The mines ECU will be found under the cover in the passenger footwell. As for the BL box, they will have used the old casing so you wont be able to tell the difference visually. However, the way it changes etc is very different so anyone who is close to you and has experience of a standard auto will be able to confirm.

 

Can I ask what other mods were done? It is unusual to fit a BL box without considerably upping the power with things like a single turbo etc. Where did you buy the car from?

 

Please dont say GT Cars :(

:blink: :blink: good god 3 grand. If you've got this mr munky, what a deal.

Welcome btw.

 

It seems incredible that someone would go to huge expense of putting a drag style gearbox onto a car that has not been modded extensively. It also seems very strange that they would not say that in the advert.

 

If it was me, I would take the car along to a Supra specialist and get it looked at for them to confirm exactly what the gearbox is.

 

Did you buy it from a trader or a private seller? Was it someone on the forum?

It does seem too good to be true. Hope it works out for the man though.

Looks like it has the standard shifter, and the TH400 would have a different shifter I would assume, as CJ said, before spending that much money on a drag style TH400, you would really do a lot more to the engine, unless it was the beginning of a project perhaps.

 

 

Unless it has had the BL upgrade on a recon, which is possible if the autobox was going, I know I would get it rebuilt and strengthened if mine went pop.
