Auto What Is It

[Turps]

I am thinking of putting and XR6T motor into a 4wd. Only problem is no one makes an adaptor kit yet for the Nissan gearbox.

So wondering what type of auto ford use? As this could be another option. Plus having a tiptronic auto in the Patrol could be cool.

Also whats the Ford 5spd auto good for as far as power goes? As the nissan 4spd auto after a full rebuild and upgrade is good for about 600hp (not sure of the cost of that though).

Wouldnt it be easier to use a RB30ET nissan engine instead, they can make huge power and the adapter plates would most likely already exist.

Dazza.

Ford use a BTR 4 speed auto they dont have a 5 speed. The new BF which is coming out within a month (I think) is coming with an optional 6 speed ZF gearbox with can handle high power levels. Power levels for autos im not 100% sure. Geea on here has a modified BTR auto and he is running 385 RWKW.

Thanks for that. Will search for BTR4 speed kits. Dont think I have seen any yet. But have since found out that someone does a kit for the nissan 5spd (still want auto though), but should fit the Nissan 4spd auto also.

As for the RB30DET motor, it has been done before. Using a RB30 GQ gearbox (same as 300zx). But not really wanting a smaller motor. Have been in 4.2turbo utes and like the way this size motor works. So belive the 4lt BA XR6T would be perfect. Good torque, reliable good HP. Was going to go for 300rwkw. But think 220-250rwkw, will spin the wheels fast enough.

There is a guy from melb also looking at putting one into a 99 GU wagon (current shape patrol).
