So you stuck with the w-58? Mine also came with a LSD luckily but i wanna run somwhere around 400 horses and i know that tranny will not like that.

I f you plan on running 400hp you have to go with the r-154 tranny. The engine cost me 1,000 dollars. when i got my engine it came with a cut wiring harness, turbo,accordian hose,fan and intake manifold including the throttle body. jdm throttle body's are different in that no linkage is involved, instead your cable goes straight on the throttle body but you got to make some kind of bracket to hold the cable.Also very very important, when you get the jdm engine, change out the oil pressure sensor. Japan does not read psi, it's something else. I left my on and when I turned the key on engine off, my oil gauge rose up all the way up and then it came down. what it did was it broke my oil gauge. And for the na tranny w-58, no mod was made, the 7mgte will perfectlly mate the na tranny problem free.The length of time it took me to do the swap was about 3 month because I bought most of my stuff on ebay.

thank you for clearing that up
cuz im hurting with money already right now
knowing that i dont need to buy another tranny
gives me sum sort of relief

what about the ecu, did you get another one from a turbo?, and the afm?
what do those ones from a lexus looks like?
is it the same one found in turbo 7m's

To remove the intercooler, do I have to take off the front bumper, and is there anythign else i have to take off to get at it?

Thnaks.

I believe you have to use the turbo ecu, i am not sure if thelexus one will work.

Supra2NR · 08-02-2006, 01:53 AM

one more

any good resources,
im looking to buy a 7mgte engine around 600
the guy that i was suppose to buy the engine from got arrested
so i have no acces to him
he was a drag racer/ drug dealer type of person

and how much will be r134 tranny anyways?

I have been lookin around and its hard to find the r-154 trans but i found a couple and the least was like $350 (it was in bad shape) and the most was like $600.

I think the easiest way is to buy a donor car, you have everything you need.

suprra_girl · 08-02-2006, 06:05 AM

donor car

or

ecu
wiring harness
usdm throttle body
egr (if you have emissions in your state)
usdm oil pressure sender
turbo tacho, plug n play (look on ebay, for sale sections etc)
to make it easier get a wiring harness for your year (i.e. (86-88) yellow plug to yellow plug, or (89-89) (90-92) grey plug to grey plug) will be straight plug in then
ignitor
coils
pressure sensor
afm (7mgte)
use your box or auto trans
use your driveline

can't think of anything else
