anyone know much about the XRS 6 speed... I know there set up is almost Identical to the TC. I was wondering if there is anyway to use the linkage which I think is close to the same except 2 brackets. and the tranny which the blocks I think are the same or close to fit a 6 speed in my tc... any thoughts .... any foreseen problms???

 

i remember zpi was developing an adapter plate back in the day when they where still in business. i don't think any one has attempted it since then.

 

well from what i hear zpi is done for right???
so is there any news from other companies making something like that?

 

BUMP!

 

I highly doubt they are the same or close since its meant for a completely different engine.

And for what it would cost you I doubt it would be worth it. I can't think of a reason to really have a 6spd in the tC

I would just throw the money it would take into your is300 if I were you

 

i would love to have a 6 speed tc

 

actually my friend has an XRS ... and it is very similar to the TC tranny. I think it is just a bit smaller..... from my measurements like 1/4-12 smaller in some spots all the way around... there are 2 brackets that are different and the linkage is a bit diff but very doable... the engine is not that much different then ours actually the block may be a bit smaller but the head is almost the same VVTLI vs VVTI. if you take a look its rather amazing

 

#2 the reason it would be worth it b/c you would be a rare breed if not the only one, and it would give you a much wider gear ratio... it would be much easier then trying to develop a wider 5th gear.. which everyone on here knows the gearing sux,,

BTW I already have an Is300 and It has a complete J-spec swap its very fun but its not that uncommon

 

A 6spd would be awesome in the tC. but its not gonna happen. End thread!!

 

Well if you have the extra money laying around just to be a "i have it and you don't" then by all means. But even if the gearing in the tC sucks, unless you absolutely love the tC that much I just think it would be better off spent somewhere else, just my opinion.

Oh and I knew you had an IS300 cause of whats under your avatar Figured it was safe to assume that you had one.

 

Your opinion is FAIL. Has nothing to do with the original question.

If Luther does it, everybody is going to want to know how. People have been calling for a 6-speed since I got here in 2004 - just nobody has been willing to do the research. We'll get a good tech article out of this.

Some people on this forum astound me. We have monster truck xBs, limo xBs, RWD drift tCs - all kinds of permutations of these cars. Why NOT a 6-speed? It's Scionlife, not Your-Scion-Isn't-Worth-The-Effort-Life.

 

The RWD tC is a Beams Motor from a Toyota Altezza which is RWD. Thats how they made a RWD tC. So Your statement is FAIL. Its not even really a tC anymore. JUst the tC shell. Maybe if they did it with a stock tC then it would be something that would be worth using in your statement.

 

If your referring to my opinion I don't see how an opinion is "fail".

The RWD tC, limo xb, monster truck xb, etc. that were worked on probably had a lot of sponsors or a damn near unlimited budget. Thats why I said if you have the money laying around then go for it. Most projects like that are nowhere near cheap. I was just stating that I personally don't feel that a project like that would prove remotely beneficial unless you have a huge/unlimited budget

But like highvoltage said - the RWD tC isn't really a tC anymore and wasn't exactly put together by some kid that said "hey i want a rwd tc" it was a HUGE project that took a lot of time, money, sweat and tears, and i'm sure some blood was in the mix somewhere.

I know people have been calling for a 6spd in the tC..I've been on SL long enough to see several threads on pretty much the same thing. The fact is the money and time it would take is not something everyone has access to. I would have no problem seeing it done. Bottom line - anything can be done if you have the money for it.

I'm sorry you were offended by my opinion and that I made it seem like "its not worth the effort". And I doubt its an issue of no one is willing to do the research. I'm sure someone has and they probably discovered something that would just not be a practical or worthwhile thing to do. Basically you saying "no one has been willing to do the research" probably goes hand in hand with your little sarcastic "it isn't worth the effort" cause it probably isn't.

well basically the way I see it...lol... if I develop an adapter for relatively cheep (which is expensive to develop but relatively cheep to make... I don't want to here you say,..... oh its not worth it... Now if anyone has anything to say pertaining the ORIGINAL QUESTION pleas feel free to speak now and let the duchebags GTFO

 

First of this is a forum where people can post there opinions about the originial question. So why dotn you stop being a douchebag and grow up. Do whatever R&D you want and if you make it work more power to you but until then stop whining about peoples opinions in this thread.

 

If you've got the money to do it, then go for it

 

A Civic Si is still a civic isnt it? An IS 350 is still an IS, The tundra 5.7 is still a tundra along with the lower v8. Engine doesnt change the name of the car, otherwise the tC would be the 2fe wutever the engine is lol.

 

Your stupid. Those are different trim levels made for that model. The Beams motor is from the Altezza. The tC's stock transverse engine configuration was chnged to a longitudinal setup in order to drive power, through the transmission and drive shaft, directly to the rear wheels. It features a G-Force five-speed sequential transmission as well. Totally different car. A tC is FWD that engine and tranny make it RWD. So you FAIL. Does anybody actually think before they say anything.

 

If you have the resources and funding to do it, please do. And if you make the production model of the adapter a good price, and there are reliable sources for getting the 6spd tranny for a decent price also you have an OK side-business on your hands.

The tc won't go away I dont think, and when it gets older and is more obtainable for project cars like civics are, aftermarket will probably blow up even more and there will be even more potential for it.

Don't even get me started on the haters on Scionlife. Way too many people cry out and defend themselves after being idiots. Who cares if money is better spent elsewhere... thats the quote that if followed we'd still look like the Geico cavemen.

When gram bell was working on his patent, and had to buy materials for his prototype, i'm sure people were like omgzorz FAIL!!1, spend your coins on bread and milk Bell, we can just yell at eachother. If they could've look ahead in time they'd all have knee rash.

Btw gymo its 2azfe, lol


Highvoltage just gtfo you debbie downer. Go take your purple tc for a ride and cool off.

 

Dude are you serious, like I said the engine does not make the car, the exterior design does!
