Aftermarket trans options for rb26

[cschepp]

Time attack

[FOOT]

how much are you planning on making to the wheel?

[hozer]

PPG, clutchless, dogbox etc will all render your car unstreetable and uninsurable

and in my opinion, the power numbers you've been stating are not 'time attack' car numbers, they are drag numbers. 750 or 1000 hp wont be any good for time attack and I can give you the hozer guarantee you'd have more fun lapping with 5-600whp.
If you want an optimal car to lap you need to think about dropping hp. If you just want a fun car to drive max that B out!

[cschepp]

1000. I will be spending quite a bit of money

R34 transmissions break too. And they are useless without R34 diffs unless you like maxing out 1st gear at 30kph and 2nd at 80. Which is fun in a 200hp car but less fun in a 500+ hp car.

the T56 based option I spoke of above is a good one, but unproven so far.

link for t56? what others do you suggest terrh? any 'treatments' a guy can do to stock gears? what if a guys ditches 4wd? what options does that open up?

[hozer]

I really do wanna avoid sounding like a jerk and overall negative guy but...

If you wanna ditch awd and want that kind of power buy a supra or 5L mustang. You'll save money and have a car that does the same thing.

[Black BNR32]

naw man, turbo e36 m3

[cschepp]

I have no desire for American made cars, nor European cars. I have my mind set on what I want and I'm going it. You'll see what happens. It will be crazy when finished

[newalliance123]

Auto if you ditch AWD. Probably cost about 2500 for GM powerglide and Adaptor plate

[collector240sx]

Im surprised adapting other trannys isn't more popular, but Im no expert. A ZF box from the inline 6 bmws or even a corvette tremec t56 would be cool.

I had already looked into it, and it can be made to work. But don't expect it to hold anything close to what it does on rwd cars.

I had price parts for about 6k, and was planning to do all the fitting ,the adapter welding myself, but changed plan.

Edit: Start with a viper trans, already has the bigger shaft

That is one hell of a pile of crap you got going on there. The un-insurable thing is freaking hilarious and I have lost count how many R32-34 cars there out there in Japan that are running 800 to 1000hp with either my turbo or something only slightly smaller. The whole "twins are better for a road-course car" theory is completely ignored in J-land. They like to go for the big guns and drive them like they stole them (the way it should be). I will admit though that huge power on a small track would suck (like running the cones in a parking lot) and I wouldn't do it in my car, BUT, you can turn the wick down and reduce power to suit a tiny-ass track. You sure can't pull 300hp out of your ass to run with the big dogs if you are only packing 500hp.

If you don't think a dog-box is streetable, maybe you should drive a Prius or something. If I spend a dime on anything it will be a dog-box, they will last a very long time and you will have shifting so fast, people with think you have an automatic, or you can drive it like you are driving Miss Daisy (and yes, you can drive them like that, all day long).

Never said twins are better, I have personally a huge single. Big power on a road course wouldn't be fun was my only point (which you even agreed with)

If you think a dog box is streetable, you are mistaken, given what I and probably some others, take streetable to mean. When I say streetable, I mean a car that can be driven in the city in traffic with ease and comfort and convenience... Essentially practicality to be driven on a regular basis. If you enjoy dropping a tranny every couple hundred km to inspect it, then a Dog is for you!

It can be street driven but no one on earth would recommend it for a street car.... So the prius comment, not required. But for the record, I'd actually rather drive a prius than a car with a dog box on my commute. As I'm sure many others would too

As for the insurance, it will just like any other performance upgrade you add on your car, will have your insurance denying coverage should you have to get it re-inspected. This is a by-the-book thing as opposed to a "don't do it, you won't get insurance thing". My bad for having it taken incorrectly

Keep it civil, I'm not here to spread lies.

Still look for something that can hold 1000 and still be able to bang gears all day

Quaife and ppg would be your cheap options. 1000whp cars don't have cheap near them so if that's what you're building, it shouldn't be an issue. Hollinger is the real choice if you have some cash left.

some of These boxes are as streetable as a 1000hp car. Drag For sure not a time attack car, most of the fastest are near 600.

Someone who commutes a 1000hp car is retarded or has his piorities messed up.

Ask mcfly about building 1000hp cars.

That's what I said, then $65k later I decided I could make a faster/better car with something else

[cschepp]

Slowly realizing that. Building. 1500hp chevelle as would cost half as much and that would would be with a brand new 572, dual carb, glide trans and blower
