      not yet because i don't have the adapter plate yet. it all is going to depend on how everything exactly lines up...

        Yeah the G series hydrolic transmission is shoe horned in my car, so the 153 if it is any bigger, especially LONGER will NOT fit in my car, and I have the frame rail notched already.

        Still going to be a good read, especially if we ever want to put the engine in the back of my car ;-P

          the custom clutch setup arrived in the mail today. everything seems to fit together perfectly, but unfortunately one of the clutch pucks was cracked in shipping. shouldn't take long to have another made up.

          pics:


          pretty straightforward concept here... 1800 pound high-clamp pressure plate to fit the stock BP flywheel, 225x150mm disc with a toyota splined center hub. the pressure plate isn't "special", i could use any BP pressure plate... the disc is the custom piece.

              i might be selling kits eventually but they would be for FWD. the clutch, adapter plate, upper mount, and some other parts would work for AWD though

                      more delays...

                      Apparently the drawing that TurboTim on miataturbo made with his faro arm a few months ago is too far off to use. The machinist making the adapter plate cut a test piece on his CNC based on that pattern, and the crank centerline was off by 0.073". The bolt pattern on the oil pan section of the bellhousing is also slightly different between FWD/AWD and RWD, which i didnt realize.

                      Anyway, he had his BP pattern scanned on a CMM table locally, and using that new pattern made up a sample adapter... close but no cigar, the crank centerline was still off by 0.010". He is making some final adjustments and should be finished soon. :D
