Max Capacity Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I should have done this swap a decade ago in my wagon. This is a good deal for someone thinking about doing this swap. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it. Engine Build - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAdanno Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 What is the model number of the trans? Would you add a closeup (macro) picture of the model number? There's a good list of the type of limited slips in front and rear diffs, based on the model. Also, does this have a DCCD controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good list of the type of limited slips in front and rear diffs, based on the model. Also, does this have a DCCD controller? Trans has the casting code TY85 on the side. There's a sticker with a number on it as well which I'm not able to make out. Rear diff has a code 326B in yellow ink, 3.54 FDR. I don't have a DCCD to go with this.

steelbluesleepr Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) sorry, newb here, I'll delete if you want me to. Is all of that required to do a 6 speed swap from a 5spd manual? I can't just swap the transmission and maybe the main driveshaft over? Edited April 13, 2020 by steelbluesleepr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6 speed is a longer transmission, and the driveshaft is shorter to compensate. Have to match the final drive ratio using this sti R180 rear diff with a 3.54 FDR. The rear axles are special hybrid axles for 6 speed swapped legacies. Front axles are the only item that might be interchangeable but they’re to be sold with the complete set.

gkinslow Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression Spec B rear axles were required to make STI transmission swap work on LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasha Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression Spec B rear axles were required to make STI transmission swap work on LGT. This only the case if you are running an R180. Correct me if I'm wrong but that diff looks like an R160 to me. However, what people also do if running an R180 is they take the cv going into the r180 and put it on the r160 shaft hence "hybrid", but what you actually made is a spec b axle.

Yasha Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 See post #7. This is an R180 with hybrid axles. I honestly don't know man. That diff cover is clearly R160. Not trying to reduce the reputation of the seller, I just don't want somebody who doesn't know better thinking they are getting an r180. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the larger R180 to me. And the rear half-shafts look beefier as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a R180 diff cover the studs go into a continuous long rectangular protrusion that spans across the diff. On a R160 diff cover the studs go into 2 separate small rectangular protrusions where each stud goes into its own little protrusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chhrisd Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 I'm interested in this but I agree with the poster above, it looks like an R160 diff. OP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecklessWOT Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Is this still available all this time later? And has the rear diff discrepancy been cleared up yet? Is it a 160 or 180? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a R160 diff cover the studs go into 2 separate small rectangular protrusions where each stud goes into its own little protrusion. I second this. Just bought an R180 and it does not look like the one pictured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
