Front PTO hub

[Maingear]

Has anyone seen an adapter that will allow 250HP to be tapped to the front of the 1UZ? I would like to mount a hub with a stub shaft, then place a u-joint yoke directly to the front of the engine. I need power from both sides.

(It's for a CVT transmission - in the front and rear of the car while keeping the engine centered)

I would think that you would have to get a spline cut on the front of the crank. The key way would not be strong enough.

It does sound an interesting concept though.

Assumuing I could get an extended crank and have splines pulled in the fwd end, I would still need some sort of harmonic balancer to keep the crank from breaking, right?

Is it possible to deliever that much torque/hp to the front of a 2000Lbs car and keep the tires from spinning? Tires are 205/50 r16 (weight transfer and CG will be further rearward even yet)

The fwd car has a factory: 1.8L

(Like taking a leaf blower to blow out a match)

The rears would have to be spinning as well?
Don't worry about it being an over kill no one else will.

So a mid engine car with a cvt in the front and a cvt in the rear? In essence, front and rear wheel drive?

You'll probably be better off using a transfer case

Talk to some boat shops and find out what they do for Dog Clutch Setups. These are where the front of the crank is used to connect to the prop shaft and the engine is put in backward. Usually use a schrink on coupling
