Nice to see you're still plodding on! Rediscovered this build looking for 1UZ to 01E adapters, having one made now to test fit my 3UZ into my mid engine self build. It's always motivating to read threads like this, keep it up!

Hi all, I've come across a G96/50 for sale, and may be able to stretch budget to it being pretty much the top of the range without being exotic. What is required to convert these to 2wd? Just cutting the end off the output shaft and blanking the hole? Or do I keep it incase I ever need a...

Hm, yeah I expected it was weaker, and that doesn't sound very good already, if its relatively weak behind the stock motor! As for the current gearbox, I've done nothing with it really. A shift mech was roughly designed but thats it. Geometry of the Audi box is a compromise that I'm not OK...

Hi all, First of all apologies for not being a GT40 project at all, but you guys know the most about transaxles from what I've found! I am trying to find solid information about whether a G96.01 would be suitable for use. Engine is a 2.7 biturbo V6 (audi), target ~400whp However the...

interesting, are you thinking of essentially remaking the housing to run the output shafts above the input? Would this have the same bellhousing? While this is almost certainly going to be out of my budget for now, it would be great for me to have the option of an improvement in the future am...

Hi guys, now this sounds stupid to ask, seeing as one of the reasons i chose my engine and gearbox combo was that they bolt straight together, but: Is there any reason why I couldn't get a thick aluminium spacer made to go between the gearbox and engine? I'm thinking ~2" perhaps? got the...

checked the 'box, and actually found the invoice (then promptly put it through the washing machine by accident!) but yes it's a DQS that I have. So it is a 6 speed :) Thanks David

First, sorry if this isn't in the right section for being not-necessarily-GT40-tech. I'm scratch designing and building a mid engine 'pickup', and have always loved the rear end chassis and suspension setups on the GT's. My original plan was double wishbone front and rear, but putting the...

code is 01E 301 103 K-L not 100% on the 3 letter code, but DQS rings a bell. I'll try and find it on the box. Fingers crossed, as that seems to be one of the better ones i believe. Have to say there is so much useful info on these gearboxes on this forum! yeah i read about what the nuts are for...

Hi all, had a bit of a poke on the gearbox ready to have it media blasted (assume this is fine to do?) Will be measuring up the mount locations in work if they'd be of any use to anyone. Gearbox seems to have an extra little mount bolted on underneath, bit like a torque limiting mount like...

Thanks, that sounds like the 034 motorsport golf, don't think i've ever seen it used in anger though; it's just for showing off. I remember reading through your tread already, could've sworn i posted on it. Finding it really hard to find other people using any of these engines in other cars...

thanks guys. Could either of you move my thread from the GT40s Builds subforum, or can I delete and make a new one? I wasn't aware there was a section for other stuff like this. Hilly bit with sheep on the side of England ;) Live in the Newtown, Powys area, pretty much right in the middle!

Hi (again) Hope this is okay, but my build is more akin to your GT40 builds than most other forums, so hopefully I can learn more here, and maybe it'll be of interest to others too! It's a Group-B Quattro inspired VW Caddy pickup. The shall has been completely stripped and gutted, the only...

Hi fellas, I'm Henk from Mid Wales. Don't actually have a GT40 but this site has already been helpful to me. See i'm building a mid engine tube chassis car, but it's a Group-B inspired VW Caddy pickup. I'll make a build thread on here, hopefully more interesting to, and more useful...

audi V engines sure are huge! Have the v6 turbo myself, also mid engine to be. what is the engine management you'll be using? Look forward to seeing more on this!
