1300hp capable 6 speed swap who is interested?
 

Dear Mods this thread is just to gauge interest it is not and will not be a for sale thread. I'm working on a swap for my personal car, but am offering to help the community if their is a demand. I'm not going to go into extreme detail, but each trans will come with brand new internals and a custom gearset "your choice of helical or straight cut", twin disc clutch w/ flywheel, aluminum driveshaft "your choice of oem rear or ford 8.8", trans mount, adapter plate and anything else required for operation. I have a few options for a trans case so I will update when I decide. My goal is to have a "plug and play" swap with every single part being brand spankin new in the 6k price range. Sounds expensive, but a v160 alone is near that and the exedy twin disc and par gearset will most likely cost more.

****I will be leaving the country on november 1st and I do not know when I will be returning. If anyone else is interested in this swap you can still post on this thread and I will update as soon as I return. This will be my main priority once I get back.

Way out of my league. :) I'm sure the Stage 2+ FI crowd will be interested.

Interested

Kudos to you for keeping it a 6 speed and not a dogbox or a TH400

The option of straight cut gears would make it a dog box... did you mean sequential?

$6k isn't that bad of a price for what you'd get but honestly, I don't forsee anyone with this chassis to need something to handle ~1300 hp.

woops, well i shouldve said, keeping it an option :slap:

Straight cut gears =/= dog box. Dog box refers to the engagement and can be had with helical cut gears as well.

And straight cut gears can be fitted with synchronizers.

Id be interested. Not saying i want one today, tomorow or even mext winter. But one day in the future i know ill need a trans and diff solution.

Interested

This is a little off topic, but why do companies always rate their drivetrain parts in HP and not torque? A torque rating would be a much better indication of the strength of the unit.

I agree with is statement. When tuning my old 300ZX Twin Turbo I did some modifications that made it push 550 rwhp and 602 rwtq and I ate several highly rated horsepower clutches prior to getting one that could hold that Torque. One of my clutches after a full break in procedure died on the first launch... Luckily the vendor I was working with upheld the warranties and kept sending me new clutches until we got it right. I think that I only paid the difference in prices between the clutches.

Dear NomoreNA,

Since when did transmissions get rated in horsepower?

Yours faithfully,

I've been inside this tranny, I hope you have a magic wand to wave to make it handle that hp level. Or are you blowing smoke and saying 1300hp......from a rotary with 200ft/lb and a 13,000rpm redline lol.
