Has anybody on here done this conversion and if so is there much to it? I have access to hoist etc so the labour part of the job is no issue.
Cheers Richo

rusho(maybe soon), saam, jonno, many times before, have a quick look

I did it to my coily, used a WT transfer case, WT transfer mounts, WT jackshaft. You
will have to use the WT tailshaft (front/rear/jackshaft) nuts and bolts as the coily transfer case has a thread taped into each flange. Takes about 40mins to do if that!

[jonno_racing]

^^^^^ get new bolts and nilocks m10x35mm

[ZookiMonsta]

Also, I wouldn't bother putting one in unless it's got reduction gears fitted or the coily one is toast. No real
gain other than allowing you to fit gears.

[Richo]

yeah cheers for that was planning on fitting some reduction gears to it before fitting.

[Richo]

i just realised the transfer case i got is out of a n/t, does this make a difference??

[tanshi]

yeah, the flanges that the shafts bolt to are different

[Richo]

Can the coily flanges be fitted to the nt transfer??

I'm glad you asked that question...I would like to know the answer to that also

Rusho, Richo, I'm almost certain they are different.

[jonno_racing]

there diffrent.

[Rusho]

Damn you two

The Coily has Hi:1.320 and Low:2.145 ratios, so putting in a stock 1.3 geared case will give him 1.409/2.268, or a stock 1.0 case will give him 1.580/2.511.

High range reductions for his Coily would be 6.7% for the 1.3case, or 19.6% for the 1.0 case. Not to be sneezed at, and then there's reduction gears to go further if he wants.

[Richo]

either way the transfer i've got is out of an nt not a wt so it's useless to me anyway as the flanges are different.

Just swap the flanges over mate. Thats all you need to do. Put a wanted ad up for WT transfer flanges.

[303zuke]

Or you could keep those flanges on it, and put up an ad for NT driveshafts, 'cos you're going to need whole a new jackshaft anyway.

What about the diff flanges?

[303zuke]

Half and half shafts. Coily on the Diff ends and WT or NT on the Transfer ends.

Not exactly the cheapest away to do it, or the easiest

Iv'e got the NT jackshaft and might be able to get the driveshafts so thats an idea i can think about, cheers for the input

picked up a NT 1lt transfer with mounts and jackshaft and both driveshafts for $150 so i'm gonna have a crack at the conversion this week without reduction gears to see how big a difference it makes to my coily. I'm currently running 30" stt's so hopefully it gives some better low range!

[Rusho]

Its not going to be that much of a reduction really is it Still better than a coily POS t'fer though

Reduction gears to follow??

Good luck with the conversion Richo.

Rusho, I reckon you'd be very surprised at the difference. Mine has 30"s, and with the 1L case it makes a huge difference.

In anycase even if you're after more gearing, $150 isn't a bad spend for an immediate improvement. Especially considering that for gears you need to do the conversion anyway

Rusho, Richo, I'm almost certain they are different.

If they are the same as a 1L transfer. Just do as i did.

Take the original flanges and cut a section of about 5-10mm (can't remember exact amount) of the splined section off, this becomes a spacer. Slip it onto the output shaft, then slip the coily flanges on. It will space them out enough so they don't foul on the case body.

[bagnkat]

from memory the spline count / shaft diameter was different.

[ZookiMonsta]

Just sell the NT case and buy a donor WT for the reduction gears... I picked mine up for $90, you could get atleast half that
for the NT case.

WT t/fers are like rocking horse shit in WA and when you do find em they sure aint $90 and why would i just sell a NT case for $45 when i just paid $150 for it

X2. keep the NT case and slap some gears in it. Worry about the flanges later
