Daniel's TruckStiva Build Thread (56k warning)

hey did your BP end up further forward than oem and lower in the engine bay?

no it just has a mild tilt forward for the tail shaft to clear.

[Nerd Racing]

hmm... mine is further forward than most of the BP swapped guys' setups from what I saw at Ohiostiva. It's clocked more as well. I have to crawl under it and see how "straight" the drive shaft angles will be.

[Rocketman]

You're also running a BP trans and not a cable G trans. Different clocking

[Nerd Racing]

he is running a cable trans in his AWD setup.

[Rocketman]

I was referring to the B6T G5MR "cable clutch" transmissions. They engine mounts perfectly vertical on them. (in reference to your comparison of the BP's at ohiostiva)

There are no cable clutch AWD mazda transmissions. Both the BF and BG awd use hydro clutch systems

[Damkid]

^^they (Daniel and nerd) are both using BG AWD tranny's

[daniel_cogar]

its a bpt transmission not the gtx 1.6... bg awd cable shifter and hydro clutch. mine doesnt use the diff lock motor like nerd's awd transmission. I think his is the bf also?

[Damkid]

Nerd has a BG GTX trans, viscious (sp?) LSD just like yours

[Nerd Racing]

I do have the GTX one just like yours Daniel. and Rocketman, some of the VERY early BFMR GTX's came with cable clutched transmissions.

oh ok. I got my drive shaft shortened 3 1/4 inch and mounted.

[Nerd Racing]

did you get it re-balanced? and did you move the steering rack or just keep it in the stock location?

Viscous

Steering rack is in the same location. the shaft hasnt been balanced yet but will defiantly be before its legal.

[Nerd Racing]

cool man. I'll have to keep you posted as to how much I remove from mine. I just finalized 2 of my 4 mounts tonight.
