I'll have some results by the end of aug. aybe sooner but with the way things are going who knows? Hell I haven't even been out for a quick wheel in almost a month now :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 I think I was mislead. I thought the 4.44's were HERE!! Hummm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanislru Posted May 25, 2006 Author Share Posted May 25, 2006 I have them but haven't been able to install them yet, moved twice and pregnancy complication have kinda gotten in the way. I'm contracting, stand in mom, dad, pretty much WOT right now. Oh yeah work too. I cringe whenever I look at the D/R in the shop, timing can be a real *************** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballitch Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 if you come up w/ a formula for 4.44 gears in a 5 speed D/R box i will be forever grateful. it kinda sucks to be the first one to try something. ~Josh~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbchux Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 get a later jap legcy box - auto, comeswith 4.44 lsd. yep, as previously stated in this very thread, that's where this set came from, but the key is to get it to fit in an EA82 D/R box and still have the gears mesh properly.

Tbird Man Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I think it would be easier to have a custom gearset made, wouldn't it? I also thought that a setup similer to monster trucks might help, using planetaries in the hubs or maybe between the inside CV joints and the tranny.

Tbird Man Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 how is the EA tranny setup anyway? is it a shaft in a shaft, like the EJ manuals, or dose it have an ofset gear driven shaft to the front like the EJ autos? EDTI: and their going for the 4.44 AND D/R so the WRX driveline wouldent do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
