Parts used for 2g turbo tranny in a 6 bolt 1g fwd n/t

[Dsm810z]

I blew my stock tansmission in my 1992 n/t fwd 6 bolt Talon, and didn't want to go back to a factory 1g transmission due to the fact that the two 1g transmissions that had already been installed previously both shifted like crap. I didn't have the cash for a performance transmission build and still be able to get a new flywheel and clutch so this is the setup I went with, and it worked beautifully.

I highly recommend doing this if you're sick of your stock 1g transmission shifting like complete garbage.

Parts used: *Remember this is for a fwd 6 bolt application only, this has been done in awd applications, but this will only cover the fwd transmission swap*

1) FWD transmission from a 2g turbo DSM

2) 6 bolt aluminum Fidanza 8 lb. flywheel

3) I used a stage 2 turbo clutch (use a turbo clutch to match up with the turbo transmission all the turbo clutches through all years are the same)

4) front cv axles from a 1994 fwd turbo DSM

5) I used stock shift cables and brackets with the 2g turbo transmission and had no shifting or clearance issues WITHOUT modification to the shifter arms.

6) The transmission mount from the 1g DSM will just BARELY work if you remove the studs that are screwed into the top of the 2g turbo transmission, but I would suggest having a new bracket fabricated for better support.

7) I used a urethane mount for a 1g DSM and it worked fine. No problems there.

8) For the slave cylinder bolts, use 2.5" bolts of the same pitch and thread diameter to mount the slave cylinder correctly to the transmission.

9) The following is a link posted by treebonker (http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/art...ngth-pitch-location-part-number-pictures.html). This information applies to putting the 2g transmission in a 6 bolt 1g DSM. If the link does not work, here is the exact information as follows:

This applies to both AWD & FWD, M/T & A/T (97+ A/T uses MF140271 for the "U" bolt). Thread pitch are all 1.25mm.

* V (MF140471) : M10 x 65mm
* U (MF140226) x 2 : M10 x 40mm
* Y (MD740892) : M10 x 43.5mm
* Q (MD706012) : M8 x 60mm

* The Q bolt (red arrow) is the only bolt that goes in from the block side and threads into the transmission.
* There should be hollow dowel pins(MD020260) at V Q where the bolt goes through to align the block and transmission.
* The U bolt above V is not used when you swap a 6bolt block to your 2G tranny.

Everything will match up perfect except for the above stated transmission mount. No starter clearance issues. I used Royal Purple in the 2g turbo transmission and it shifted like hot melted butter.



Hope this helps out, I spent hours upon hours uncovering information for this swap to be successful when I needed quick information for this is my daily driver.

why has no one givin mad props to this guy?

 

[turbodsm007]

props man, woudl have never thought to even try such a sketchy project.....

Appreciate it, I'm currently building a motor to drop in with the turbo drive train. The motor will remain n/t for now, but is set up for a turbo conversion later. The junkyard motor that was in the car when I bought it finally crapped out on me after two years... A good run in my opinion for a junkyard motor, and still roastin' Hondas in the process

I was beginning to think this write up was just going to disappear into the archives.

That's pretty awesome, dude.

Thanks for taking time to put this out for everyone.

Not a problem, I hope it becomes useful at some point in time. I had no regrets doing this conversion, my first reaction was "why didn't I do this sooner?"
I just have the factory shifter installed (different shift knob of course), and I don't think I would want a shorter throw for street use. The throw felt significantly shorter after the conversion, and would glide smoothly into every gear.

Current engine build to accompany:
4g63 6 bolt block
Balance shafts eliminated
HKS 264/272 grind cams
Clevite main/rod beaings
G4CN (4g67) head
3g Revised lifters
Evo 8 Springs/Retainers
Evo 9 pistons on frankenstein rods (.02 over)
Prothane motor mount inserts to hold it down

Just out of curiosity, is anyone going to do this, or at least plan on doing this??

this swap is a 2g gst transmission in a 1g 6 bolt right?

I have done it before but i modified the shift lever in the transmission. It worked great tho!

why did u have to modify it??

 

[Dsm810z]

One of the shift levers is bent in the middle whereas the other one is straight. you can either modify or change them out....much easier to bend the one into the proper position. I just left it be, shifts are perfect.


Yes, 2g gst transmission in a 1g 6 bolt fwd. Sorry for the late delayed replies, life has been quite the hectic case lately.
