Awesome work! Maybe we can meet up this coming year to drive to the shootout, I imagine you pass pretty close to me in Pittsburgh if you're coming from NJ

cruuz

It'll all depend strickly on what trans and diff you use, and chances are good that you'll have to get one made

cruuz

Just want to make sure that a factory rwd water pump(like from a MM) will bolt straight up to replace my 1g unit without trouble? I'm retaining my power steering and by looking at pics I dont see any reason it won't work. If so I'll run one of those. Also, it's been so long since I've seen it ...

cruuz

Smallest trans in physical size is the MM/D50, also the cheapest. (Maybe you knew that already) It sounds like this is a buggy on a students budget, so it seems like a logical choice anyways. Find a beat down 1g turbo dsm for cheap and buy the whole car, strip everything you need out of it and scrap ...

cruuz

Yeeesssss! Keep going, glad to see you back on the warpath

cruuz

No major fabrication news, but a huge step forward in the build. Bought a house with a 4 car garage, and finally got to move the project in :D Work will progress much quicker now that its only steps away, that is after I'm done recovering from hernia surgery :? Pics

AWESOME colt man, can't wait to see a build for that

cruuz

Is the MC you listed a good candidate for use on the mighty max trans, instead of the wilwood?

cruuz

Grrrrrrrrrr just spent 4 days at my parents house remodeling their kitchen, and having to walk past my project without working on it

i just wanna finish the damn thing

cruuz

Just to confirm the general concensus, none of these work without being modified right?

cruuz

Or maybe I should just stick with a rhd rack from an evo 1-3, I bet the power steering pump is the same or very similar to the 1g. Hmmmm......

cruuz

good deal. plus you'll have more aftermarket support for the evo diff

cruuz

Did you check the auto trans cars? I'm pretty positive they came with a 3.1x

cruuz

the lsd from a 3000gt auto is 3.1x if i'm not mistaken, you could use the irs from that. i've also heard from many people that those rear ends are pretty tough. once i roast my 3bolt stocker, a 3000gt unit is what i'll be looking into

cruuz

Anybody see a problem with using a rhd steering rack out of a 240sx and flipping it to move it in front of the axle-line?

cruuz

So very sorry to hear this Bill. Keep your chin up buddy, God bless

cruuz

Still have this?

cruuz

DOOO EEET!!!

cruuz

Man you sure are moving right along with this build, wish I had half the time you do

cruuz

Seeing that you're in NorCal, how do u plan to register this bastard? Just curious.....

Anywho, I'm biased towards the early-gen s10's. I have one right now that has 175k miles on the odo with a tired factory motor, it's next in line after I finish converting my eclipse. Parts are so cheap and easy ...

cruuz

where are u located?

cruuz

yeah i noticed how much you had cut out, i'm really hoping that i don't end up having to do any of that. the most i'm planning right now is to get rid of this little 'ridge' at the front edge of the trans tunnel, i'll prolly just use a sledge and invert it up into the body. or if i tear into the ...

cruuz

ok everyone, i finally feel like i have something worthwhile to post up 8)
i've had this car for a while now, and like many other daydreamers thought it would be awesome to go rwd. i also fully intend on retaining power steering, a/c ect. a while back i ran upon this site and here we go >
this is ...

cruuz

VERY nice my man, and that Lake Havasu pic is epic. kudos to you for driving it back, i bet u guys had a blast. i try to go cross-country by auto or moto whenever possible

cruuz

Hiya

nice 1g's, sorry to hear about the fate of the black one. Maybe you should just convert your silver car

cruuz

haha that's soooo funny, i thought the exact same thing about my rack! mine is also located just off of the firewall, and at first thought about trying to source a RHD rack for the same exact reason, to flip it and move it in front of the axle :o i think i'm just going to end up using a rack out of ...

cruuz

This is such an awesome project, I'm actually starting the chop-up of my front k-member tomorrow for my 1g dsm. I wish your pics were bigger :? so I could see how you worked yours out. Did you use the factory steering rack but move it up in front of the axles? I couldn't really tell in the pics. And ...

cruuz

I read that too, way to go Bill

cruuz

I think you may have mistaken this site for a general rwd motor swap forum, but we're pretty exclusive to the 4G63 motor here. Not that we don't like other platforms, and haven't worked on them or built them, but it might take you quite a while to get specific answers here :?
As far as your ...

So I got myself a d50 trans, now I need the extended shifter housing off of a starquest. Anybody have one or know where to get one, I'd much appreciate it

thanks a bunch

-jake

cruuz

first off, i have to start with saying that this project is way rad, i dig it :D especially the tilt-forward front end
maybe i'm missing something or looking at the pics in the wrong way, but i'm having a hard time visualizing the driveline angle. to me it looks as if the tail shaft of the trans is ...

cruuz

just bought the jay-kit and it dosnt the pulleys, not even close...

So you're saying that they revised the design and it clears the pulleys, right? Are you using all dsm components, or do you have a different w/p or pulley? I ask because I have a 1g dsm set up currently in the works, and will buy ...

cruuz

In the EXCEEDINGLY excessive amount of reading I've done over the last 10 years or so, a common trend seems to be that the lines will be low on the restrictive list relative to other parts such as rail or filter. I must follow this by saying that this is only my findings from reading, I don't have ...

cruuz

Damn guys I'd be willing to drive the flatbed and load the equipment in OK, if it comes down to that. Plenty of heavy equipment experience on my part. Just let me know.

cruuz

I just seriously hate running 3400 rpms at 70 on the highway, I think it's too high. I'd be happy with 3k @ 70mph

cruuz

To my knowledge, our only 6 speed option is the T56, which bill has so kindly produced a housing for. A 6 speed is my goal too, cos I'd really like to get my highway rpms down some more, but I can't seem to find a T56 for less than like $1200. That's quite a chunk of change considering u still need ...

cruuz

Hey there, I might be interested soon in some of your parts, I'll be getting my tax return shortly

I'm in Pittsburgh, so I'd be able to come at least most of the way out to pick up. Hopefully we'll be talking soon, I'll pm u when the time comes

-jake

cruuz

hey dennis, have you gotten any farther with this project? i'm interested to know since i'm in the planning stages with an '90 gsx.
