Yes, I read the clutch is rated plenty high but I have a nasty habit of installing clutches that are stronger than the assembly and snapping bell housing bolts and/or cv shaft bolts. (Just had to replace stock bolts on a4 fwd 1.8t 5sp running 25psi). From what I've read, the general consensus is that the 01e can take a 1000+hp beating and just as much torque. I was curious about the adapter itself...presumably it would have to be pretty thick to handle that much power and that assumes the load of a small car. My application is a heavy full size pickup. Many CNC/engineering companies here stateside shy away from this type of custom work citing "liability concerns". Do you have a build thread started for this? I'd love to see it as it progresses. |

I have threads on www.gt40s.com under Wings, wheels and keels if I remeber correctly. Search for "Vigilante" I also have a thread on www.supraforums.com under builds and projects. The adaptor plate is 25mm thick if I remember correctly. New Engineering does various engine and gearbox combinations. The owner drives a 1jz landrover and he is busy with another for his wife with a 2jz. So he knows his story. He is alo going to make my side shafts which he gives a life time guarrantee on. If I break one he replaces it. ![]() BTW, he does all the side shafts for the racing guys at Killarney race track in Cape Town. He hinself races there too.

I found your GT40 build thread. VERY nice. Kudos to you, my friend. I enjoyed seeing the changes in direction as the build progressed. BTW the MB 6.0 V12 would have been awesome, but I reckon your 2jz choice is the best. I had a similar idea, then opted for the simplicity of japanese design over the complexity of German engineering.
