E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted December 17, 2011 Yes Toyota box. 3sge flywheel fits to bmw crank with very little mod. Nice!! The wife has one in the RS200. What are you plans for attaching to the BMW motor? Cut'n'Shut the mounting flange or a plate adaptor? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddie 66 Report post Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) At this point it looks like I will make an adapter plate and use the toyota starter motor. I have started to make up some templates of both bell housings. Failing that I will get a BMW flywheel and then cut both bell housing and welded the bmw to the toyota. These are cheap gearboxes. Its a mates deal but he said that he sold the last two- flywheel to drive shaft for $600 This box is off a 1g which puts the starter on the same side as the bmw Edited December 18, 2011 by rot62 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie 66 Report post Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) They always have been ..not many in this country as quick as mine This one will be quicker The cost for this gearbox with 6 cylinder fly wheel, starter motor, 6 speed toyota gearbox, bmw bell housing, welding supplies, support bearing, toyota clutch plate, manual pedal box. ( not including time and drive shaft still to be made) $780.00 Edit- I would have sent close to 10hrs making this work Edited December 24, 2011 by rot62 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie 66 Report post Posted February 2, 2012 Tonight I started playing around with the old Willwood 6pot calipers I took off my race car and found that if I use a rotor around the 295mm mark I might be able get them to fit inside a 15" wheel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie 66 Report post Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) In prep for some up and coming NA battles I ran the car up on the Dyno 80hp at the rears @5000 The car just lost power after that last night I removed the auto box. This morning I machined the flywheel to take the thinner Toyota clutch plate. Edited March 20, 2012 by rot62 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now the car makes just on 100hp @5800 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
