I think Jatco g/box is a good choice. Chop shop can justify this for you.

 

[5115]

problem is,tis fella chop majority japan brand...he know less on conti car,currently the half cut is in japan & will be ship over here in June.i need to justify myself to make sure it's a good buy,not bargain but at least it wont cut me at the end..

 

[SS626A]

A simple rule. C bfor buy bro! U no need gv him any deposit right?!

 

[tamade7]

When I change engine I simply ask my mechanic to look for me. When he says good, it means good because he will be the one who is doing the transplant. Save me the hassle and time.

 

[SS626A]

Hi tamade7! Can u share us more your experience here?! Wat engine u convert bfor? Tell us more pls....

 

[5115]

i havent pay any deposit,since the half cut guy is in japan now.i am trying to ask him do me a favour once i confirm the 320 single vanos, try to gimme interior ABC pillar cover,partition & carpet at the rear compartment,rear diff & exhaust + M3 bumper...all these might cost as low as RM4k it's would be better if i could confirm the half cut & close tis deal.

 

[laneza]

buy first and if u dont want u can sell the part one by one since it's cheap rite?..more RM but takes time...if u love it then do ur transplant as soon as possible + modification hp...

 

[5115]

i dun want to take any risk to buy wrong stuff..

anyone who experienced tis before pls share ut thought here..

5115 your incoming engine quite "Laku" here bro!

 

[5115]

can anyone help?

for 320 single vanos,
1)how to justify brand of gearbox?which 1 is better or pro & cons?
2)how to know the block type (alu or iron)?which 1 is better or pro & cons?
3)how to know whether it's M50B20 or M52B20?does M50TUB20 exist?

hope all sifu & otai here could share some info or experience...

 

[5115]

5115 your incoming engine quite "Laku" here bro!

what do u mean by laku here?sabah?

 

[SS626A]

"Laku" = interested by onthers

1) ZF 5 speed is smooth but power is not impresive ...Jatco 5 speed is not as smooth as ZF but the power is sweat and easy to get if ur gb kong in future and cheaper as well....
Jatco stand for Japan Tranmission Company so i think u now know its just available for Japan spec ....(infor. from Sifu Lionel_Koh)

2) I think tat can justify yourself when look at its engine block. Bcos alu & iron are diff materials. Alu light than iron but with poor heat resistant. Btw, Iron heavy but reliable.

3) V can know all of these from the document, am I right? Maybe V can look at his ECU.

Please correct me, If I am wrong.

There is a fellow forumer doing a transplant for his cabriolet in TTDI Jaya. But it is only a M20. He is buying both the front and rear part. You might want to have a chat with him, a friendly cap.

[SS626A]

[5115]

Do you mean tat u wan to put a fan to your iron block engine or alu block engine? I think tat ori radiator is good enough for excharge d heat from engine. If you put d fan on all the time. 2 things u need to consider:

1) Fan's loud noise is annoying u. Just like our first Proton Saga's fan was built.

2) More current power extra needs = Car's Dynamo extra work = engine power loss. I think tat something like when v on our Air-con, V can feel some diff compare with off Air-con.

Please correct me, if I am wrong.

 

[5115]

i mean keep the radiator fan spinning as i drive 90% from KL city>kepong>sri damansara...traffic jammed most of the time,my concern is will aluminium block easily overheated altho we use good coolant?
