Re: That pretty well sums it up...

I don't think they had a manual gear box, that would take the load produced by the high diff ratio. May be they should have offered a choice of diff ratios. You could then have ordered a car to suit the type of driving. 3.5:1 for high speed cruise, or 4.1:1 for commuting or shopping trolley use. Harvey.

So the engine line would be lower and so would be the centre of gravity. I haven't seen any six cyl. Legacys out here in Ozz only the Out back, they were to have come out back in 99 I waited, nothing happened, so I got the next best six, the SVX . I am also a fan of supercharging, having built a few over the years for road and track. Harvey.

I think a US Co. tried this setup, with a bent drive shaft under the floor, Buick maybe? Harvey.

Re: My dream layout
Quote:
We all dream, thats how things get invented. That would be the GO, the sump could still be wet, as there is plenty of room for it under the cylinders. The transfer box could be the new B4 Legacy unit which varies the torque front and rear. The drive shaft could run around the side of the flywheel area by three uni joints to keep the diff on the centre line. Who needs to drop the sump pan, nothing goes wrong in there and overhauling the front diff wouldn't cost a $3500k transmission overhaul. Just a call to Mr Nissan to send another diff. It does open a lot of possible options for Subaru to use. This engine can go up to 3.8 lt, which would put the Legacy in the same class as the bigger Nissans, Toyota, Mitsubishi, but with AWD, could use the extra power to advantage. I have had to withdraw the Titanium stars, as some people were using them for buttons on transfer clutch plates Harvey.

"I have had to withdraw the Titanium stars, as some people were using them for buttons on transfer clutch plates "
I prefer Inconel, makes for very long lived exhaust systems But talking to a local shop with experience working with both they likened the choice between the two to a decision between lukemia or lung cancer |
