Dufek125 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 so guys, its 2am and I should been asleep hours ago for work at 4am buuut i decided itd be way more fun to start work on the second lgt in the driveway, anyways, my front cv shafts are shot and i was debating on just removing them because its now the project/hopefully svx swap/pipe dream car and i like to experiment. anyways..coming from a toyota 4x4 background i did alot of work with the front IFS stuff and lockouts and what not and it got me to thinking..is there or has there been anyone to try and make what would basically by a lockout hub for the subaru awd system? maybe cutting the cvshaft in half, cutting a keyway in both halfs and making some sort of dis/engageable coupler to go between the two? My mind tends to wander on these long nights and figured id see if anyone else has tried venturing down this road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underground000 Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 1st: the rear axles are not meant to hold 100% power so those are going to break then can the center diff really hold/send 100% power to the rear wheels - idk what type of center diff is in your car, theres the viscous on and geared ones..... fwd bias ones are viscous thingy 5eat downshift rev match:) Powder coated wheels: completed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dufek125 Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 im either gonna weld the center diff or like the thread i just posted said find one outta an old datsun or 300zx, that way i wont have any problems with it, granted that may delete the awd depending on the gear ratio but i could still make it possible to have a fwd or rwd car if I decided to go with a 4eat( stupid idea but its whats in the car right now, but they originally kept the svx power ok with a tranny cooler so maybe it would be the way to go..). Like i said as well, this is my project/play around car, not my DD, so im not worried about that side of things. Parts come real easy for me on these seeing as how I work at an autoparts store and know one of the subaru techs in the area pretty well. And I know theres a video of a guy on here somewhere I cant find right now that turned his 2nd gen into a drift car by basically removing the front have shaft minus the spindle that holds the bearring together and welded the rear diff.

Dufek125 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 im not trying to make a rwd subaru,I guess to a point, but im talking about full selectivity between fwd, rwd, and awd, depending on your driving situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsnaple Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I thought about cutting my front axles, since my duty c is messed up it basically locks up the clutch pack right? But shortly after that thought was f it I'll just fix it instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are these driving situations you are referring to that would require the selectivity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ25subie05 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 With FWD? didn't see the part about having fwd selection as well... all that talk about rwd made me think he wanted to drift it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dufek125 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 awd for winter, dirt, handling, fwd for gas mileage? or just cause, and rwd for handling, playing around in the snow and mud, never really put tons of thought into the different driving conditions more about how to possibly make it work lol.

underground000 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 you're not going to notice that much better gas mileage in fwd since there is parasitical drag w/ the rear wheels 5eat downshift rev match:) Powder coated wheels: completed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
