BC5 RS/RA 6 speed dccd + 5x114.3 hub swap


Hayks

Recommended Posts

Hi all so a good mate of mine has just bought a full version 9 drivetrain swap for his RS-RA. Looking for abit of info on weather the hubs will just be a direct bolt on swap and weather or not an auto drive shaft will work with the 6 speed or will we need to shorten the shaft? I know the diff flange is different on the later 6 speeds so can i also just swap the r160 flange onto the r180? Also i know with my bl5, to swap a r180 diff into that i need an aluminum (spec b) diff cradle. Is there any specific cradle that we will need? Cheers.

Yes, but you WILL need adjustable suspension to suit the BC5 that have a lower clevis that suits the front hubs wider mounting point. That is a non-negotiable. 

 

aka BC5 struts, and V9/10 STi lower clevis.

There are drive shafts that fit, I don't know exactly which one. @RaKid Knows as he's done it recently.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
