The curb weight of the vehicle will play a role in how much HP and torque you can apply to the transmission while still staying reliable, i.e., not grenading the transmission.
Good luck with the Audi gearbox.
God bless you, haha i was like i wonder who's brave enough to try this. I am going to weld up a frame and try this but it will be a "from the ground up" project.
This is exactly what I want to do
For your upcoming exhaust project, I humbly suggest saving yourself some headaches by ordering continuous CNC-mandrel bent tubing rather than TIG welding individual segments at each bend. I had a surprisingly reasonable estimate from Woolf Aircraft Products which included a modest setup fee and many material choices. If you can find a tubing supplier with a CNC mandrel bender locally, you should be able to save some money on shipping.
If you decide to TIG weld the entire length, plan each weld sequence strategically so your TIG torch can still fit into each nook and cranny. It sucks to grind away a beautiful weld after discovering that you're blocking another weld or that your last weld shrunk the tubing in an unexpected way causing fit-up issues. Either way, please keep the content coming!
Great advice! I'm partially excited to tackle the fabrication challenge but also looking forward to the end product so both routes look decent right now. I'll keep that in mind and keep updates rolling out.
This brings me inspiration for my own project. Thanks a lot man!!
I totally understand getting rid of the problematic "displacement on demand" but I would keep the VVT if you can
Nice to see you break out the scanner again. Sounds like a cool project. Looking forward to more updates 👍👍
Thanks! I'll do my best to keep them coming
Design or buy socalled 180 decrease exhaust manifold to your engine
Interesting. Ive got my 2013 LS 5.3 aluminum engine. Parted out from a new Hummer. I'd very much like to do this. For an undecided project. Ive got custom headers that come up over the intake. Originally for a rock crawler but maybe a boat or a Mid engine car. Or Turbocharged... Application. Ill keep watching. I also know someone who is building a custom GTR Race car. He also sells kits. hmmm.
this transmission seems perfect for the same config into a corvair. prob move the engine back to give more clearance on the front
You had me at Ryobie
wow, very cool work with the 3d scanner. Thats almost like cheating.
Exactamente que audi trae esa transmisión. Me podrías ayudar con las versiones y modelos y años.
Will you use bolt lube from steel to alum. for final assembly,
Love the project now that I found this one I need to go watch all your other videos ...... But I had a question I recently picked up a Audi 012. 5 speed with a shift cable shifter and all the accessories ..... And I found conflicting information on the internet some say they're the same case with different gears and others says it completely different transaxle I'm worried I will not be able to find an adapter ?? Do you know if they are the same can't wait to see your other videos!!!!!
Unfortunately I don't know enough about the 012 to know if it will work out. I'd reach out to a few adapter suppliers before ordering, they will know best and be able to guarantee a fit.
Doing good work brother! I'm on the same mission and this helped me choose my engine and transmission too!
Awesome! What did you decide to go with?
@@DirtyElbowsGarage Same ones, needed something reliable, but Ive never worked with Audi transmissions, can this still work if I get another different adapter plate for one of the 4wd transmissions or would this just be silly?
I can't say for sure without a deeper dive on how the AWD system biases torque between the front and rear wheels. I'm sure the bell housing would fit but I'd dig into it more before buying anything.
@@DirtyElbowsGarage Thanks man! Enjoy the work and can't wait to see the car hit the road!
😊
AWESOME. FINALLY a high quality, tastefully edited mid-engine build. LOVE it. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Want to do something similar soon.
Thank you! More to come soon!!
The 3-D work you did seems redundant and useless. The rest of it is amazing. You’ve earned yourself a subscriber good sir
Very interesting, your combination looks like super compact!, what brand scanner is that?
It's a Peel 2 scanner. And yep! This setup should be great to hit the geometry I'm planning.
. Interesting choice of transmission. Are all 01X trans the same? Gonna have to do a bunch of research on this. I also am i. The designing stage of a mid engine super car project.
I found a bunch of 01X transmissions listed. What did yours come out of? 01X301315G ..... same?
workshop-manuals.com/audi/a4_mk2/power_transmission/6-speed_manual_gearbox_01x_front-wheel_drive/technical_data/gearbox_identification/code_letters_allocation_transmission_ratios_capacities/?
Check this link out for all the 01X options. The code you listed is the SN I believe, but the specific gear ratios depend on a 3 character model. The majority of these gearboxes came from an Audi A4.
What clutch and pressure plate are you running along with what kind of master cylinder?
Clutch and flywheel came from the engine adapter supplier. The master cylinder I've got some direction on but not set just yet.
Is there a reason you went with the O1X gearbox versus the O1E?
01E is much harder to find and while it's a proven gearbox, the 01X seems to be strong enough for my goals. The adapter plate is the same (I believe) so if I decide to switch at some point it should be easy enough to do.
8 to 1 is the best sounding hell yea brother ive had some crazy ideas for years about some biulds hopefully 1 day i will get around 2 mine !!
Ive GOT to know where you found that gearbox. I can't seem to narrow down the version and year of the A4 that had that one. Help a brother out hahah. Im actually making a Very similar project based on. Lotus ezprit chassis...can't wait to see what you do.
Ebay is where I found mine. They rarely pop up for sale but they do. Shipping can be tricky being that transmissions are usually freight that ship to businesses only. I sent mine to a friend's business, but I believe Fastenal will receive freight for people as well.
@@DirtyElbowsGarage oh wow, yeah, i'll have to keep my eye out. its been almost 6 months with nothing yet lol. Do you know how to tell if its the fwd version or not other than it lacking the rear output shaft? I think the transmission code FYF has been used, but i'm not sure if that is exclusive to the FWD version or not.
I'm not sure about FYF but here's a link I used to help ID the FWD gearboxes: workshop-manuals.com/audi/a4_mk2/power_transmission/6-speed_manual_gearbox_01x_front-wheel_drive/technical_data/gearbox_identification/code_letters_allocation_transmission_ratios_capacities/
Most people won't list the code so the picture of the missing output shaft is definitely useful also.
@@DirtyElbowsGarage oh, nice. Thanks for the resource!
Sorry to bug you again, but can you tell me what made you choose the 01x vs the 016 or the even harder one to find 01E? From what i've been reading, people make it seem like the 01x and others will break under 350hp? thoughts?
Great question. The 01E is most definitely the standard. But as rare as the 01X is, the 01E is much much rarer. And with that rarity comes cost that make it less appealing as it gets closer to a custom gearbox. 016 and 012 are definitely known to be weaker while the 01X is/was a bit unknown. If I remember right the 01X is a successor to the 01E - even sharing a good portion of bell housing geometry. The main difference is that the 01E had cast iron housing components while the 01X uses cast aluminum. I had my concerns about the 01X until I ran across a guy who built and races a turbocharged LS tube chassis car at a drag strip. Launch after launch it holds up. Ultimately the cost and availability of the 01X is worth trying it out.
@DirtyElbowsGarage Very true. Ive been looking for the elusive unicorn 01E for months. Ive been thinking about trying the 01x approach myself. Are you using the 01x30044EX GVD? It seems there are several variations of each lol
@@DirtyElbowsGarage That's when I found a 93' UrS4 for $1500 and the hot side in pieces I jumped on it. The old Audi's usually require dismantling anyways to replace bushings, media blast components, and just a general refresh in generalal- great excuse for taking everything apart! Great content-thnx Man!
can u list all ur parts plz
I always wanted to put my passat drivetrain in a beetle
What types of cars does that gearbox come out of?
Search 01e from audi a4 a6 model
workshop-manuals.com/audi/a4_mk2/power_transmission/6-speed_manual_gearbox_01x_front-wheel_drive/technical_data/gearbox_identification/code_letters_allocation_transmission_ratios_capacities/?
Check this link out for more options but yes, an Audi A4 is where the 01X are primarily from.
Do you have a chassis for it?
Not yet, currently designing it though
Hi,i have the same idea as you,where are you located?
Texas!
Ya'll got any more of them pixels?
YT is giving me the ol "Processing HD" story
LS Motor is a MUST??? Because it is Easier? So your project will be easy to build and boring, ok got it. Notice I have another mid-engine V8 project..
