questions of using an w58 instead of turbo auto?

[demon2supra]

the drive shaft for the turbo and na supra 5speeds i know are different but has anyone used the na driveshaft in a turbo app and if so how was it done

[suprasath]

u just gota replace half of the shaft with the turbo one to the n/a. i forgot if its the back or the front part, it wokred aite. but make sure you put on a good clutch. stock one wont handle it. ull regret. i do. my advise would be to go with the r154. much stronger and u can beet it.

ya the w58 wont last long on a turbo model if you are planning to mod for more power

[demon2supra]

thanks right now i dont have enought money to mod, so for now is to just get it running and on the road

[j3pz]

if your worring about getting it on the road and running, why not just use the auto untill you can get a r154 and other parts?

[demon2supra]

the auto costs 1350 to rebuild so i found it was cheaper to swap

[SideWinderGX]

you can get used ones for like 200 bucks in good condition.

that is, unless your making over 300 ish whp/tq, whereas you need a tranny cooler or a built tranny.

wow, so instead of just getting another working auto, you decide to risk putting in a tranny that is likely to fall apart under that torque? well your money

i wasn't able to find a good turbo automatic around me so i did the w58 this car really isn't getting floored right now anyway
