+1, I totally agree.

But...some people like to tinker, build their own stuff, and that's cool.

Yeah but those also won't rev over 9k and I'll let you check to see where and EJ22t puts the CR with D25 heads

I missed this thread earlier. I'm working on something very similar. Tube frame, mid-engine RWD, 1500 lbs (TBD). After talking with subie friends and then people on here, I decided on an ej22t with s20 heads (were cheaper and I'm on a serious budget.) I think you'll get a good powerband with an increased compression ratio on e85. I'm shooting for something closer to 300 tq/whp, so I'm not going as crazy all out as you. Having the turbo relocated also really gets the power started early. Look at the 2010 LGT power curve.

Anyways, I think you're on the right path. I'll keep an eye on this build ...should be fun!

Looking at a current photo just released today


I don't think there'll be room to mount the turbo that way.

After 3 months of searching, including two guys who reneged on selling me one,


I now own a EJ22t case.






Good view of the closed deck, Oil squirter holes in mains 2 and 4.



Top and Bottom


EJ22t OEM Oil squirters. Removed with a 8mm long socket. Those threads are M5 (5mm). Tiny. They're barely had any torque holding them in.

3MI Racing's Micah wanted to see better shots of the EJ22t case halves mating surfaces. Who ever separated my case used screwdrivers. Which is bad, M'kay.

Kinda a bummer, but it looks like you can't put a six-speed in it either. The tail housing is missing off of that 5-speed in the pic and it's almost poking out the back as it is.

So far this and no option for AWD are the only downsides i can find to building a car like this. Very cool.

Once again the STI 6mt will not fit.

Three reasons:
1. It's too long
2. FFR is not making a 'lock out kit' for the 6mt center diff. Pretty sure there's not an aftermarket one either.
3. Must convert 6mt shift linkage to cable operated. FFR is only providing for the 5mt.

There is the 2010+ Legacy Trans - 6 speeds in the 5mt case!

Here's the gearing:
Gear Ratio -------- Top speed (mph) assuming 245/40R17 tires and 7250 rpm limit
1st: 3.454 --------- 35
2nd: 1.947 --------- 62
3rd: 1.296 --------- 93
4th: 0.972 --------- 123
5th: 0.825 --------- 145
6th: 0.695 --------- 173
Final: 4.444:1

I'm not considering this transmission for my personal project. Ijust know it exists.

I know what FFR has said....

1. How much longer?

2. There are options

3. Not that big of a challenge.

I'm just wondering how much longer it is. If I decide to do a 6mt it's very much possible but I'm not sure that's what I would do.

40 psi baking soda blast. I was tempted to turn up the pressure so I could get it done faster but left it low. I avoided the mains and rear main seal machined surfaces.



This is how it looked before. I honestly thought it was painted black.

The question I have is why would you even consider a 6MT on a car this light? 5MTs won't grenade if you beat on them with a <2000 pound RWD and you can get a used 5MT + whatever factory gearing suits you + motorsports diff all for less money and weight than a 6MT.

5MT actually seems very well suited towards the application. Maybe I'm missing what the advantage of the 6MT would be in this application?

I don't want to clutter this thread with my stuff


I have my reasons for wanting to do a 6mt in my setup. Haven't made any decisions yet. But we shall see. I am working with a couple people on the FFR forums for a different body style than the current 818. And also low power won't be what I'm doing. 700+whp will be the name of the game with massive down force.

I'll do a build thread when it comes closer to that.

Sorry for the thread-jack.

I was simply stating an observation i had made about the picture...wasn't intended to annoy or piss anyone off. Certainly not to make someone have to go out of their way and take the time to quote themselves to show us that they had already graciously provided information on this topic.

I agree with Concillian and won't be puting a six speed in mine, i think the longer gears would be better suited for street use...but since the question has been asked:

The advantages of a six speed are still the same in this car as they are in any car. They went to a 6-speed in the miata and BRZ, they are both lightweight vehicles. Six gears changes the ratio of each gear, you can have six shorter ratios instead of five longer ones (to achieve the same final gear ratio). This means that each gear effectively has a shorter rpm range and you have more choices to keep the car in the powerband of your engine setup.

Nothing about running a six speed in this appication was about grenading anything.

Just but kurt to hurry up and release his flywheel and bellhousing adapter for the Boxster S trans (getrag 6mtl380)...so that I can use the one sitting in my garage

I know what I have cooking for Matty and well, talking with Matt Monsoon at Guard Transmissions might be worth a call for Matt. Tell him I sent you and that'll save some briefing as he and I've talked about this trans before.

I thought that adapter was already out? Or is there a different one being made?

I don't think Kurt ever released it. I'd asked and he wanted to thoroughly track test it first.
