Re: Local Rear Wheel Drive DSM...What?

This is Kyle we're talking about... He himself rivals HORT when it comes to ghetto mechanics.

Re: Local Rear Wheel Drive DSM...What?
he probably broke the trany and it works only in RWD so he is just driving it around that way until it completely breaks.. i'm sure thats whats up..
OR,
he removed front axles. sealed the holes so it doesn't leak oil out, and has the welded VC in .. ;p

You just run a welded VC or center diff and run only parts of the front axles, so they don't actually do anything but act as place holders.
Isn't most of that video from a year ago? |

Re: Local Rear Wheel Drive DSM...What?
The video is from about a week ago, and yes he is running a spool from TRE and only parts of the front axles... We definately expected something to break, but the four bolt and the axles held up nicely. The insane part is that a ~ 300 whp rear wheel drive DSM gets squirrly in third without even dumping the clutch

Re: Local Rear Wheel Drive DSM...What?
yes, but the burnout was way more dramatic, and it was a real RWD conversion, I believe (i.e. chevy tranny, rotated motor, etc.) I thought the same thing, some narrow, random, paved road in the middle of a field w/ a rwd dsm doing burnouts. Then again, if I was going to do long, dramatic burnouts, that might be the place to try it out!
In the older video, the guy initially spins out off the road, just a bit.

Re: Local Rear Wheel Drive DSM...What?
So who makes adapters and shit for the RWD swap that turns the engine and matches it with a diff tranny? I am sure Buschur does, but does anyone else? Or do most just get the mesurments and have something made up...?

Buschur Does, don't know who else. I think I'd miss AWD too much...

Re: Local Rear Wheel Drive DSM...What?
If I cant find a bell housing in the next week I think I'm going to try it. Probably a little harder than an AWD swap just because of turning the motor sideways. Should be interesting to see how it works. Talk about a lot of fabrication!

Re: Local Rear Wheel Drive DSM...What?

Try an adapter plate is needed unless you do enough research to find out which mitsubishi transmissions accept the narrow block pattern (most 4g63 and 4g64's are 'narrow block') Plus the entire rear end suspension would have to be done to do it right. Plus not to mention the tunneling that might be required, the engine bay work, the firewall modifications...etc.
I knew kyle was working on this a few months back, nice to see it up and running, I wish him the best of luck with it holding for him.
A guy on 3si.org did something very similar to his 3kgt with pretty positive results. He did it for some R&D on our 'weak' transfercases.
