I'm looking at converting my ke17 sprinter and dropping a 13B into it. I was just wondering if you guys can point me into the right direction in terms of gearbox and diff. The car currently has a T50 celica box in it, would that hold up behind a 13B or is another box required? If so what would you guys recommend? Also, any recommendations for what diff to run? Not looking at running ridiculous power at the moment but might go down the turbo path in the future.

 

Cheers

You'll need a gearbox that bolts to a rotary.

 

Narrowed Hilux duffs seem to be a popular conversion but you might also consider the RX7 diff from the car you'l no doubtl be acquiring the engine and gearbox from. In which case get the tailshaft too!

 

If I had a Sprinter with a T50 I'd go for a 2TG!

 

 

Rotary conversions usually involve cutting stuff. I'm not sure id want to cut stuff on a ke17 sprinter!!

 

Fitting the gearbox in the gearbox tunnel will probably be the trouble.
