Ls2 Awd Conversion

[gt4dirtcircut]

has anyone grafted a ls2 onto a gtr sump and made adaptor for gear box?

did find ls1 conv in rear wheel skyline but not awd

Didnt the coupe4 come out AWD...? Or Adventurer..? Just use the engine and box...

Where is the fun in that then....

But still could trick up the auto..

You are pretty much asking the impossile there.

I have seen a Twin turbo 1uz-fe powered TA28 celica that had GTR running gear, including the AWD, He had to cut the diff off the sump and weld it to the cross member, than had to dry sump the lexus V8 as it wouldnt fit with the GTR diff in the way.

It could be done, but would be way easier to build a 1000hp RB 26/34, and probably cheaper too.

I think the best way is regular 4wd underpinnings, hilux seems the choice (there is a v8/hilux 4wd 260z running around hillclimbs).

main problem with the gtr setup is that the driveshaft and front diff are in the sump....which means that setup has to fit on the bottom of the chosen motor, and the motor's location is fixed between the front wheels (can't really move forward or back).

its an interesting idea, but the gtr setup just does not lend itself to the change

heres a mazda eunos with holden ls1 5.7 adventura awd running gear

very quick even tho its an auto

have got a gtr sump/diff and a ls2 6.0 with adaptor plate might just get it to work

can only try

you can bolt the t56 6speed up. im sure you could adapt the transfer. or the bellhousing adapter to skyline is a good idea,

dont know what the holden front diff is like though.

the ls motor would have to be similar weight to a rb motor and with it being 2 cylinders

shorter hopefully the weight transfer wouldnt be to far from original specs

get yourself the awd auto box and transfer, a T56 manual, remove the transfer and see if someone manufacturers an extension housing for the manual. possibly give dellow automotive or castlemaine rod shop a buzz

all ready have a gtr box and sump just trying to nut out adaptor for chev to gtr box

might have to use alternate front diff like duncan said a bit restricted to where

the motor can go then i dont have to alter chev sump just extend front tail shaft

First thing I would do is measure where the sump bolts to on a ls2 in relation the the height of the crank and compare it to a GTR. I have made a custom sump and adapter that moves the GTR diff forward 140mm, so I can mount the 26/30 further rearward. I already have a SR20 to RB25/26 box conversion jig and was even playing witht he idea of making a 4wd north south sr20 "gtr" (but put it in a clubman style thing)
