This might be a kinda dumb question, but can a Subaru CVT work in a conversion? Not talking about fitment or mounting it or anything like that, but could it possibly work outside of the donor car? I would think that they're electronically controlled, but I can't find any info on this anywhere online. Apparently Im the only guy thay wants to switch from manual to auto.
I'm happy I switched to subaru in my 914 and I'm now swapping a Subaru into my sand rail. I really like the idea of having a cvt in it. Thought I'd ask this here since there's a lot of subaru guys on this forum. Surely someone besides me has considered this. |

Well I think it sounds like it's going to be more work than it's worth. Maybe it's possible, and I do think it would be nice, but I guess I am not gonna be the guy to pioneer it. I checked the Megasquirt forums to see if anyone has been programming the CVT with it since that's what I'm using in my build. Looks like it hasn't been attempted yet. For now I think I'm gonna get a Legacy 3.6 and see if it bolts up to my Forester 6MT. Can't find any Legacy manual transmissions anywhere close to me, just CVT.
Thank you guys for your replies. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
