QUOTE(ClayPerrine @ Apr 10 2023, 05:36 AM)  I want to ask a curiosity question here. Why use a WRX transmission? Why not use a Boxster/Cayman G86-21 transmission? My engine is the FWD version as it's more plentiful and much cheaper. The RWD 350z/G35/etc tend to get thrashed. FWD has the starter on the trans, no provision on the engine side. Box6 disadvantages: making a starter fit 175 lbs short gearing have to buy or make flywheel small dia bellhousing Not going to cost $100 Suby advantages: bolt on starter 100 lbs plenty of conversions to work from decent gearing coupler & axles & plate $300-500 Here is the kicker... Suby flywheel bolts on with a spacer which allows me to use all stock parts. I can make the adapter. Only cost $100 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) It's really a no brainer on my end. |

QUOTE(tygaboy @ Apr 10 2023, 08:09 AM) To @clayperrine Clay's question: Chris is handy and clearly likes to fab stuff so more of a DIY may appeal to him. Plus the aforementioned cost savings. Plus, I suspect Chris is a charter member of the "mine is different/special" club! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) That said, I've been noodling on re-powering my LS car with a Nissan V6 and, if I understand it correctly, Kennedy Engineering could supply a complete adaptor kit to the Boxster trans, if he wanted to go that way. I think this is more your forte (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) @tygaboy Nissan VQ37VHR to PDK Adapter Kit |

The starter is not a big deal to remedy, but I can't beat a 6 speed trans for $100.00. Post picts. I want to see this setup. |
