j_jza80 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 If you can find a way of supplying cheap manual conversions with them, I reckon you're onto a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkpower Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Indeed. With a manual conversion this would be awesome. How well does the W58 box handle the stock 1UZ-FE power and torque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be fine if the engine is left relatively standard. W58 boxes seem to be able to take BPU TT Supras ok. I can get a bell housing conversion from the US, just adds quite a bit to the cost as you need a clutch as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Mac Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Paul, do things like PPS, active front spoiler, rev counter etc still work correctly after you've done the conversion, or does something have to be sacrificed? This conversion plus a TT kit is what I've been looking into for over a year now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, it would be a custom fit job charged by the hour. Best off having a look on eBay for the engine and box or a donor car. If its not out of a soarer it will need a Soarer sump and engine mounts. The exhaust needs shortening slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
