Bill Hincher Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I took the last w series bellhousing and put it on a diet I thinned the walls and expanded the rear facing, I included the EVO 4/9 bolt pattern along with the first and second gen narrow block and placed the bolt pattern for the pre 96 R 150 and 150 trans as well as the original W 55/59 transmission , while I was at it I moved the starter bolts to the AWD flywheelhttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseiesbellhousing1.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseiesbellhousing2.jpg I finished out the dual bolt pattern for the trans side so it accepts both the w 55/59 trans or the R 151 or 150 trans http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseiesbellhousing3.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk3.jpg I am building 3 bellhousings right now, I want to be completed in a couple weekshttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk4.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk6.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk7.jpg I liked how the bolt holes lined up in the T 5 project so well, I went back and did it to this model too I spent a great deal of time on wall thickness, I wanted to get i as light as possible without sacrificing strength these are built to be used on the narrow block first gen, and second gen and EVO 4 through9 its going to be used with the AWD flywheel, I can build it to accept the FWD but its too confusing to have them machined at a outsource if I switch aroundhttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk10.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk11.jpg all the planning and designing is over, now its just old fashioned sanding http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk12.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk13.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk14.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk15.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk16.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk17.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk19.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk20.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk21.jpg sand and fill sand and fillhttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk22.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Great Work Bill! (as usual) I have always thought of doing an EVO swap if I find a good shell. Now you just made that do-able Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOMINUS Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Hello there mr Bill!Can i please ask you something!Many people are starting to use the nissan's rb motors in their cars such as rb 25,26 or rb30 and they all use the transmission from the GTS-T skyline which is a very very strong rwd only box and has plenty of aftermarket stuff including an ikeya type sequential shifter!Has anyone asked you to do something like that for the 4g63 series engines and how difficult it would be to make one?Nissans gearboxes and espesially the above is known to handle more that 650hp with ease!why everybody is asking for toyota ones?Is it because there more available?

jolyrgr Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Give me a PM when you have a finished product on this. I have a narrowblock and an AWD flywheel already just itching to get used. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs about $5000.00 to develop new ideas, if you would like to finance that job I would look into it I have been asked many times about the Nissans, ( to my knowledge)they dont have a detachable bellhousing, which would require a flywheel adapter, I am not in favor of changing the flywheel in the manual set up for many reasons, the starter was another major hurdle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitsuDriftPunk Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Whats the final price of this bell housing? I would imagine the R150 is much more common than the R154 and I think that it will hold the HP levels I'm aiming for. Whats the turn around time on one of these?

Whats the turn around time on one of these? yeah they are done,the whole idea was to bring a more affordable choice of transmission on board, I will post pic's this week, I been so busy building differnt stuff I havent had time to do the production side of the work, they run about $300.00 http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk25.JPG http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk23.JPG Edited December 19, 2010 by Bill Hincher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Hincher Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I built this model in an oversize so the first casting will be the pattern, it makes a more durable pattern and it holds closer tolerences to future castings. I been cleaning it up for a new production run http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk31.jpg http://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk33.jpghttp://www.billsautofab.com/images/WRseriesnarwblk29.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
