bradze Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 i assume there are a lot more differences besides the different engine and transmission. please educate me. thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnyJagaru Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I think a visit to Subaru's website under the "Build" section should draw attention to the differences. Where I live 3.6R are driven by more "mature" people who don't believe a four cylinder car is powerful enough to option with air conditioning.

bradze Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 honestly, who offers air conditioning as an option? thats about as standard as a steering wheel now. oh, i see what you're saying now. i know the 3.6 has bigger front brakes and i think stiffer springs, but i only wanna know about the engine/trans and things like that.

THE RZA Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I remember on the old 3.0R Model, it was very similar to the LGT as far as suspension and interior options went. The 07-09 Models had the SI drive, dual zone A/C, LGT Brakes and suspension. TBH in my 2.5 while running the AC in the summer at full blast on the hottest day I have no issues with power.

DonnyJagaru Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I hear the CVT in the new H6 works like a champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradze Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 yeah, that trans is continually updated. it works with the diesel as well in other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 08 the 3.0 was only offered as a single model. In 09 there was the base and then the 3.0R Limited. The 08 3.0R came with Bilstein suspension but im not sure about the 09s.

I believe there was a difference in the brakes as well. But I am not sure on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredrik94087 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Are we discussing differences between 5th gen or 6th gen?

fredrik94087 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 5th gen differences of which I know. 3.6r vs 2.5i. auto vs cvt/6mt (obvious) H6 vs H4 (obvious) Brakes (slightly larger on 3.6R and shared with 2.5GT) Front anti-sway bars are different but same size 26mm (2013+) "It's within spec" - SOA "Depth is only shallowness viewed from the side." - Fredism "So, how much did it cost for your car to be undriveable ." - Stephen (very close friend) "You have done so much it would be stupid to go back." - Sunny of Guru Electronics 2018Q50RS | 2015WrxThread | Shrek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradze Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 ok, thanks, i knew all that except the front sway bar. im just curious if ill be able to put an ez36/5EAT in my car when my engine or transmission dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add rear diff, possibly driveshafts, and ECU. It's a tough one. I've been toying with the idea of a 6mt swap and that looks hopeless.

Scoobyflat6 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Is that true? I've been looking into the 6mt for the 3.6R, and from what I understand the 6mt that came on the 3.0R would bolt up to our block? Is that not true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking into the 6mt for the 3.6R, and from what I understand the 6mt that came on the 3.0R would bolt up to our block? Is that not true? Why not a 6mt from 2010+ 2.5gt? It is not a matter of fitting. It is a matter of your dash turning into a christmas tree and not having someone who can decode it and get you on your way.

Scoobyflat6 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Bc the 3.0 trans is already set up for a 6 cylinder motor so there wouldn't be to much to change around in the tcu to put it on the 3.6. Plus the bellhousing will be the same so it would bolt right up to the block, the linkage is one of the things im not sure about yet. Would the 2.5gt trans even bolt up? I thought they were different from the 3.0 trans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were different from the 3.0 trans? New Zealand 2.5gt has a 5eat offering for 2013. That right there tells you the bellhousings are the same. If you do a swap to manual whether from a 3.0 or a 2.5gt, successfully, you will be my hero "It's within spec" - SOA "Depth is only shallowness viewed from the side." - Fredism "So, how much did it cost for your car to be undriveable ." - Stephen (very close friend) "You have done so much it would be stupid to go back." - Sunny of Guru Electronics 2018Q50RS | 2015WrxThread | Shrek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
