Hi everyone,

Few questions regarding the above for the drivetrain gurus..

- What model Subaru's had an R160 3.9 ratio rear crown wheel and pinion fitted?

- Are they hard to find 2nd hand?

- Theoretically if i was obtaining a gearbox that would have a 3.9 front diff fitted and 1:1 drop gears, would it be easier to obtain and drop in a 3.54 rear crown wheel and pinion, and a set of 1.1:1 drop gears?

Cheers

Subarus' I know of that have a 3.9 r160 rear diff are:

Gen1 Liberty manual AWD - not sure about the dual range gearbox equipped Libs though
gc8 NA Manual Impreza
V1/2 STI-RA

It's not that hard to get a 3.9 r160 open rear diff from a NA Subaru, but if you are thinking of using it in any performance application keep in mind the rear diff cases from the NA Imprezas' will need grinding to fit a LSD. Otherwise you can just rip the gears out and fit them into a case already cast to fit a LSD.

Thanks for that.

It will be going into an LSD case, I'd only be using the 3.9 CWP

Joe MMS has upteen CWP laying around. THey would more than likley have a 3.9 ( I know my old one is there somewhere maybe)

If Joe were to NOT be a jew, what R180 3.9 options would be available?

you can get 3.9 R180s from 02-05 STIs

05 STIs had the plated 3.9 R180 which is the best.
Sureslip LSDs in the 02-04 suck in comparison
