V8 transplant

[Robotnik123]

Would it be possible to transplant a V8 into a VR-4 and could 4WD be maintained? Was thinking a small displacement V8 like the M62B44 4.4L V8 from BMW.

too long, you'd never get one to fit!

Why would you anyway? The 6A13TT makes a heap more power and torque if you get a boost controller.

Not that I would, but say what-if your 6A13TT grenaded and you had a spare V8 lying around, and lots of time and money; it could be a cool project.

So what sort of 8 could you squeeze into a galant then? One of those VW W8s perhaps.

You'd put another 6A13TT in!

Sure that would be the sensible thing to do, but what if you wanted a project to work on longer term and you wanted to be a bit different. I am sure there are people out there who think like that.

put a lexus v8 and a td08 in it

[bradc]

If you really wanted to be special and have a V8, the mitsi 8A80 would be the obvious choice. Even came with a F5A51 gearbox which is very similar to our gearbox.

What about a lexus v8? or a 6G72 DOHC TT,mmmm.

soooo heavy!

IF you're going totally mad with ridiculously heavu powertrain, why not put another engine in the back?

Dual 6A13TTs?

Or how about a pair of 4G63Ts?

I think with the 6G72TT all the connections are the opposite way round to the 6A13TT

Gotta be a GM LS7...

Turn it round then!

[The Vee]

That much time etc?
Turn the V8 90 degrees, make a transmission tunnel find a suitable rear axle / diff couple it all up and...............

Oh yeah that's right.........i wonder if anyone has ever done that to a galant or legnum.

If you were going to spend the cash on fitting a 6G72TT, you might as well do a DOHC 24v 6G74TT. I had an n/a 6G74 DOHC 24v (was a bolt in job to my TR magna/diamante but never got around to the swap), and they're only 18mm taller in deck height, otherwise identical. But around 200kW and around 330Nm torque stock.

Use a V8 designed for transverse FWD, just like the 6A13 is. How about a Northstar? Or Audi 4.2?

^You mean the RS6 engine? :lol:
