Yes, Norris Motorsport swb evo.runs a very expensive sequential gearbox behind it!

i thought it woz rwd now

Evorich

just been on there website, pretty wild gearbox not for me though, for a road car something along the lines of skyline gts box. flywheel clutch bellhousing etc to beconsidered or a tremec.

stevieturbo

Arent there some Jap drift Evos with rwd and longitudinal setup ?

Evorich

just been on an american website and they make a bellhousing to fit the 4g63 evo engine on to a t56 which i believe is a 6speed out of a corvette and pretty similar to a t5 borg warner i know the input shaft is bigger and less splines.

Evorich

could you tell me what gearbox you use on your granada?

Shings

Norris Design.

Not Motorsport.

The 2 are different companies.

stevieturbo

T5 and T56 are nothing like each other. The only similarities are they both have "T5" in their name, and are rwd gearboxes lol

I use a T56.

ok thanks for the input, looking to put all this in to a sierra sapphire, what flywheel clutch etc do you use thanks rich

Depending on bellhousing you may have to massage the tunnel with a hammer but the T56 goes in the Sierra shell.



It is bloody heavy though...

stevieturbo

See, they are nothing alike.

The similarities are...

They both have T5 in the name
They both have 5 gears
They are both rwd
They are both made of metal
They both have a gearstick

Of course, the same can be said of any rwd stick in the box gearbox, so they are all similar.

But you'd need to pay close attention to the ratios available if fitting one to a 4cyl engine. The ratios are very tall, and far from ideal for a low powered/torque engine unless you run a very short diff.

v man

as said norris design's swb evo9 runs the engine in said guise but thats the easy bit

its the rest that costs the money

think he qouted 100+ grand to build that car

If you are building a rwd saph, surely you would just be better off picking a supra engine instead ?


Cant really see the logic in picking an evo motor with all the hassle involved that an evo one has, I bet the sump will hit he cross member for example.

Fuck the supra engine go for a V8 lol.

Chip

iTrader: (3)

I cant think of a readily available turbo v8 with a decent rwd box on it TBH

J1mbo

iTrader: (1)

sorry. I know the two, got them wrong way round!

gjh

I believe it was 100k initially then another 50k to create version 2

Link to V2 ? Never seen it myself

ND dry sump might clear that problem up but its not a cheap solution.

Turbosimpsons

A yb is alot stronger engine to start with. Seems daft to start with a inferior engine.

Chip

iTrader: (3)

Lol @ thinking its inferior, far more potential than the YB and cheaper to buy as well.

stevieturbo

Cant think of any. Ive a wild idea for a rwd sierra though. How about a Cossie engine and T5 ? Bound to be an easy fit ?

But other 4 cyl rwd turbo options.

Nissan 200 ?
Volvo 940 turbo etc

and for some reason, I cant think of many others lol

6cyl does open up more options

Nissan 300
Skyline
Supra

others ?

Jay,

If you use a evo 7 onwards flywheel you can use a evo cover cossie plate ans the splines are the same

unless you want to keep it under 400bhp then buy a a forged 4g63 as standard engine unless a 8mr or a 9 the rods will pop out to say hello above 400 bhp

edited so the ford boxes should fit with correct bell housing

ASHCOSSIE

sure some use bmw boxes

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

they are stronger but getting it to mate up is a issue so if your going to the trouble then a t56 will match what most can throw at it

When you consider the cossie internals will take over 500bhp standard. it wasn't that funny a comment .

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

[quote=a rs licker;5749988]swings and roundabouts as the evo head will flow that plus more and what will a yb head cost to have it properly sorted ? i think its what ever floats your boat tbh

v man

[QUOTE=Sanchez_;5750007]steve from steve hill motorsport told me that cosworth make the evo engine or designed it cant remember witch

we was chatting when i took my 6 for a service and geo set up

pee vee

Crazy!

Chip

iTrader: (3)

It was when you think that most of these engines are over 20 years old so if you want to actually run 500bhp on them the first thing you need to do really if you want it even vaguely reliable is to rebore it and buy new pistons for it anyway, at which point the difference in cost between rebuilding it and rebuilding an YB engine is only the price of a set of rods and the evo engine is dearer to begin with, and on the evo engine you dont need aftermarket cams or headwork to see 500bhp.

The only way a YB engine is really significantly better than an evo engine is if you want to stop a boat floating away with the tide.

stevieturbo

But obviously in a Cosworth environment, ie a Sierra etc....Making an Evo engine fit would cost a few quid.

I dont think the OP has actually stated if this will even be in a Ford ?

Chip

iTrader: (3)

He did mate.

stevieturbo

Might be easier keeping it transverse then and running 4wd lol

pee vee

PS: I think The Norris evo uses a skyline gearbox, like the Reyland Esc cos.

stevieturbo

Hollinger sequential

taycoss

Exactly what i was planning

RickyLee53

Stock Evo engines will do well over 500hp if tuned correctly. IMO.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

your about the only one that does Rick lol !! i have a 7 engine in mine doing 370bhp 360lb and all i keep being told is im guna break a rod ! its done 70k and when i got it maybe running 330 bhp i remapped it to 1.7 bar and kicked its teeth in ever since and it hasnt looked sideways in 12 months lol
