Re: 1UZFE for Superlite Coupe - Ideas?

Eric,

the CL versus a Porsche box is very similar so no issues at all in any of the driveshaft angularity .
The bell housing to output CL is only 25mm different from the Porsche also...and as there are many different length Porsche bellhousings as standard ..again another non issue.

Another point of note is that all of the guys using the GT trans so far are also using a dry sumped engine that will, in fact lower the CG and will negate most all of the proposed issues raised by being a larger trans.

Now , taking into account that the SL chassis was always designed around fitting this box ,I dont have any of the space/alignment issues that a pre-existing chassis will have...using this unit in a chassis without prior design influence will creat issues ..as its physical size is a major hurdle..
