Hey guys, I've got a 86 FC n/a which I use for drifting. Due to the lack of torques the n/a makes, and because I came a across a steal of a deal, I'm installing a 92 1.3b REW. I've got the special mounts on order for the engine, and I'm picking away at other odds and ends i need to take care of. But I have to use the stock n/a trans . I don't have the money to use the REW trans, nor to cash to come up with a T2 trans (if there is a difference between the n/a and T2). My question is what clutch can i use. I've found some conflicting info with the clutches for example the n/a has 22 teeth on the input shaft on the trans and the t2 has 23? I want to use a t2 clutch, but i want to make sure I'm not going to waist my money and get the wrong clutch. Any help would be greatly appreciated gents

 

The clutch and flywheel must match the transmission. You can't use a TII clutch with an NA transmission/flywheel. Spline count is different, and the diameter is different.

Something else to consider is that you can't use an OEM manual flywheel from an '86. The rear counterweight is integrated, and would imbalance the engine. You could however use an aftermarket NA flywheel + an S5 auto counterweight, or just an S5 manual NA flywheel. S5 and S6+ rotors are the same weights, and can therefore use the same counterweights.

Engine management and your intercooler options are going to have a much bigger impact on your wallet than the clutch/flywheel setup. http://fc3spro.com/TECH/SWAP/FD3S/rew.html

 

Thanks for the info Rocket. Can I use the S6 flywheel i already have? or is the bolt pattern different than an S5? It's almost sounding like it may be best just to use the S6 trans if i can find a way to get a mount under it. But then ill have to deal with the drive shaft Gah! I have the complete engine/wiring harness and well everything i need. I bought a wrecked FD for cheap cheap cheap. It came with a APEXi power fc ecu, koyo rad, a somewhat decent intercooler. I have all the wiring from the car front to back. I'm going to try and integrate the harnesses, and also attempt to use the FD gauges. But we'll see, i need to figure out this trans issue before anything else though.

 

Sorry I should have read the link lol. So you can use the REW flywheel, but i still need to come up with the trans...

 

No, you have to use an NA flywheel. TII and S6+ (FD) flywheels are larger in diameter, and won't fit.

 

Well, right now I don't have many options. Im going to try to mash something together, so at the very least i can get it moving. I have a semi worn Racing Beat 4 puck sport/race N/A clutch. So what my plan is, to get a TII pressure plate and try that until I can buy a TII trans. What do you think Rocket?
