4.11 RWD EJ Trans to T-Case

[mthoodsub]

Ive found threads on other forums talking about making an EJ AWD trans into RWD

 

What im wondering is if anybody has thought about using this with a T-case? Rather than an EA D/R.

 

I know the plus side with the D/R is that you can go 1st/lo/lo.

 

as with the ej trans it would only by 1st/lo

 

This would be in a legacy, so i wouldnt need to mount the d/r, which i like.

 

What do you guys think?

 

Im only going for ease of process, right now. But I will go for broke, if you guys think it would be better:grin:

The EJ's centre diff welded up is stronger then the EA's transfer case. But just so you know the rest of the box is pretty much the same so no benefit there. I've driven many 4WD's with stock and extra low range gears. I would suggest if you are not using the Subaru's 1.59 to 1 low range in conjunction with the extra Tcase (2.25 to 1 - 2.8 to 1 is normal gearing in these) you should upgrade the low range gears in the extra Tcase. Something like a 4 to 1 is good and will put less stress on the rest of the car.

When using an extra transfer case the diff ratio of the gearbox has no meaning as you don't use the diff in the gearbox so you can use 4.44, 4.11, 3.9, 3.7's or what ever. Just pick your diff ratio to match your over sized tyres so you stil can drive on the street well. Also remember 4.44's will be weaker then the others as the pinion gear gets pretty small on those boxes.

 

 

Just my 3 cents
