Guest chris_shirl Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Is it possible to have a 5 speed Gearbox in a Supra TT? We have been ripped off we think, Big style.. Purchased Supra TT with mods with a estimated 180mph.. But no way will it do that in 5 gears..... Any suggestions what we should do if a 5 speed box is wank? We assume the car is a TT though as can hear turbos kick in and has boost control etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 All TT's were 6 speed. Post a pic of the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 It is possible to fit the 5spd box to a TT engine, I had considered doing this, but just never found a 5spd box in time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 the questions is is the car an rz tt with 5 speed box or a sz with tt lump. i have seen loads of sz with 5 speed boxes in jp and tt engines in:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chris_shirl Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 just checked VIN number details says its a SZ natrually aspirated, 5 speed. Can send pix not a full member of site yet will join later... if u send email addy can send pix Does this mean we have bought a turkey.. is it worth less? private sale quoted it would do 180mph highly doubt it considering its at 4000RPM doing 180KMPH. any suggestions as annoyed to say the least...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 we need a pic of the engine bay mate and how much you paid, without pix it hard to tell you what you got. It wont do a 180mph, 155mph for the none turbo on the 5 speed box is normal top speed. if you want send pics to me at jshipperley99(at)aol(dot)com and ill post them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bondango Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 could be 2JZGTE engine with an R154 5 speed conversion??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 ... it's at 4000RPM doing 180KMPH... Presumably because it's still got the N/A differential. Higher ratio diff would fix that. On the other hand, you could just enjoy the acceleration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 There used to be a silver t71 car at dudes that had a 5 speed in, emanage blue, 800 PE injectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 No wonder it wont go into 6th, does it have a 6 -speed gearknob then or do supes not have the numbers on the knob leather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike101 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Was the guy you bought it from living in Devon? White, aftermarket bodykit with unusual rear wing? Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 They do have numbers. But I am only a 5 speed na. ahhhhh!!!.........just twigged why manual TTs have a collar lift to get into reverse. haha, always wondered why that was. doh!

Mike M Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Does the engine have a big alloy intake mounted over the top of the block? If it does then its an NA. Just to the left between the block and the suspension mount would be where to find the big tubby if converted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I want to see the pictures on this one, and the price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Right guys, Chris has just emailed me the pics and it is definitely a TT engine. It sounds like it has had the engine transplanted in and they have left the 5 speed box in place. Ideally now we could do with some pics of the gearbox to see which box it is. I didn't see any point in posting up the pic as we've all seen a TT engine before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bondango Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Any pics of the selector mounting?? only 2 it can be possibly be (unless they've went really custom) are W58 or R154 (using 1JZGTE bell housing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 dependng on what you paid if you paid SZ price id be happy, a 5 speed tt car would be very quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there was only a pic of the engine but my money is on the SZ box still being in place. I think Chris is extremely pissed off at this situation. He paid good if not over the top money for what he thought was a true TT. A shame as its a lovely looking supra too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
