bell housings
any body know of a company that does type 9 conversion kits for diff engines
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, Chardonnay in one hand, Tequila in the other, body bearing battle scars and totally worn out, screaming- WOO HOO!! What a Ride!

most bellhousings seem to be sold by the companies associated with tuning/selling/building the particular engine so different companies for different
engine bellhousings.
...unless you can find who does the casting for all the different types (assuming it's one company not all done in different places)
Maybe try Titan, I had mine sent direct from them (the manufacturer) when I ordered it through a 3rd party (Rally Nuts) this is for a vx xe and
I'm quite certain it's the same one sold by sbd and probably yukspeed and others..
otherwise westfield/quantum/shawspeed for zetec se
practically everywhere sells duratec ones these days
raw do toyota stuff
rallydesign do cheap ally ford (rs2000) style jobbies
caterham or robin hood do/did some rover ones iirc
rv8 uses a t5 box with custom bellhousing or auto bellhousing and adapter plate if not using a rover box.

What's a diff engine? You can buy Type 9 bellhousings for Vauxhall engines, Rover K-Series and the old A-Series off the top of my head.

It would rip a type 9 to bits quite quickly I suspect.

not much point!! Even with a gearkit in it the type 9 won't stand over 275hp and 220lb ft of torque.
For a subaru turbo you'll need a stronger box.
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

I'd hazard a guess you'd need a mitchell cotts, quaiffe or elite box to cope with that sort of output. You might get away with an mt75 if
the integral bellhousing is machined off and an adapter bellhousing made, but then I thought that's pretty much what mithell cotts or one of the
other gearbox manufcaturers already did?!
otherwise a t5 will do the job but is big and heavy.
I'm assuming this isn't to go into a 7 type car as I thought flat 4's with all the ancillaries and turbo's were too wide to
fit? (not saying that it couldn't be done somehow though)

Maybe you could stick the turbos out the side panels and and the inlets in the fresh air. That would look pretty cool!

Can you not keep the Subaru box, and disable/loose the center diff and just use the output to the rear wheels?
Thanks

Get one of these! I've got a nice box out of a rwd Toyota Celica that will handle that sort of power.

A t5 will do the job, and it is not big and heavy. Similar dimensions and weight to a type 9. T5's are about 75lbs.

Not similar dimensions at all, quite a bit bigger. I bought one and it wouldn't go anywhere near the transmission tunnel that fits the type9.
Timf has a diagram of a t5 in his archive with dimensions iirc.

a tremec TKO at 600ft/lbs rating can be had for around $1600 in the states , they use a T5 type bellhousing if you were thinking that way . i think a
type 9 would fail before 220 ft/lbs torque .
an adapter plate can be made quite crudely as long as you can drill accurately - if the box will lend itself to that , otherwise machine the two
bellousings and weld them back together .
of course you could always manufacture a new bellhousing in steel as a prototype .
my choice would be a getrag with adapterplate .
