This adapter kit allows you to attach a Nissan 4.0L VQ40DE CD009 transmission to a VW/Audi/Porsche 3.0L V6 TDI Engine. The most commonly used engine is the CATA and CNRB. Other 3.0L V6 TDI Engines will not currently work because the starter does not bolt to the Timing Cover.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Our kit has numerous features that set us apart from the competition.
PREMIUM BILLET ALLUMINUM ADAPTER PLATES. We do not skimp on quality, and only use high quality 6061 Aluminum billets. Our tempered 6061 is far superior to the cheap cast non-tempered aluminum adapter plates typically seen with cheaper adapter kits. Our billets undergo a tempering process of heat treating and artificial aging to achieve the perfect strength and toughness for our application.
EXTRA FIRE WALL CLEARANCE. Our 2.3 inch thick adapter moves the M57 engine forward 2.3 inches from the transmission bellhousing. The transmission remains in the original position, keeping the shifter in the factory position for most vehicle conversions.
HIGH PERFORMANCE CRANK ADAPTER: Our high-performance crank adapters are manufactured from high-strength alloy steel and designed to handle demanding applications. Rated at 800 ft-lbs of torque, these adapters are engineered to deliver the strength and reliability your drivetrain needs.
Crank adapters are subjected to significant stress and repeated load cycles, making material selection and design critical to long-term durability. Unlike aluminum or mild steel alternatives, our alloy steel crank adapters are built with performance and reliability in mind.
We believe your crank adapter should never be the weak link in your drivetrain.
MAINTAINS STOCK STARTER. Our kit maintains the stock starter and flex plate from the 3.0L V6 TDI.
(2) Adapter plates: Billet 6061-T6 Aluminum, 1.9" Thick
(2) Crank adapters: Alloy steel for high performance applications (800ft-lbs torque). Pilot bearing pre-installed for manual kit.
Installation hardware for bellhousing, crank adapter, and starter are included. No flywheel/flexplate bolts are included. You need to use OEM equivalent flywheel bolts.
OEM flywheel bolt size: 8 bolts, M10 x 1.0, length approx. 24.5mm
This kit was specifically designed to replace a Nissan VQ40DE Engine. This kit makes the back of the VW/Audi/Porsche 3.0L V6 TDI engine look like the engine block it is replacing. This means you can bolt any Transmission that was factory bolted to the VQ40DE.
