MattP Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 If that was true, I'd be selling both my boxes and heading straight down to whifbitz for a DCT swap Noooooooo get a Titan built box you dont want any of that DCT crap...

MattP Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Sorry manual 6 speed at that price but ours are rare The last Tip box I know of was sold for £100 on my own god damn doorstep I missed it (about a year ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bullitt Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Looking at toyodiy internally the boxes appear the same, apart from the valve body so in theory the IPT rebuild kit that contains the Raybestos plates and upgraded billet parts from ATF *should* fit. It's the way I will be looking to go when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the way I will be looking to go when the time comes. I take it the individual components don't have part numbers? There are two extra solenoids in the tiptronic boxes IIRC, so presumably there are a few additional small differences. I doubt there'sany difference in the gears themselves etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 4x Accumulator Pistons (B-0, B-2, C-0 & C-2) and 3x Solenoids (Line Pressure, Lock Up & Shift) I think this is where the mix up. I'm just double checking now There are different part numbers at the crossover point auto to tiptronic. E2A Matt's photo above appears to confirm this.

Pudsey Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Can i gain access to the club http://www.2jzgarage.com/2012/02/2jzgte-vvti-information/ Some good information here on the vvti variation. Some pictures here. http://www.2jzgarage.com/2013/04/vvti-pictures My understanding is the A340-E is unique to the vvti tiptronic supra, and is different internally to any of the other auto boxes. I read something about it somewhere only a few evenings ago. Edited March 2, 2016 by Pudsey (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudsey Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Excellent some great leg work thats already been done then. I seem to remember reading the box has extra 'plates' in it. This is a good source of information too. http://www.kaizenmotorsports.com/blogs/news/16740952-the-1jz-2jz-gte-vvti-system Lots of sections within it.

Nic, do you know of any mechanic manuals for the tiptronic box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Nic, do you know of any mechanic manuals for the tiptronic box? No sorry I don't. Did the US spec get tiptronic or just the j-spec? If it was just the j-spec Supra then it'll probably not be available in English. The A340E was used on a lot of Toyota models, I don't know if any of these were tiptronic, if they were then perhaps hunting down a manual for one of these models would help.

Pete Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 You can tell the Tipto people, they are surrounded by hundreds of wiring diagrams that are incorrect and racking up huge phone bills trying to find someone who understands how they work They also never drive fast in case it drops into first at 130. They have tried all 569 ways of wiring up HKS gizmos, but see only magic smoke or warning lights Basically, they look stressed. Sounds accurate. Yes. +1 Tip.

fastcar Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 The lexus IS300 has the triptronic box with a 2JZGE engine if that helps! Sure the manuals are available for it. On another note has anyone figured out how to stop the triptronic box kicking down Into low gears when driving at +110?

Only asking as thinking of getting an Arsito VVTI Triptronic I think so but it isn't cheap and is still work in progress, fit a Syvecs S6+ standalone which will control the engine & box.
