interest reading.... every day; im learning some new.. nice projekt; keep on!!!!!

Btw. What are you planning to do with steering rack & track rods? It's rather tight with them already with the stock gearbox & engine location. If the rack is moved bacwards also, the steering geometry will change quite a lot.

steering rack will be moved about 12-15 cm backward, so track rods must be longer and change angle
I hope steering geometry will be good, we are going to change shape of track rods - something like S-letter shaped

right now we are finishing custom floor and gearbox mounts

it is not easy, like build car anew...

for couple days will be update with new pictures

[Mr.Crossfire]

You'll get more ackerman-toe-out with moving rack backwards and thus making the steering arms longer. The shape of the arms does not affect the geometry, only the distance and position of pivot points. If you change the shape of the steering arms, make sure that they are rigid enough. If they flex in high speed corners, your car propably will be quite nasty to drive. I have also been told, that ackerman toe out is not a good thing in a circle-track driven car. The inside wheel will turn "too much" for maximum traction. Almost all the weight will be transferred to the outside wheel during cornering though, so the inner wheel does not do as much.

haven't you considered to put BMW e30 steering rack? it would help with the steering geometry a lot,w hen track rods would be attached to wheel hubs and not to the shocks...

Any build updates on this project

[G60Rallye]

You would be best off turning the steering arms on the struts so they face backwards. That would help with the positions of the track rods.

I have just read back through the thread but couldn't find an answer. Does this gearbox have the same bellhousing bolt pattern as an inline 5 block?

[Sleeper_Avant]

from what ive been looking at lately, yes it does, with starter in the same place

but will need trimmed to fit origional crank sensors in STD position

hope this helps

woohoo he is back!

i like this build.

is it a phaeton adapter plate you are using? i have a 0b2 box in my garage i was going to use with my 24v vr6 but my passat adaptor plate would not match up even with some modification. so i an now using an 02e

here is a poor pic of the 0b2 and 02e sat next to each other



the 02e is light weight in comparison

adapter from passat VR5 is probably the same like phaeton

connection VR6 with 0Bx gearboxes needs a lot modification (cut, weld, make new bores in adapter and gearbox bell housing), only 3 bolts match correctly, you must also make 3cm adapter to crankshaft (3 bores not match to "flywheel" from A4B8 !), use clutch and starter from A4 B8 or A5 etc

[Jaswan]

thanks, i did do some cutting

maybe i will use the ob2 later, after i have the car working

good luck with your car and keep up the updates!

Jason.

Nice! Any estimate on when the project is to be finished? :-)

What wheel Arches are those btw?
