Thanks for your replies. I have thought about trying the sponge method I've read about but just seems a bit of a crude fix! I will go with fitting a large breather system and tank and see how I go first before committing to the sponge!

I'm getting a little stuck for ideas with the issue I've been having so hoping someone can help. I know my box isn't the usual mkiv Supra box but hoping someone more mechanically minded than myself can tell me if my idea to solve my issue could work or not. It seems that the gearbox is pressurising at high rpms and blows oil up through the shifter hole. My R154 box is from a Mk3 Supra turbo. I have since read that this is a very common issue with this type of box but I can't find a real solution on the internet. I am thinking to fit an expansion tank (the type with a small k&n style filter on top) to the bulkhead in the engine bay and run a breather from the shifter extension housing and one from the fill plug on the side of the box up to the bottom of the tank- so in theory- when the box pressurises slightly when accelerating the oil can pass up the breather hoses to the expansion tank instead of pressurising the seals. My plan to connect the breathers to the bottom of the tank is so when I stop accelerating hard the oil should drain back from the tank and back into the box. Has anyone ever had or heard of a similar issue? Any help with this would really be appreciated!

Just realised I'm in the wrong section! I will re-post in the wanted section! Thanks

I'm trying to get hold of a connector plug and part of the wiring loom that connects to the 2JZGTE (not vvti) ecu if anyone has any ideas or can help! I have a picture of the port on the ecu showing which connector plug and part of the wiring I need (outlined with a red box in picture 1) Picture 1: Picture 2: The engine I have is from a Toyota Aristo, and the standalone engine management I am using connects to factory 2JZGTE plugs so I think the connector plug and wiring I need should be identical to that found on a 2JZGTE Supra. I would really appreciate it if someone can help with this! Thanks!

Cheers for your help!

Thanks for all your help! Yes I live in Wigan. I won't be running TRC- I will be running full stand alone management anyway after I have run the engine in! I like the idea of chopping the whole assembly off like Wez has, was yours from an Aristo? There is a flap inside and am I right thinking I can remove this too? Sorry I know my replies aren't very technical I'm no mechanic!

I know it looks different to that on a Supra, do you think I will be fine simply unbolting it from the side and fitting a custom made plate and gasket to make a cover where the sensor was?

My 2JZGTE RX7 is 90% finished, just trying to sort out any little last problems now! Having a few problems getting my carbon bonnet to clear a sensor on the side of the standard throttle body. Does anyone know what this sensor is and is it possible to just unbolt it and fit a blanking plate or not? I was thinking it has something to do with traction control but I really don't know! It is the sensor part to the side with the grease on top in the photo: See the fullsize version at: http://s1295.photobucket.com/albums/b640/rwdwiganer/?action=view¤t=9DCE2BF1-8338-4BCA-AF25-1B6111122D15-14301-00000E69E7B4EEC3_zps3b8af336.jpg&evt=user_media_share My engine was from an Aristo

Thanks Nic, that is good to know :-) I just can't wait to get it up and running now! I will get pictures up as soon as the real work starts!

I know 3" would probably be fine but surely if the price is pretty much the same, the larger downpipe would create less back pressure and more power? I don't want a 3" system but I am still undecided if to go 4" or 3.5" downpipe- I have pretty much made my mind up I will be going 3.5" system though. After seeing how well Nic's old Supra from on here with the 4" downpipe made power at only 1.3 bar I was thinking of doing something very similar with mine- but with standard cams and slightly more boost.

I have decided to get a full turbo back exhaust system made up but can't decide if to go 3.5" downpipe and system or would it be any benefit going 4" downpipe down to 3.5" back or will it really make bugger all difference under 600bhp? I don't want a full 4" turbo back system as I know it is complete overkill and don't want to be stuck on every speed bump as my FD is quite low! I keep getting mixed opinions on this! The turbo I ended up buying is a GT3582r with 0.82a/r T4 exhaust housing...

Thanks for your reply! The pictures are hopefully of a mid/rear sump set up (as found on Supra) as long as I have the correct parts. A mid or rear sump set up is the same thing, just some people call them rear sump and others mid sump. It is the front sump that is different and is the set up I swapped for this

Can anybody help me out with this one who has had a rear sump supra 2JZGTE appart? I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know if the parts I have including oil pick up at least look to be the correct bits!

I bought an SPA cast manifold from USA- the same one Frederic Aasbo has fitted to his GT86 2JZ drift car. The runners are larger than the Treadstone cast manifold, but it did cost a little bit more- worked out at £350 delivered + tax. I would be willing to sell that for a good enough offer as I ended up fitting a Sinco Customs steel tubular and so never even fitted the SPA manifold!

Thanks, I was pretty sure the pan and upper sump part I now have are correct, it is the other parts and dipstick that I am still unsure of! Hopefully someone that has done this swap before or knows the 2JZ inside out will be able to put my mind at rest!
