DrRocks0 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Anyone stuffed a z32 trans in a 510 with an sr swap? Found a killer price for one and since the 5 speed sr trans are glass I was thinking of getting it. Big question is: does it fit in the car lol. Quote Link to comment
DrRocks0 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Well looks like it sold already, but the info will still be good in case I run across another deal like that again. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 There is a company in Beaverton, OR that makes bell housings and linkage/shifter swap components.I'll look up the company when I get home.Their name escapes me currently.Xcessive Engineering?

DrRocks0 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yeah I know companies that make adapters, I was curious if the trans even fits in the 510 body. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 BFH. Any thing will fit. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yeah I know companies that make adapters, I was curious if the trans even fits in the 510 body. Extremely doubtful. The body could be made to fit it. Quote Link to comment
DrRocks0 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Extremely doubtful. The body could be made to fit it. That's what I was afraid of. The bell housing shape looks like it might interfere at the top of the trans tunnel/fire wall area. Quote Link to comment
Burabuda Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 btw if you're busting s13 5spds in a 510 you're abusing it 1 Quote Link to comment
DrRocks0 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 It's not hard to pop the s13 5 speed. With the Hp, LSD and traction goals I want it will be even easier. I like to over build my cars so I can drive them hard and not worry about breaking stuff. From my previous builds I know I am hard on transmissions. I had a 73 hilux with a build 22R and a w58 with a supra LSD in the diff. Truck was fun as hell to drive, the original 5 speed from the 22R didn't last me too long. Quote Link to comment
510T Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 First to go bang was the open R160. Upgraded to STi CLSD R180. Then some U joints went. After I replaced those, the halfshaft itself went pop. Wheelhop is a bitch. If I ever manage to upgrade to CV's I expect the next fuse will be the outer stubs. Only about 240tq...

DrRocks0 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yeah, I'm working on getting my hands on an STI diff, 930 CV's, the conversion stubs for the STI diff and adapters for outter stubs. Is there 930 outter stubs that work in the rear? I'm running 11psi on the stock t25 and am already getting scary noises from a u-joint somewhere... high pitched clink when coasting then lightly applying the gass. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 If you have wheel hop the suspension is not sorted out yet. The 71C should handle an SR no problem. They are not made of glass just because you break them. Quote Link to comment
510T Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 My wheel hop issue is caused by the suspension geometry of the lowered car and resultant negative anti-squat. There is no fix other than to raise the ride height or channel the body. I have simply sworn off drag racing ;) I agree the 71C's are tough as. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Have you slotted the rear cross member? Quote Link to comment
DrRocks0 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 I have coil overs and slotted rear crossmember. When the tires break loose its nice and smooth. Even with an open diff they both break loose at times and the rear gets squirrelly. I don't want to have to swap the trans, I was hoping the car was light enough with less traction then the s13/s14 that it shouldn't be a problem. Is the 71C the trans that comes in the s13? I have the trans that is normally in the s13/sr20. edit: google machine taught me something! http://www.az-zbum.com/information.transmission.shtml Quote Link to comment
510T Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 My 510 has a polyurethane mounted Penultimate crossmember with raised and adjustable control arm mounts. This does help but cannot eliminate or reverse the negative anti squat condition. If you draw an imaginary line from the hub to the trailing arm pivot it goes downward. That downward angle is going to cause wheel hop when you try to put power down through sticky tires. I should have slipped the clutch a bit more... :rofl: Quote Link to comment
DrRocks0 Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 :bye: bye bye axle Well I haven't had any problem **yet** I have poly diff bushings, slotted crossmember, coilovers and shit compound 195's lol. What are your wheel specs? I have a 4dr and it looks like a bitch to get wide tires in the rear. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 weird i dont have wheel hop issues . how stiff are your rear springs 510t? and how sticky are your tires? Quote Link to comment
510T Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 900ish+ lb springs in the stock location. 225 wide 200 tread wear BFG Rival. Grip was significantly increased by launching on a NHRA prepped drag strip. I remember my shoes sticking to the ground. Breaking parts on the street should be a lot tougher ;) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Well there's the problem. If anything is harder than drag racing it's drag racing with an IRS. If primarily drag racing, a silid axle is better. If handling for track, then IRS although by the time you get the springs and shocks and a sway bar stiff enough you might as well have a solid axle. 1 Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 900 seems a little soft Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 That translates to 236lb/in. Track cars can run 1200 (just over 300lb/in) but can't see that on the street. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I run to 275 on the street and don't have wheel hop Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Many variables involved here. Tire grip would be another, shocks, gears..... Quote Link to comment
