Digging up a dinosaur I know, but just wondering, anyone done any work on this idea? Would be sweet to see a uz with a transaxle. Cheers.

Thanks Anaema. Lewis

Hey guys, Got a question for anyone with any knowledge pertaining to this subject, or even anyone who doesn't. What are the dimensional differences between the Nissan VG30 3.0L V6 engine and the 1UZ? I heard someone say that the VG30 was bigger than a SB Chevy, although I can't see how that is...

Haha, Jibby :smileeek: Cheers, Lewis

I wouldn't me happier :D

You wouldn't want to get that out of these engines though, would you? That's the beauty of it, a small little V8 engine, capable of great things, if anything I'd even make it smaller, reduce stroke to get a more rev happy engine. Look at exotic super car V8's, namly Ferrari, so far the 4.3L in...

Anyone have any info on the 928 box? Limits etc...? Cheers, Lewis

Nope it was a torque tube to transaxle. Checked just incase :) Lewis

No, Toysrme, I wasn't suggesting for a fwd application. Was thinking rear transaxle for front-engined vehicule like the sc400/soarer, ls400 etc...etc... Speaking about Porsche transmissions what about a 928 5 speed? Wouldn't it be even more suitable since it was made to handle the Porsche V8...

Thanks for the info guys, will definitely look into it more closely, even if nothing comes of it, I'm sure the extra knowledge will be used at some point....or maybe not haha. Cheers, Lewis

What about a Porsche 968 box? Would it be able to handle high numbers similar to the supra 6spd (forgot the technical name)? Would you guys see it as being feasible in a soarer/sc400, or not worth the effort? Just thinking out load :) Lewis

Hey, anyone ever thought of trying to engineer some sort of system to be able to put a manual transaxle on a 1UZFE equiped car (or anything else for that matter), would be an excellent way to get better weight distribution. Any ideas? Cheers, Lewis

Turbosix, I'm just refering to Car And Driver, since it was mentioned.

Don't believe everything you read in those magazine :) Lewis
