Going rwd with it. the rear end will come out of a Gen1 Quattro, with vac locking dif.

the plan for the motor is to spin it 90deg and mount it with a 1/4" thick aluminum front plate and mid plate to some L brackets welded to the frame rails.

Want to put a T5 behind the motor and get s custom drive shaft done to mount to the Audi flange on the read diff.

Quicktime performance is working on a 1.8T to t5 bellhousing, release date is TBD.

My idea was to machine a plate that would mount to the motor, a plate that mounts to the t5 and use 1/4" steel plate to fill in the middle. Which would also qualify as a scatter shield I believe.

Mount the 1.8T 228MM dia flywheel to the crank, find a 228mm or so clutch disk with the t5 input shaft splines, put that between the 1.8T pressure plate, and run a hydro throughout bearing unit inside the housing. Get all the components sandwiched in place in there then jig the block and transmission in place and complete the bell housing.

what do you think?

i think i have no idea what that means except the first line and that u’ll need to explain that mess to me :lol:lol

Sounds like a perfect win/win situation.

A t56 is a good bit heavier then a T5. You can find the weight difference on camaro forums very easy, but I would say it’s about 60-70 pounds. For the money you would spend to build a reliable T5 for your power levels you could get a T56 cheaper and they have a wider selection of parts available and gear ratios depending on which manufacturer trans you pick up used. I would strongly suggest a T56 with upgraded forks, syncros, billet keys… basic upgrades. Buy and build it once and you will be set for all future goals with the project. If you buy a T5 it really won’t last long, you will probably take out 3rd gear in your first season.

I know a few people going thru very well built transmissions every season.

Hi there.

Nick how long have you had the S4 for?

BURNALL4 · February 13, 2011, 5:21pm

you really want to get into this???

Ya you did AFTER you took away the ONLY advantage I had. Your car was lighter, had a bid turbo, and made more power. If you remember this was only after I beat you from a 40 roll, and i had to hear the typical, “I couldnt hook up.” My Evo SUCKS on high speed rolls. 40 should have given you plenty of time to catch me but that 30r couldn’t get the job done.

big_red · February 13, 2011, 5:22pm

06 or 07 iirc?

Mk4_30R_Ban · February 13, 2011, 5:23pm

just making sure you remember because obviously no 1,8ts are fast… but oh yeah evos suck from 60, so lets race a 400whp FWD car from 40… brilliant idea.

SSmokinn_SS · February 13, 2011, 6:25pm

I wantz a 40 roll with evo…

jdaniels · February 13, 2011, 6:27pm

I wantz a spring roll with orange chicken…

BURNALL4 · February 13, 2011, 7:39pm

nope, dig me. you got plenty of power to catch me…now do it.

ReDevil · February 13, 2011, 7:40pm

I want chinese, general tso nomnomnomnomnomnomnom

Yetti_VR · February 13, 2011, 8:10pm

Yay another thread getting destroyed by nonsense …

Welcome to shift… go fuck yourself

Mk4_30R_Ban · February 13, 2011, 8:16pm

nice edit putz. my car was over 3200lb. not light. advantage from 40? 400whp on a 225-45-17 not so much. you cant accept that a 1.8t with a smaller engine, and a slightly larger turbo beat you. sorry it wasnt a dig machine
