HadeS Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hi all. I'm doing the conversion for 6 speed manual using BMW gearbox (GS6 53DZ - same as Mattsson on his build). Just wanted to share with you how I'm doing. Here is the adaptor plate: All CNCed with 0.1mm precision Now waiting for flywheel to be made. Conversion will be using twin plate clutch from BMW M Power. More info to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 If you dont mind me asking but how much is it going to cost all in for parts? Abd an estimate for labour? Do you know how much torque the box will take? Good luck with the build cant wait for updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Have you a photo, or a link to one with the flywheel and clutch mounted, *AT THE SAME TIME* as the adaptor plate? I am sure I am having a senior moment, but right now me no understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how much torque the box will take? As soon as I'll have all parts ready to go in I can then add all up and let you know. Mattsson Supra was dynoed 962 at the hubs and 1052 hp at the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure I am having a senior moment, but right now me no understand I know exactly what you're thinking. I thought it too. I would hope that the spigot bit in the middle is purely to align the engine and box and adaptor plate and needs to be cut out now that it all lines up. Surely?

I am sure I am having a senior moment, but right now me no understand Hehehe I think I know what you are after Chris Middle section of the adapter is only there for testing is crank shaft inline with input shaft of the gearbox. Can be cut off now as all is spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattsson Supra was dynoed 962 at the hubs and 1052 hp at the engine That would be great and thats alot could be the best alternative for a cheaper 6speed supra and I bet the bmw box has a great smoother feeling too.

Chris Wilson Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Jeez, that is a terrible way of trying to pick up the crank C/L. You'll be telling me the adaptor isn't dowelled to the block and gearbox, each side next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safcdixon Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Nice! Just done a quick ebay search on these 6speed boxes can be had for less than £500! Good bit cheaper than the Getrag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Has anyone driven one yet? Some BMW 'boxes these days are really quite notchy. I'd prefer the Getrag because while it's a little heavier-handed, it's proper known quality and will help protect the value of the car better.

HadeS Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Has anyone driven one yet?. Would have to ask Mattsson how is the gearbox feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I've owned both a 6 speed Supra and a 6 speed M3. I'd rather have an auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadeS Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 I've owned both a 6 speed Supra and a 6 speed M3. I'd rather have an auto. It's not M power gearbox. It's from E60, E61, E90 3.0 diesel engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Least you know it should be able to handle the torque then as the 3.0L has a fair amount of punch. Looking forward to the updates although I'm with Chris on the centre location of the spline. It should be located with dowels into the crank case and gearbox case that will ensure the spline is central?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Least you know it should be able to handle the torque then as the 3.0L has a fair amount of punch. Yeah. That. The E36 M3 6 speed was clunky and horrible. The box you're using isn't too bad, being in the latest generation of 5 series, they need to be reasonably smooth, being a BMW and all.

HadeS Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 It will cost few pounds to start with but later on all replacement parts will be much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
