Will a sr20det tranny off a bluebird ( FWD) fit a rb25det motor? basically saying, has anyone ever made one front wheel drive before? just a question!

If someone can make a 400 turbo trans to a 4g63t I think some one can make it work.

 

no. worst idea ever. sr fwd trannies are brittle.

 

You are better off getting the tranny off the Bluebird

 

uhhh... did you read the thread?

 

Finding a manual FWD Bluebird tranny is kind of rare, but their strength is just like the US FWD Se-rs they are weak when putting down lots of power (what Greaser said). Most Sr20de-Ts (that can be used in a FWD configuration) overseas are either automatics or AWD.
With a FWD sr20- you have 2 options for your tranny.
1. Cryo-treat your gear stacks (if putting down alot of power, your gears will still eventually break- mostly due to the design of the tranny)
2. Replace the internals with a PAR gear set. This is a drop in fit with a streetable (syncros, etc..) or full race (dog-cut) set up.

 

thanx guys, I appreciate the input. I was just trying to get some ideas. can anyone think of any fwd v8's?

Isn't the RB25det an inline 6 without a tilt? Are you thinking of mounting one transversely?

 

Oldsmobile Toronado... FWD 455cu in (GT's were "rated" at 400hp/500ft/lbs)

 

just a thought
