    holy crap!!!

    i hav thought about this for a long time! i'd love to do this to my vr4 one day!


    i know this is kinda a low budget conversion, but you could move the engine/gearbox back a fair bit with the right budget/tools/time

    Will the rear end take all the power it will see?

    I know for the 90-99 AWD Eclipse etc. sold in the US the rear end can't handle a lot of power on its own. I don't recall any numbers though just that they break. How will yours hold up?

    Dope man. Stick with it and keep updating us. I would imagine your gonna wanna get some type of Ford IRS 8.8 rear or something close to that in terms of power handling. There is no way a stock diff, even a built up EVO diff isnt gonna take that abuse.

    Thanks for your encouragement guys. I know that the rear diff will break but I am more concerned about getting the car running for the time being. when the diff breaks I may install supra's rear diff or supra's whole rear setup.

    The 9 would work but the 8.8s are less expensive, very durable and easier to retrofit into a vehicle with IRS. You could be adapters to fit a 9" into an IRS but it can get a little pricey.

    Because if your custom designing a rear subframe or custom adapting a rear subframe, you should adapt it to part that is superior in quality and durability. Supra guys retrofit their cars with ford rear ends, the idea is, if your going to spend the time and money to re-engineer something, during the process you should weed out any weak points.

    True, but if Supra guys are doing Ford 9 inch swaps, I'd say it's worth the extra time and money to have a good bulletproof rear for such a capable motor.

    I'm glad to see this being built but it will be some time be for this thing is functional... All that speed means you're gonna need a lot of brake power.... This will def be a force and please take all precautions cause this is one of those ideas where I'll say... "With great power, comes great responsibility" You need to be on your P's And Q's with this one...

    Thats a nice build, but that rear sway bar isnt installed correctly. Its worsening the handling in turns when its installed like this. The end links and sway bar need to go above the lower control arms like this

    God created turbo lag to give the v8's a brief moment of hope.
