Hey guys, here's that girdled diff cover I was talking about. This is a direct replacement for the diff cover on the 95-99 2g's. They're still working on the 3000GT conversion cover but if it isn't complete by the time I'm ready for it, at least this one looks beefy enough to last a little while ...

Yeah the rear end is still up in the air. I'm really hoping the 3000GT - 2G diff cover has been completed by the time I come around to doing it, but who knows, maybe the girdled 2g cover will hold up fine. I'm hoping to shoot for 450 to the wheels anyways with the capability of 550 so I'm most ...

any more info on the electric water pump? Where did you buy the motor from? How does it bolt up to the housing/block? Is it a single speed or can you hook it up to the coolant temperature and have it circulate more/less depending on conditions. I'd probably want to run it at max all the time, but I ...

Whered you find that exhaust manifold? Ive wanted an inverted one since the start but cant seem to locate one

Actually it started out as a factory-style bottom mount tubular manifold, but I cut the head flange off at the end of the runners, flipped it 180 degrees and had it re-welded by one of ...

Alright guys, here are those photos I promised you a couple of days ago. Underneath are picks of the waterpump, intake, exhaust manifold and throttle body. Looking forward to making some progress on this thing in the next week.

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of info on the project as of late, I've been really busy. I've made a few changes to the design in the previous months. I don't have any up to date pictures as of yet but I'll hopefully be uploading some tomorrow.

I've ditched the rear-end swap idea in favor of an ...

I agree with the going step by step part. I've accepted that what I'm doing isn't very common, so I understand where you're coming from. As for the rear suspension/diff. My plan was to get it all completed with whatever diff I use right off the bat. That way I'm not stuck getting two custom ...

Wow... I'd love to know how he did that... Any idea how to get a hold of him? I'd love to know what he did with the steering rack to make it fit. Especially if he repositioned it in front of the motor... Custom knuckles? If you have any info on how to get a hold of him please let me know... I'll do ...

Yeah, I've had a bit of experience with both transmissions. I like the R-154 because it feels strong. Defintely very notchy but that just adds to the effect haha. The W58 definitely shifts nicer and at work we've got a Mk. III Supra making 700hp at the wheels with the W58 with no problems... yet ...

6-Bolt 4G63 in a '97 2G Talon... RWD Style!

Hey everybody, been doing some reasearch on this site for quite awhile now so I thought I'd join. I realize this is a site based on people swapping 4g's in to rwd layout's, but I'm going for something different.

I've owned many DSM's in my time so I'm quite familiar with the 4g63, my most ...
