The thickness of the adapter plate was figured out first

@@timshop2700 Based on what though? An original engine/transmission mate doesn’t have that extra space, so what allows for an extra inch plus for an adapter, a thicker clutch? How did you calculate the thickness of the adapter?

@77magnuss I took a Subaru transmission and measured the point at which the input shaft rides in the pilot bearing. Then I measured where the flywheel sits on the block. After some messing around, adding, and subtracting, you come up with a necessary thickness for the adapter plate because of where the pilot bearing rides/input shaft location. Kind of a hard thing to explain

@@timshop2700 Ok. Yeah, probably easier to visual with parts in front of you. I’m considering a swap into a Porsche 944 and this is the step I’m not sure about, but obviously it can be done. Everyone who has done videos skips over the calculation of this. I’ve been trying to find something with the basic concept explained but so far I haven’t. Thanks

Sand rails are so fun. I have a 81 Celica 22r in my rail and it's a blast

😲

The reason is because it's thicker, meaning the coils pull more amperage. You can do that, but you have to use wires and a switch that can handle the higher amperage

You don't need o2 sensors to run an engine. It'll just run super rich

Come over

My reverse always worked! Never had any issues. On the other hand they say the first couple of gears on these transmissions break. 1-2

Yes

You could. But there's a high chance that you could damage an ignition coil by doing that.

@@timshop2700 well let me tell you i did it an hour ago and now my car makes gunshots😂 on a mitsubishi mirage 1.2L 3cyl

You don't think that cops abused them? Just long idle hours by themselves kill the car.

Dude this thing was in shit condition before he even started and plus these things are still EVERYWHERE. It also isn't your car.

Not really but they come out easy, so why not.

@@timshop2700 Yeah, thanks

Me too lol, except its a k5, I have an 85 K5 Silverado ( black) . Too bad we ain't neighbors, it would be a fun thing to work together on with someone who was doing the same thing. I just put my wife's 81 custom deluxe on the road. Gotta go through my brakes , carburetor and a tune up on my 85, it's been sitting about 2 years but I've been cranking it once a month. Good luck on your truck man.

Why would you need oil holes in the pinion? The fluid is splashed all over the place during use. This is just subarugear's regular kit.

@@timshop2700 the oil holes feed the awd version. Subarugears only had this version originally. Now they have their high horse power version that doesn’t have oil holes since we dont need them with the 2wd only. You didn’t show the pinion during your assembly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJOlko1-nNxnoas

I'm pretty sure that my pinion didn't have oil holes. You can see in the start of the video

I had an issue with the heavy duty version you can see in this video. Once I figured it out I fixed it by filing the thrust bearing surface that the pinion shaft meets. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn_dan2Ve7Smj7M
