Hey all,
I know this topic has been covered many times before, but it seems like everybody has got thier hands on high performance stuff and all sorts of machine shop services unavailable over here. The stuff done and mentioned, i feel is quite expensive and complex, however could this cheaper alternative be used??
Assuming the W55 bellhousing will bolt straight on the 3SGTE (hmmm does it?) engine. Im gonna use a W55 out of a 3TGTE together with its flywheel, clutch, clutch cover, middle bearing, starter and the thin metal plate. Since the flywheel will not bolt up to the engine, could I cover all the bolt holes on 3TGTE flywheel with welding rod till they are full, then machine a nice smooth flat surface on the flywheel. After the holes are covered, the flywheel should look like it never had holes. Then the hole pattern on the 3SGTE is taken, centered and redrilled on the flywheel. If this flywheel bolts strainght on to the engine shouldnt this solve the problem with the starter and the distance of the gearbox shaft to the centre bearing?.... Maybe the clutch would slip?, maybe the gearbox would break?, maybe the flywheel would break?,
At the moment Im not concerned cause i think this set up could handle up to 220HP, I just need to know whether this method would work?.. anybody thought of this?, could it be this simple?, to all 3sgte rwd conversion pro's please advice. Im planning for a 3S-GTe conversion for a TA27. Got a hot deal, 2 ST185 half cuts for 3500.. planning to get them this week...
