i bought it from Jay.. a member here with a 2jz single turbo.
I dont know who built it but it was from new jersey. Shop was called Gettrac or something. I need to get more info on it from him

Claims to hold 1300hp so i would say good to 700-800hp?

A built 4spd or the 5spd? do you know if they build 5spds?

mikal

it's a 4speed. I have a VVTI GTE

have you tried contacting Boostlogic or Sound Performance?

twojayzee

Your talking about a TH400 right ?

mikal

nah, it's just a Built Aristo Tranny.

I'll get more info on it soon.

twojayzee

Not to rain on your parade, but its a well known fact that even fully built toyota trannys will only hold under 600 hp

mikal

I dont know what I have done to you. But yes I know it's not gonna hold the full HP claimed. Thats why i estimated it to be 700-800. Sorry that i'm a little off but do you have anything to show that it will only hold under 600?

Sorry that i dont have much info on who built it.. because it came with my swap. BUt I was told it was a mix of chevy/supra/aristo tranny parts.

twojayzee

You didnt do anything to me. Im not trying to be a ****. Im just on supraforums all the time and keep reading about the all the companies who manufacturer built toyota trannys that always frag the 2nd gear sprauge. Herse a link to a thread I started http://supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=366956
Belive me when I say I with they did hold that much. I'm building a singled aristo motor right now and im debating on a th400, 4l80e, or V160 because I dont want to baby the toyota tranny. Let me know what you think after you read thru the link a little.

mikal

thanks for the link. i'll read it in a bit.

listen to this guy. Go to supraforums if you ever need anything performance-related with a 2jz.

mikal: i'm contacting larry to see if the 5spd could be built...i'm pretty sure people thought about it but I can't seem to find any info on it.

mikal

yea, i browse supraforum and mkivsupra.net (plenty of vvti GTE there) all the time.

which 5speed are you talking about?

mikal

Alot of good info about the tranny. But i think a built toyota tranny is good for an everyday street car. I dont think i'll ever pass 550-600 hp so i'm okay.

But one question though.. are the VVTI Gte tranny from the mk2 aristo any different than the regular supra gte tranny?

twojayzee

Thats cool, Im sure it will work fine. Im just leary when a builder makes up a crazy number like 1300 hp. The VVTI gte tranny has different gear ratios IIRC.

Okay, Im not trying to throw things off topic so please dont flame me. I have searched. This seems to be one of the best threads on this topic (2jz-gte Conversion), so I figure I should just keep all the info contained in one thread. I was going to go na-t but finding out the stock trany sucks I started looking into an aristo swap. In my opinion it is a better value to do a aristo swap motor w/ trany. The only thing keeping me from doing the swap is I must have the OBD hook up functioning to pass emissions. From what I understand the aristo ECU WILL NOT interface with the OBD port. I just want to confirm this. If so I will just build up the GE slowly. Thanks in advance.
