5 speed to a 6 speed

[supraman623]

I have a N/A 95 supra so it has the 5 speed tranny. i plan on re building the entire car from the ground up so i will be replacing the entire motore with the 2jzgte and the 6 speed tranny with it. i am wondering how hard it is to make everything work in my car with that tranny ect shift linkage and such?

The tranny swap will be a piece of cake. However, the engine swap will require far more than just the engine - for starters, you'll need a 2jz-gte primary wiring harness, a 2jz-gte ecu, an ignitor and a resistor pack - there's much more to it than motor-only.

What will you be doing for brakes and diff? You can't reliably stop a TT powered chassis with n/a brakes. Also, the n/a diff is much weaker than the TT diff.

i plan on rebuilding the car from the ground up. probably going to go with the diff from a tt supra and the breaks with be project mu. for everything with the motor i have a friend with a 2jz-gte motor with all the goodies with it. i have heard the engine in a tt sits like and inch and a half higher becasue of the intercooler. is this true?

Although bigger calipers will help, note that the ABS ecu and ABS control system in the TT has significantly more features than the n/a ABS system (especially for roadracing applications).

What are goodies?

Not true. The intercooler is by the bumper (not in the engine bay).

ya i definitly see what you are saying about the brakes. as for the motor my friend took the motor out of a tt supra that was had been totald but all of the engine components and engine itself was saved. including the ecu and wiring harness.
so the motor mounts in the tt and the n/a are the same and i wont have any trouble with putting the motor itself in?

Correct. In fact, the 2jz-gte and 2jz-ge blocks are identical other than the internal oil-squirters.
