Is that a '203 '203 '205 ... err, tripler?

Seems like crazy torque multiplication to the '205 input.

And the four sticks required :haha:

So that would be 1:1,2:1,4:1&8:1 reduction right? I don't think you can get that from an Atlas.
 
Let's see a small block with a LWP measures about 33'' from fan to bellhousing, a turbo 400 is around 28" and this compensating for sumptin contraption measures about 33'' for a grand total of 94". Almost 8 feet long!!! Holy crap I hope you have a 4 door long bed for that setup.
 
I believe that the truck those triple tcases are going in is a crewcab K30 on Rockwells. I PM'ed the guy who is building the rig on another site asking for a buildup thread to those triple tcases. He used an NP203 to Atlas 2spd adapter to adapt the 2 203s together.

why would you possibly need that much reduction when you have rockwells?
 
If you wanted crazy reduction -- and I'm not arguing whether that's valid or not -- this is one way to do it. If you had lots of '203's sitting about, maybe it would be cheaper, say, than a 3:1 gearset in *one* 203 and another in the 205. :dunno:

I'm a big fan of using stock parts to do clever stuff, but yeah, without knowing a lot more about the rig and its intended use, it could be silly.

First of all, I'll agree on the point about that amount of reduction being useless in the real-world.......but it sounds good when bench racing, and something different is something different.

The 4 speed Atlas is basically on of their regular t-cases with a 2.72:1 planetary added to it. Therefore they all have 1:1 and 2.72:1, then coupled to your choice of either (I believe) the 2:1 or 3.8:1.

If you opt for the:
2:1 = 1:1, 2:1, 2.72:1, 5.44:1
3.8:1 = 1:1, 2.72:1, 3.8:1, 10.34:1

Guy in our club recently built a rig with the 10.34:1 Atlas, and needless to say the only time the 10.34:1 is used is to play with it in the parking lot. Even the difference between the 2.72 and 3.8 is almost moot.

I think it should be called a "quadrupler" since each stage doubles the previous low range. Yes, each stage may not be 2:1, but we still use the term "doubler" for all dual transfer cases.

Maybe we need a poll.

At any rate, this would be a difficult vehicle to steal if you don't know what it is. It's like a combination lock getting 4 sticks out of nuetral and also a gamble getting high enough gearing that you can flee the scene in less than a day.
 
pretty kewl lookin setup.it would never work in a blazer,but in a 6 pack or k30 longbed,it would be able to handle the length of that thing.if it works for what he does with it,its worth it to him.may not be what we would do with our trucks,but its not our build.
