Does anyone know if it would be possible to utilize the EZ30D and 6 speed manual from the JDM-only Legacy 3.0R Spec B? If you utilized the ECU that comes with it, I'm thinking you could have a manual transmission without going to a third-party ECU, correct? Let me know if this has been talked to death already and I just missed it in my search.
I'm seeing that combo for about $3k on eBay and various JDM engine sites.
I have a 2006 JDM Outback with the EZ 30 "R"
It is a canbus car, that needs ( from memory) 5 matched components for the factory ecu to work, including the dash cluster, key, transmission control unit, ecu etc
In other words, get a Megasquirt MS3 Pro EVOQuote:

Sounds like it would be more cost effective to just use a USDM EZ30 or EZ36 along with an aftermarket ECU. I was hoping I might have found a way to avoid the additional cost.
Ms3x will work fine just need to weatherproof it a bit. Already built with 6' harness around $800. Or buy the kit and 4-8hrs with the soldering iron. The second generation ez30 with dbw would require sourcing a cable throttle body to work with MS which I have learned a 4.0 Ford engine in Australia is a perfect match to the ez30 manifold.
I have a EZ30 in my 818 with a 6 speed transmission. I used a 6 speed with VSS and works great with the dash and aftermarket ECU
Wayne did you use impreza or outback cluster? I was hoping the tach from the outback would direct fit in the impreza cluster so the revs would be accurate. Ms3 can only double or half the tach signal output. I don't want to use the outback cluster as it has the transmission gear selector indicators in the center of the cluster.(might just cf wrap over it)Quote:
