He recommended going to CRV gear. 5 hours ago, mjrstar said: Convert the k24 to run Volkswagen dsg, there are kits. So looking at the DSG conversion Pic The output does look pretty close to the Block not sure how much further the GT4 Transfer case sits out but your right it may not fit or may need to see if shaving the block is an option (not ideal tho) The CRV AWD box doesn't have a center diff like the GT4 Box and after reading up it sounds like the front transfer case does run full time and the load to the rear is controlled by a clutch pack to the rear diff (rear diff can't handle full time AWD) Considering I spent 2.5k on a front LSD for the GT4 box not including install and bearings etc, I am hesitant to change boxes (I could always swap back to a Bellhousing to suit the 3S again rather then the 4a) and try move it on still keen to see if I can make it work Seems to be a 80:20 split to the rear which isn't great on the CRV box, few options for Transfer case upgrades to hold big power but also with a big price tag. Trying to track down info on what a factory transfer case will handle :s Edit, Can't get confirmation on what power the 5/6speed will handle (talk of 400hp) waiting to find out what power the transfer case can hold, though Humble performance claim 600hp on a K series Box Might have to go grab a box/motor from a wrecker here will see what the weather is like this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Bmw B58 will be a goodie, it’s in pretty much every platform they make. Just wait for the rest of the car to depreciate around it. 10 years old in 2025. What’s peak depreciation? 15 years? Edit wow pretty light too - 139kg. The 8hp trans they are attached to looks like a really well supported thing too. https://youtu.be/n5hSrXZ18cA?si=sE7ImVMGbkfQbYox 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(2 things not easily changed on an engine) Snap! Have been dreaming of jamming one in the Fiat 1500.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muncie Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Apparently you can use LT parts on them like manifolds and lop 2 cylinders off. vvt sounds extra cool for a push rod donk. Saw a cranky one pop up on insty sounded fierce! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have a look at local wreckers here in Ozzie land New (ZB) fwd Commodores have the GM LTG 2.0. turbs. Makes 191kw, and I believe they have lots of room for improvement. I wanted to put one in my Gemini, but they are pretty tall so it wouldn't fit without a fully custom cross-member and relocating the steering rack. The same engine comes in the Equinox which is AWD. Usually a bunch of crashed cop cars on some of the wrecked car auctions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubastreet Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Kawasaki H2 engine would be good for a light car - 154kW, 58kg. Not sure what it would take to get it up to 240kW H2R spec? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race motor (cnc head, cams, pistons) on npd100 300hp odd (think that was at wheels too) designed for endurance racing, few $$$ involved but not crazy money.
