Hey Danger Dan, love your work brother! I'm in Australia, and we have a long history of engine conversions, even our manufacturers used to play a big part in this once upon a time. Anyway, what I was thinking... I was impressed watching that little truck sliding in stock form, but then I just noticed (3rd time watching this current build) that the little beast was 4WD too! Personally, I'd use that little 660cc Kei engine in a "Shart-kart 2.0" build. Full tube frame, drop the engine and front and rear differentials in, strap a little T25 turbo to it, beef up the driveshafts. Instant track monster to compliment the miata Shart-Kart. Set one up for sliding, and the other one for racing... Just an idea, cause I'd have a crack at it if I could. Instead, I'm building a Ford ute (the Holden ute's long time rival), and the 1JZ-GTE in my 91 Soarer might be finding a home in it next...
I bought a Kove back in December after you guys pitched it, basic review: I fucking love it. I'm partially deaf in one ear and struggle to hear dialogue from purely my phone speaker. The Commuter is nice for music with the bass and perfect for clean vocals whether from UA-cam or a podcast. I don't use mine for phone calls specifically because of my hearing problems though, I have a dedicated headset.
T56 is definitely the transmission to go with. Super great availability for parts since they still make them. They’ve existed for a long time so there’s more built up knowledge both online and in books about that transmission.
The best part of this video is seeing this on twitch and then reseeing drew look like a deer in head lights lol lil Rotary baller hauler is coming along
I'd you can find a gearbox linkage from a Nissan c22 Vanette from the 90's it's a piece of art and works with a standard 5 speed transmission. It should theoretically be perfect for the braptruck and looks really cool if left uncovered. The problem is almost all of them got crushed because they caught fire in American spec with auto air conditioning power steering and 2.4 engine, my manual 2.0 with manual steering box just overheated all the time until I put the radiator at the back where the spare used to go. It has 444,000km on the clock, I've had it 15 years and I love it, still runs and I only just got the secondary on the carburettor working properly so it's actually got most of the 90 hp it had from the factory. With transverse leaf front suspension like the rear of a corvette, carry weight of 1100kg and weight of about 1200kg it's actually alot of fun and handles way better than it has any right to, it's actually a work of genius failed by lack of engine bay cooling, it's mostly Datsun underneath so that explains some of it. I think it's a work of genius with one design flaw, lack of engine bay cooling, and ultimately the American car marketing idiots who made sure it was overspecced caused it's sad demise in America at least. I'm in Australia and I think mine is a New Zealand import. Very special little unit, the commercial one is the one to go for with stiff springs, big brakes, low weight, lower roofline and massive rear rake except with over a ton of load when it's only a mild forward lean, lol. I've got a stack of speeding fines from mine and that was before the carb worked properly, fun times. I'll never get rid of my Vanessa, why would you really? A mobile tool shed is pretty handy if nothing else, and not many people can say their tool shed handles like it's on rails when it's dry and like a drift car in the wet, but mine does. The bloody air-conditioning is still ice cold in an instant and it's a '94. This is why I love Nissan/Datsun, the only real problem with them is body oxidation, something the recent explosion of 240Z builds has shown, the bolts that have never been cracked since the 70's come off like new, that's the word from my grizzled old mate with a first gen 260Z anyway.
Just an tip... if you are going to drift that thing at any point.. make sure that your roll gage all so covers the footwell. Those things are notorious for maiming legs even on slow impacts… there was an guy who lost both of his legs from knee down after aqua plaining at 40kph / sub 25 mph speed . He hit guardrail of bridge and the whole car was fine apart from foot well of drivers side . There is just nothing to take the impact and to prevent the pedals to shoot up n crush your legs. If i remember correctly ( been 15 ish years ago ) there is less than 2 inch of space between the outside of car to where foot well begins inside .
Skwisgar2322 Good call, I hadn’t considered that. Especially with the stock kei truck axle ratios being so high, even assuming an 8500RPM redline the top speed would be hilariously low. On the other hand, it’s a pit truck so it could probably use the towing torque more than the top speed. With the right combination of trans and diff ratios, it might actually work out just right.
It might be crazy but I've seen a few rock crawlers use fwd drivetrains like a transfer case. If you used a Civic or Accord transmission from the 90's to early 2000's it looks like it will put the front shaft in the right spot and leave a ton of room to figure out the rear. Certain Acuras had bolt on axle shafts if I remember correctly, so that might make it easier to get a driveshaft figured out. That should handle the power of an na 13b without issue. Super low gearing would be the only drawback I can think of.
@@stevieraymond7439 yeah But I dont see any problems with using a short shifter And the fact of the trans being cheap could mean more budget for cool stuff
For transmissions I'd look to what the circle track guys are using. Ford toploader 3 speed out of a truck should give lots of low speed range and they are cheap and plentiful. Same thing with a Muncie.
Make a 3 link or 4 link to push the diff further back and allow for more tailshaft. Gives you more options for gearbox and you can worry less about crazy uni joint angles.
In Australia in the early 90's, the rotary guys used 73 onwards Toyota Corona 4 speeds in their drag cars. I know that the Corona and the Toyota vans (liteace, hiace, tarago) shared the same gearbox internals with different ratios, and that all of them will take the power you're making, so I would use a van box and adapt the suzuki linkages to it. Hope that helps
I’m curious if you guys even need too put the front diff back in if your not going to keep it 4 wheel drive. If the engines oil pan sits above the front diff then could you just take it out to allow for more room to fit your new power plant?
If you're willing to go auto a short tail powerglide is only 24 1/4 inches long. Could always swap in a manual valve body so you're still able to shift.
I am doing the same thing in a newer Suzuki carry but doing 13b turbo I am looking at t56 or cd009 or it you want to go way out there Bmw dct 7 speed easy way to get over the shifter link problem. You can also use Mazda e2000 van Box with cable shift you can bolt the FC bell housing to it or the Toyota HiAce with some work
Corvette IRS with manual trans... Makes setting up a shift to the front super easy. Will handle all the power. Factory rotor clutch adapted to the torq tube. 🙋♂️🙋♂️
Use the longer FD trans, straight into the rear diff, no drive shaft, mount the engine on pipe and pin style mount so it can move with the rear axle... stupid idea... but it might work.
Wouldn't work need some kind of slide action in and out between trans and diff.. because when diff had load would push into trans when hit bump and load releases would pull part.. so unless no suspension in rear wouldn't work...
Hey Hoonigans make that drive shaft no longer than your pecker. So that you minimize loss of power from the drivetrain. PS. On the truck's name you should name it pitareorito standing for pit truck with the Dorito.
Soooo much fun. I've had an E30, SW20, S110, R32 GTSt, R33 GTS25t, RNN14, RB S13 and my U62V Kei van is the SLOWEST but the MOST FUN out of all of them ! Makes me and others on the road laugh hysterically every time I drive it.
I dunno if it would work but the Mazda RX2/RX3 were very small cars and came from the factory with rotaries. It might be a good idea to check out a gearbox from one of them, and put in gears from an FD if possible. Design wise, purple or blue flake paint with Work Equip 3s that have pearl chrome lips and gold centre caps would look insane. Make sure to slam her the only way you can. Hope you see my suggestions ahaha
I was thinking about making a new one wich would be very thin Like those arm I cant remember the name that link the top of the coilovers trough the engine bay
It'd be a bit of a faff to replace the entire rear suspension, plus, the corvette suspension is probably way too wide to fit under the kei-sized tray, they'd have to give it a 2 foot widebody.
I've seen Suzuki Carrys with big chrome cab-over trunk style exhausts. What would it look/sound like with an actual cut and welded big rig exhaust going up?
@Hoonigan Project Cars, from what I see, the 4WD is going away. So youre converting it to 2WD? I know it's more for convenience, and the fact that the drivetrain measurements won't allow to keep the current tranny/transfer combo. And with the power of that rotary, it might blow up. Keeping it 4WD with old Mazda pickup truck drivetrain might work with some mods. But that's just a suggestion. This will be a cool project, no matter what you end up doing.

Could you push the rear axle back to have more room for the trains or would that interfere with the suspension geometry to much.
front or Mid mount engine with a porsche transaxle or converting a subaru awd box to a transaxle setup?
