cyrus Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Recently I have had my heart set upon doing a 4WD swap into a car. I would like it to a manual trans set up. I would like to use a Turbo LS1 series engine. With about 7-800 hp. I have done a Supra TT swap into a 240 and now need another challenge. I figure the key to this is the transmission. What manual transmission can be used? I got the idea of a 6 speed skyline getrag or possible some truck transmission. Any got any info or articles for me? Thanks. Mods is it ok for this be here?

JMortensen Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 How about a Syclone driveline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeboost Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I've seen a couple of skyline awd setups in S30s, but they also used the RB engine/tranny. I don't know if you could work something out with the LSx setup... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrus Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 How about a Syclone driveline? I have thought of that one. A Bravada Osmobile is the same. But how to get a manual on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoov100 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 no, but you should be able to adapt a t56 to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letitsnow Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Early 90's s10 with a turbo sbc mated to a big stalled 4wd th400, 9" in the back and a dana in the front...... It wouldn't turn well, but damn would it be fun in a straight line. I don't think there's an easy way to get a good 4wd manual transmission, I believe a few people have mated t56's to a transfer case with a custom adapter but I don't have any info because it was too far out of reach for me..

Administrators BRAAP Posted January 20, 2009 Administrators Share Posted January 20, 2009 Think Summits Quadra Deuce! Sy-Ty transfer case mated to a T-56! With the LSx in the nose of an S-30, maybe even some creative firewall massaging to mount it a little further back, there is enough room in-front/beside the damper for an R-180 or R-200 up front. The biggest hurdle will be the tunnel clearance for the front driveshaft! Found this, if it helps? http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=43911 There is already an AWD V-8 powered 260-Z 2+2 terrorizing tracks and hill climbs in the southern hemisphere, so it can be done... Kevin Mackrell's V-8 AWD 260-Z! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAW4oPQUzYs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 not in a Z, but the local garage where I used to live have taken a Holden 308 V8 (chev smallblock) powered Kingswood ute and changed the drivetrain to a Toyota Hilux (4runner) 4wd. There are adapters out there already to do the SBC into the Hilux engine bay, so doing a Hilux driveline on a SBC is simple reverse engineering (or not so simple ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrus Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 BRAAP That was AMAZING! Here the catch I have found. 4wd only works in snow as there is no slip in the wheels. All mech driven together. So AWD is the bomb as viscous or torsen couplers allow for internal slippage on hard pavement. So unless the slipper is in the divorced transfer case w the T56 it will not work. I am now wondering about the 6L80 AWD Trans!!! I never though and auto could rock!
