DIFFERENTIAL COVER TO SUIT FLIPPED SUBARU R160 DIFFERENTIAL

CNC milled from 6061 billet aluminium, this differential cover has been designed to be used on a flipped (upside-down) R160 differential.

The Subaru R160 differential is the most common of the Subaru differentials. The R160 is an 'open' differential that came standard in the Liberty / Legacy, Impreza, Outback and Forester 

The reason the differential would be flipped is to obtain a 'reverse drive'. See our 'Syncaru' build on the REVERSARU youtube channel where we take a 2WD T3 Vanagon and convert it to 4WD using the full Subaru drive train and a flipped Subaru R180 - WRX STI differential up the front of the Vanagon. 

Use this diff case if you are using a R160 differential. 

When flipping a differential, you are unable to re-use the original differential cover as the filler and drain holes end up in the incorrect positions after it's flipped. 

The REVERSARU flipped differential cover relocates the drain hole to the bottom as it should be, and the filler plug is located higher than standard in order to raise the oil level up to the pinion bearing level so that the pinion bearing continues to receive lubrication from the differential oil.   

• The differential cover comes with 1x filler plug & 1x drain plug.  
• Also comes with 1x breather barb that screws into the machined thread at the top of the cover
