Beetle Subamount now released!
Hi all,
http://www.subarugears.com is proud to announce the release of the
new Subamount for beetles. This provides a bolt-in rear mount for all Subaru engine and transmission conversions.
Made from three parts of 6mm steel, CNC laser cut and folded into shape. These parts use a tab/slot system to ensure perfect alignment before being
MIG welded into place. After welding, the external welds are polished down and a bright gold coating is applied to the Subamount.
The Subamount design provides a folded underside for additional engine mount support and stiffness in all directions. Additionally, 4 x laser cut
holes are provided on the underside for an engine and/or transmission "bash plate" to be attached by bolts or nuts/bolts.
These are now in stock and available for $200 AUD delivered to your door via TNT.
Some images :
Optimised torsion bar location (as close as possible!) :
Optimised shift rod location (clears above torsion bar and clears below sheet metal). (This photo is taken without any nose mount - just the Subamount
holding it in the perfect location) :
Perfect clearance for Subaflanges in both type 2/4 and type 930. Both IRS and non-IRS pan horns can be used :
Use the upper mounting holes to lower the driveline and use extended length Subaflanges. The lower driveline allows quad cam engines to fit under the
rear decklid :
Further development of a bolt-in/weld-in nose mount and double jointed shift rod connector is being undertaken and should be available down the track.

Hi Todd
Will these also work with the standard vw transmission, ie just an extra support for the wrx engine?

Hey Jak, great question - not sure of the answer. Doubt it will work in conjunction with an existing banana mount - but it should be able to replace
one and hold the driveline in stronger.
I have plenty here if someone wants one to fit into a completed build and document it.

Aloha Todd,
Congratulations! You have done it again. Now I have to figure out should I get it from you or wait until Raby gets them in the US ? |

You never know until you actually put one in a car.
You can probably use the upper mounting holes to have the engine lower and keep the VW trans higher when using an adaptor plate.
Doesn't faze me much - it's designed for Subie engines & Trans.
I guess I don't really want to encourage Subie engines and VW trans if I can help it.... :-)

Terry, depends on what box you need, which depends on what engine you want to run.
Pricing for our different fully built gearboxes is on the website in the Products section.

Hi Todd,
How about a mount kit for a 914? Is that on the cards at all?

Nope, no plans whatsoever. There's a guy on 914world forums already doing them - they look pretty good!

Yep, seen them but wondering whether there may be a local option. Still debating the merits of both another 914 and this engine change.....
