If it fails it isnt gonna be burning out, Its gonna be when the tires leave the ground and catch back traction...

With a jackshaft, unless you are gearing 1:1 your asking for problems, with the gear ratio in the trans imo it is stupid not to run direct to the input shaft...

It is doable, but a waiste of time... And absorbs the savings of using the honda trans to begin with...

I agree, if you wanted to throw cash at thi sthing you wouldnt use the honda trans to start with. Go the 091 like fabr.. I wonder how much he would have spent had this all been retail work and not done largely in-house? Not all of us have his facilities.

IMO, of course....

Way way more than any jeffco or rpm box that is proven reliable, Hell he paid as much for the 091, as 2 rpm boxes can be had at dealer cost... Tho his goals are a bit different...

How far the input shaft seal is offset from the center of the cv flanges...

here are the pics.  outside of seal to outside of seal is approx 7".  input shaft is roughly 2" long from seal to tip and flush with output shaft seal. so to answer your question, I think the input seal is about 1"-1.5" to the left of the center of cv flanges.

first of all i am working with size  turning the busa engine sidways is not a solution i want to consider
yea it makes it easer to feed a tranny with power but all of that extera legth and wieght is not somthing i want to comprimaze
if i was going to do that i would build a full size car and use an ls1 out of a camaro
what i proposed is compact and will work for the length of the drive train you are using i could make the chain longer as for making a housing with gears in it i would do that my self and i would use transfer gears out of a 4x4transfer case then make my own case so the cost would be minimal
as far as testing the honda tranny it self i will use a chain to start with if the tranny holds up i will tackle the issue of chain wear

I don't know 45-50 lb ish.  I can pick it up one handed.  Feels about the same as my five gallon bucket of mud and I think it is 40#.  Fabber should know.  What does a bucket of drywall mud weigh?  I don't have a scale in the house, but if I feel motivated later I may run out to the go-kart trailer and get one.
