5spd gearbox on 2.5t motor

[Mat04]

I was wondering if I was to aquire a 2.5 turbo tuned by Sti front cut will my 5spd box out of my outback work with it? As the front cut is an auto box.

It will for a while.

[Mat04]

Fair enough good enough for me.

Auto and Manual computers compatible?
Clutch and flywheel? What clutch are you running? You can turn a 5 speed into splinters in no time with an uprated clutch..
I ran 215kw @ the wheels through my 5 speed, ended up having to change it as the clutch was slipping, and I didn't want to play silly buggers with the 5 speed any more.
In short, it all depends on a) how you drive, and b) the clutch you use.

[Mat04]

Just seen your post mate. What clutch you recommend dude? Standard obviously won't cope with the extra power.

I just had an uprated exceedy thing and a single mass flywheel. Worked up to a point.

[Mat04]

I don't intend on launching it hard or smashing shifts. Just want to take off easy, come on boost hard. I won't push it to hard till my finds build back up for a 6 speed conversion. Than it won't matter if it breaks my box or clutch.

What I had was fine at 210 at the wheels, so I would imagine you will be okay. And, as a plus the extra torque of the 2.5 will make it nicer to drive than my "big" turbo on a 2.0.

Ok cool that's the numbers I was hoping for. Do you know if I will need to mix and match clutch parts or will a off the shelf clutch work. Do I use my flywheel as the one I get with the engine is auto.

You will need a clutch and flywheel to suit. They are a different clutch to most other subaru things. Call A&Mauto and ask them what they recommend.
