Ill be following your install. If I can do the install without having to pull the motor then I could see doing this sooner than later.

Any reason why you went with the CD009 and didn’t wait for Kpower’s transmission kit, which I’m assuming would be a BMW unit? I don’t have personal experience with any of these transmissions, but the CD009 is stout, similar gearing, well supported, still in production at $2k new, cheap enough used, etc. Was it a timeline thing or CD009 preference?

I am considering a swap and the CD009 interests me. I'm looking forward to seeing more people use it. Maybe the lack of a plug-and-play kit for it is what's made it not gain much popularity so far on this swap? Or no need to go with a heavier CD009 unless big power goals? The BMW transmission is a fine unit, but I think the only benefit is that they're cheaper? They seem to be starting to get to be hard to find.

The other issue is the unknown. The Mazworx kit fits the FA20 well without clearance issues, but the CD009 is tight on K24/2JZ swaps because of moving the engine back. Obviously, there is also the downtime with the need to fabricate and then send out for a custom driveshaft. With talks of Jackson Racing making a supercharger kit and Kpower coming out with a turbo kit and having BMW upgrades for the Miata, I wouldn't be surprised if a transmission option will eventually make it to market. In the meantime, there are options from Collins and TF-Works.

The Quicktime bell housing is nice, and I would be a fan of a bell housing for the CD009 like the Mazworks kit, yet it is expensive and probably unnecessary, and I believe that Quicktime unit only works with the Tremec T-56 and T56 Magnum, as this says. I don't know if the bolt pattern between the TKX and T56 is the same for that bell housing. The website says the Tremec unit is 8k max rpms with shifting at 7,500, so I don't know if that is just a recommended ceiling or a hard ceiling. The fact that these units aren't in production cars, as far as I can tell, means that they probably would need to be sourced new. That would make the CD009 a little more appealing, as a swap option. They are compact though and come in a variety of configurations, so I can see the appeal. https://rpm-mag.com/2021/07/quick-ti...-applications/

I fat fingered and deleted my post instead of editing it, so whatever.
That YouTube dude Taylor Ray is running the TKX behind his turbo K24 in a Cefero with the Quicktime. edit: as far as new thread stuff too, my shortened valve cover with baffling for the AN breathers showed up. I'll test it in a couple of weeks, assuming the car passes the 96dB track limit. I'm putting in a K24Z top cam chain guide at the same time for a little bit of extra security.

And if you are referring to this then he is using a T-56 Magnum, which is not the 5-speed TKX that you mentioned. The bolt pattern looks different between the two transmissions, where there is a six bolt on the magnum versus a four bolt seen on the TKX. He also needed to get a custom pilot bearing made, so there is that too:

honestly if money wasn't an issue I'd just take it to a shop and say "sequential please! see you in 3 months kthxbai" but here we are. The S1 sequential shifters for the CD are intriguing to me as well but they are 2k! One of the other downsides to the CD is that is pretty heavy vs the 86 trans.

Is anyone running a 3” exhaust option that actually sounds good without terrible drone?
My buddy’s kpower conversion with the Perrin 3” sounds good at high RPMs on track. It is HORRIBLE driving to and from the track. I absolutely needed hearing protection or noise canceling ear buds for the 135 mile trip. He’s a decade older with much worse heating than mine; so fine for him. Absolute no go for me. |

That's the upside to the BMW Zf 5spd is the compactness, light weight and relative strength. However, as you said they are getting harder to find and prices are going up. The newest ones are still pretty dang old.
I've also been told the gearing isn't great, maybe it works well for FI, but wasn't optimal for a low torque n/a setup.
