So.............
I bought a Swapped EZ30R 914. It is running a WRX 5spd manual trans. It's mostly done and I'm cleaning up and wiring, but I've run into a problem with the axles. I got it with the driver side axle broken, and did not get the axle so I'm not sure EXACTLY what is actually broken. The long and short of this is obviously there IS an axle solution, because it's already been done once, but I'm not sure what that solution is. My guess is the axle is 914 with a Subie or similar CV swapped onto inboard end of it. My other option is a female stub axle that will work on the Subie trans (it has a male stub) and bolt to the 914 or even a 944 axle. Any and all help appreciated. To recap - Axle is 914 on outboard side with Subie female CV inboard. Thanks in advance. Fully custom axles aren't a terrible idea, but I don't know who could make the entire axle. Currently the company the axle is with wants $600 just to replicate the axle shaft, which is quite high. I'm located in the Bay, so PM me if you're local and can help. I'm not looking for freebies I just wanna drive this thing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Brian |

I think you are about 30-50hp more than my EZ30D so you may want to go with sway away or coldwater products. You do, however have the same drive train that I am using. I think. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Look about 1/2 way thru my build thread to verify. IIRC, its around pg 15. If so, the info is there as to what, where and how much.

I got a hold of Luis from 914s gone wild. he has a trick solution that will allow me to run 930 axles (which are bad ass) by milling the 930 stubs and using the Subie cups. I'll post pics as we get into it. Thanks. Killer input. If this fails then I will go the VW axle route, but I think for strength this is best. Finally feel like I'm getting somewhere instead of spinning my wheels, pun intended. |
