same answer to both questions (as they are mounted the same)

to cut a long story short it can be done but its not cheap and requires some custom work.

it would be a lot easier if you had a wrecked shell of a legacy/wrx to start with tho.

I would not fit a wrx box to the ea81 as it is already under powered,and running an awd box on it would pretty much make it un driveable.

To fit an ej20t and running gear in you will need,a donor car pretty much,need engine,gearbox,ecu,wiring loom,front cross member,rear diff,axles, drive shafts.

You will have to adapt the front cross member to fit the brumby chassis,if the engine is a quad cam then u will have to cut the brumby chassis to get clearance.

You will have to run the front and rear hubs and brakes,the fronts should be able to be fitted/ adapted easily enough, BUT the rear end will be difficult as the brumby runs a torsion bar rear end,so does not have the mount points to run the coils from a wrx,

So it is doable and has been done before,if you have plenty of time and money then it will be a good project..

Just to give u an idea, a mint fully restored brumby on trademe would go for about 5-6k, a LEGAL fully complient brumby/STi will cost in excess of 10k to build but will still only be worth 5-6 k

no, no and no, maybe they axle will join at the gearbox end but no the hub end

As Dubbed up said, a Later model gearbox of an EJ series engine will NOT bolt up, it will need an adapter plate I believe,U can get the CV's to work but not sure how,Have a look at Jesus/Keltics's Hatch build as he done it,also go over to OLDSCHOOL.co.nz and have a look at the brumby and Keltic's build...

Why are u trying to fit a EJ gearbox to it ??? AWD will be no help,if you want a 5 speed then look at getting a gearbox from a later EA82 car as these are all 5 speed and WILL bolt straight up,this is what will be going into my brumby as I have 3 spares :)

Roughly 3,000rpm @ 100km/h.

      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
