I hear the forester 5speed tranny bolts in quite nicely, was wondering if anyone has tested it to around 500 horsepower. if not then well i guess we will find out in due time.
Been working on different things for the past 4-5years... Transmissions, engines, boost, nitrous, you name it, I have more than likely tried it... Many of them yielded insufficient gains more or less due to a lack of tuning or crappy tuning. So right now your biggest hurdle will be tuning the stock ECU or the larger hurdle of trying to get a SA to work... Granted I could have used a SA if I want to have a one off custom install done by now, but I am still searching for other alternatives.

Re: horsepower goals...

i was planning on a standaline anyway. with searching i have found some good stuff to start with for the engine, can you reccomend a partictluarly strong transmission that bolts up nicely? from what i hear the 6mt isnt really able to handle a lot and many wrx guys stick with the 5 speed...

Blah, blah, blah. A nice 500 shot of NOS and it would be there. So long as the engine doesn't Jesse.

You can build 5mt's but you can also build 6mt's... 6 speeds are usually good for around 500 wheel reliably.

Yep, just got done with a week and a half out in Denver finishing up my latest Mars mission effort. Figuring out the best time this month for YT to come down so we can do the r180 install, then we'll see about those 20 crank hp
