once i took the leap and cut the housing and started to tack it, things looked up. the shifter extension was the easy piece and my friend and I fab this up ourselves. used my old cross member and bought a new W58 tranny mount and it lined up almost perfect, i tighten it down just right so i didnt have to modify the holes. more pics to come later on today with hopefully the completion to this swap!

so i got my housing problem figured out along with the linkage and got the tranny in most of the way... just gotta do the smaller stuff today and hopefully get a call that my drive shaft is done! enjoy the pics

Toyota is not selling these parts anymore and the housing came up 4 inches short, maybe with a radical shifter it would work but i have the MKIII shifter which is almost straight only with a slight swan neck bend

so i didn't realize i had to cut up and extend the housing myself but its all good now. so the bell housing came in from Toyota Japan and i got it mock up for my drive shaft then got my new goodies from Toyota America and so it was time to get going and i miss driving it badly... didn't take long to get the bell housing on but getting the throw out bearing and release hub on the clutch by myself with basic tools and no vice was challenging lol but thats where i stand. the tranny is mock up again (like the 5th time) and the shifter housing has been measured and will be getting that built sometime this week with my buddy and should be getting my drive shaft in the next few days.

update pics

so here we go. starting another chapter in my never ending build. got The R154 and most swap parts, waiting on bell housing and one piece drive shaft here are the pics

so i just finalized a deal with a local shop and some friends for a R154 Tranny! so pumped now since i can turn the boost up a little more once she is swapped AGAIN! i will post pics when this happens... i had to order swap parts such as bell housing and the shifter stuff which i ordered straight from Japan through my work!

such as?

its called wrinkle paint and its sweet

well a lot has happened and my membership expired but i got it back and yea take a look! here are the pics!

my goal is to be different. over here in the stated the VVTi is very different and i dont like the flashy chrome everything look and wanted a more creative look

yea its wrinkle paint

painted the TB and got my harnes

teaser pic of my painted cover, i was thinking about painting the leaders red, what do you think?

pics of coils and MAF? very interested

got a lil more done and painted a few parts, here are the pics

i am looking for VVTi GTE vacuum diagram... also was wondering about these little vacuum sensor things that i have all over the motor, some of mine are broke but i have a ton on my NA motor, will those work? also looking for he part number to the crank pulley and MAF... also was wondering the cam lift for both intake and exhaust (if they are different)

indeed it will

yea and their like the perfect size to store parts in... i had like 20 of them full of bolts and parts when i took apart the motor... it was crazy

hell yea!

yea i do y? thanks for the info man! i will be looking into this a lot...

tell me more about that ECU... never heard of that before and thats a great increase by just tuning VVTi on... and i wonder why people think it useless...
