Manual tranny came from Supra TT with Exedy Stage 2 clutch/discs. Let me take interior prics. B/c it's a "Mess" right now.... ... but you can see how they're converting ! They took not only the center console but the dash out as well. In addition, "pedal" e-brake had been moved to "hand" e-brake using SC300 E-brake parts.

Hmm.... I see what you mean, but I'm not too sure if that Camry console will work, due to its height and its total length. Either ways, it's alot of work plus, get rid of the "Automatic" shift section, so....

This is what happen when you don't have re-built custom tranny. I'm posing y last year's DYNO slip... as you can see, it went up to 435hp then DROPPED !!!! I literally killed that soarer stage 2 tranny !!! (not stock tranny but not fully built one either)

Thanks

Probably not a "street legal" car, but ......

My silver 98 GS and this one, that's all.

Off topic, sorry.
you need to strip the drift car out (interior) and do body welds all over, saves you doing a roll cage and stiffens the car up a bunch. on stock suspension it's sposed to feel as stuff as coilovers that are turned up when the welds are performed right. I can provide some more info just pm me

stock tranny will hold 500+horses....... but dont even think of pushing it

and as for gs turbo kits theres tons off them its just a 2jz-ge..... there all over but if u want a true powerplant turbo go ball bearing turbo's....

NEXT PROJECT FOR ME a full 2jz-gte with twin t76 or t88.... i want 1300+horses

LOL.. what good would 2 t88s do? wouldnt spool till 6000 rpm..if that

1300 hp is nice...but.. not practical at all. If you really want it, Matt Scranton of Scranton Bros Racing, has a Supra that was at NOPI.. posted a dyno sheet of 1287.5rwhp and 9xx something torque. Spooled just before 6000 RPM but that bad boy spun up til almost 10k. Using a Garrett GT47R (6.5" intake on the compressor!!)

LOL. The t76 will definitely get the job done. Be sure to fortify the rest of the drivetrain too.

I'm only looking for 450rwhp conservatively tuned for drift, the turbos I have will do 700 together, but why push it. I'm already smoking the hides with the gte bottom end and no turbos to the tune of 174rwhp so the extra power will just make things easier.

good luck in the hp quest.

Looks like you are pretty close to your distributor for your intake piping? How close are you, and what about your ABS unit? Both of those are really in the way of single.
