theflystyle Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 can this be done for the 3.0 with a 5eat? Sent from my iphone using tapatalk this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Paynter Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 this! As mentioned before, there should be no reason this wouldn't work on a 3.0. Nothing in the swap has to do with the engine so it should work the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewsweet Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 SICK. I found the swap to 6-speed was effortless lol. Good to see another 6-speed 4th gen in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktm200 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Really looking forward to the write up. I've gone back and forth a lot between considering saving for the 6mt swap for the rest of the year, or trading in for a Spec.B It would be a little more for the swap but my car is a known quantity, I am the only owner and know the history. A high mileage Spec.B on the other hand. . . . how abused it was would be a mystery. At 4-5k+ to trade up to a Spec.B, I'm really looking forward to pricing out a swap.

discojon Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Does cruise control work ? Seconded. If you have figured out how to do a clean and complete conversion, I will be the next to jump on board. I just finished up a 5mt to 6mt spec-b so I know whats involved. It's just the lack of the completeness that I don't want to deal with on a DD. Here is hoping.

Dead Mr. Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 You didn't have any issues with your ECU working? Interested what to see what you did for the wiring.

Vaders_3.0R Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 ^+1 Seems like the "hardware" works out fine but the "software" I've heard is a pain but can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discojon Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 ^+1 Seems like the "hardware" works out fine but the "software" I've heard is a pain but can be done. We've known the hardware works for a while now, with the exception of the transmission cross member that needs modified. Its the wiring and computers that are the issue Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Mr. Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 My swap is requiring I get a Motec standalone, so I'm hoping that will solve my wiring issues if I decide a manual is in my future since the ECU doesn't need to talk to the tranny at that point anymore. I know the physical wring on the tranny itself is easy enough to swap Reverse lights, Neutral switch etc... and the hardware is cake but the ECU is the real issue. I remember for Imprezas you can swap in the Manaul ECU and just add or remove a ground but you also needed to swap the ABS pump as the manuals and autos are different and there is a timing belt guide that's goes on the block that keeps the belt on the cranks drive gear that manual cars had but Autos did not because there was no potential shock between shifts on the Autos. Not sure if the Legos are the same but my engine is Chain Driven and it is not an issue for me. The easiest way would be to swap in the manual dash harness and ABS pump but that only works for GTs as my car is a 3.0r and there was no option for a manual. I do plan on attempting a 5mt GT swap into my 3.0r at some point but I need to finish my EZ36 swap and then let my wallet have a breather lol.

lockmedic Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 *no option for a USDM 3.0R manual. There is a JDM 3.0R 6MT ECU for sale in the classifieds right now. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/ca-bay-area-used-2005-jdm-subaru-legacy-spec-b-227262.html?t=227262&highlight=ez30r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
