Hey guys, just wondering what parts I would need to convert a vx. 18 to a single speed. What clutch bell etc.? I'm not sure what other parts would be needed. I was gonna change my xl to a 2 speed but was advised to keep it simple so now I just want a bigger engine on my car, thus the .18. Help me out! Thanks guys! Arlin.

just the engine bro, they are basically the same size.

Thanks man! I knew I could count on you ehroof! Thanks again. Arlin.

are you wanting to upgrade engines? if so i've heard that this is a good replacement http://www.osengines.com/engines/osmg2104.html

either do that or keep the vx .18 and pair it with the single speed conversion from clearmont motorsports

will that conversion kit work with my tornado? I read about it and it only mentions the volcano. My tornado is already set up to be single speed so I'm still a little confused as to whether I just need a new clutch bell or not.

yeah it will work on the tornado its a better over all preformer that the stock single .....alot of guys on here have said good things about it

ok cool man, thanks! Im gonna order it! Appreciate it! Arlin.

leave your tornado the same way, you wont gain anything out of it.

ok final decision, I wont change it! lol! Thanks ehroof! Arlin.

the engine would make a difference but not the trans set up.

hmm now i'm having doubts i was told by someone that it would be an improvement on the tornado hmm wierd

i still dont know what kind of advantage , over a 1 sp conversion should be expected

I think there is a misunderstanding. He has a tornado single speed which already is a single speed lol...

it is an improvement over the 2 speed xp, not the single speed lx, the lx doesnt have all those gears in it to begin with like the volcano transmission so it would not be that great of a help.

but whats better about that than just switching to a lx tranny?

oooh ok i understand now .....i thought the singlespeed tornado was the same

I think everyone was confused. My question was basically, did I need to change clutch bells on the 18 to make it work with the single speed tranny already in my xl. and if so, which one would I need to buy? Sorry for the mess! arlin.

no, you can use all the same stuff from the .16 on the .18, i understood what you said, lol

ok cool. glad we're at the bottom of things! lol! arlin.
