The Money Pit!

Yea that's a tuff call, it would be very bad if you stuck out in Ohio. Launching is extremely hard on the drivetrain but Im sure you know this already. Ive never launched my car for this reason and probably never will since I don't do any drag racing.

Not getting stuck cuz I'm towing it there lol

Love the splitters B. Car wish I was closer I'd take the Evo and have you teach me how to drive lol!

I may see you in Ohio spdracr! I have a few testing days and import wars events out here this year. Going to most likely trailer Babyg there as well

I am so anxious to go. Definitely planning on going, I had already booked the hotel room back in February. I may keep my boost levels down for the sake of preserving the transmission while getting more seat time so I can make it to Ohio.

And the evo 5spd is at the shop being rebuilt as I type. The gearset is being cryo/ rem isf treated and installing a 4:08 final drive along with carbon syncros. If its last me two years I will be extremely happy if not then Im turning this motor to the side and installing a Tremec..... Jus kidding

Hoping to have it done and ready to test at the July event at a brand new track in Fredricksburg VA.

I'll leave this here!

So what exactly is needed to be done to run that Evo trans fwd?

Welded front diff. I believe that's it. That was what Brian told me when I discussed this with him.

The spider gears on the diff thats in the trans have to be welded. Its actually the center diff, the diff in the tcase is the front diff. The tcase is pretty easy, you remove the pinion and the tail housing that surrounds it and the you make a block off plate for the opening that is left behind and your done. So it actually makes it half the size an easier to install as opposed to the awd swap where you have huge issues with the steering rack, tunnel clearence, and subframe. Also the subframe and k frame requires some questionable knotching for clearance .

And noted and saved! Sir hope u available when i come around to this.
So is impossible to run without tcase? (Front part of it atleast)

I'll keep that in mind for sure. Thanks for the info B!

[xd_01]

No problem, yea tcase is a must but with out the tail housing and pinion.

are you going to have that acd tcase converted to a non acd? just a heads up it wont turn all 4 in its current state unless you are installing the acd pump and everything that goes with it. learned that the hard way lol

[xd_01]

Yea ide hate to have to find out the hardway lol, thanks. But im not going the acd route. Funny thing is i bought a non acd from a jdm type junkyard on ebay and they sent me a acd case. So i had to send it back for a replacement, what a pain in the ass when you have return something so big and heavy.

[underated]

yah shipping mine to shep would have been a nightmare if they didnt send that fitted box lol

[xd_01]

That box is so worth it for $40 bucks. They were nice enough to sell me a box so i can use it ship the used tranny i bought on evom. Fedex guy wasnt to happy though.
