Re: Gearbox with top gear of 0.7 ish???

Ok now I see why, ie using the 5.71's. Here's what would be involved; R154. Find and purchase a R154 (Usually around $1500) Locate/purchase a R150/151 output shaft and have it swapped into R154 ($$$$- ?) Mod or have a bell made ($$$$ - ?) All too costly and should you ever screw the R154 you will ...

Re: Gearbox with top gear of 0.7 ish???

" If you go with a dyna box you have to consider the transfer case " No, all he needs is the overdrive gears out of it to fit into a R150/151 as he wants a 30% overdrive and that's how he can get it. Rob You will be looking at some coin to do all this so are you sure your rig will "pull" a 30 ...

Re: Gearbox with top gear of 0.7 ish???

Ok the R154 will not fit behind a 2.8 unless you mod the bell, fab a spacer or have one cast. However, you could do research on the later Prado and Hilux's that used the R series and their bellhousings as I understand they used a longer input shaft R series, but how much longer than the older R ...

Re: Gearbox with top gear of 0.7 ish???

What engine is this for ? Be aware the R154 has a 30mm longer input shaft than the R150/151's so it will not be a straight bolt up without a spacer or modified bellhousing, depending on your engine. If you can locate a R452 trans from a Dyna truck its overdrive gear is a straight swap into a R150 ...

Re: 4y-e auto to 3y

It will, but the auto requires several specific sensors and also an ecu. Even though you will have these in your spare 4Runner etc don't even try this swap into the 3Y rig as believe me the necessary electrics are a nightmare.

Re: FZJ105 GTX35R 700hp Turbo Build

I'd say its KW meaning 512rwhp as that torque number couldn't be ft lbs ubless you can have either showing. If thats the case then maybe they mean FWHP. But why are there no rpm's indicated and the speed seems very low for the rpms required to churn out 512rwhp so it all seems a bit odd to me. I can ...

NO :D

A 5.0 efi engine uses a 50oz balance flywheel whereas the early 302/351W and 351C use a 28oz balance.

The 351C also uses a 164 tooth flywheel and the 5.0 is 157 tooth so depending on your bell the starter could also be an issue.

Sounds like it as the only 4Runner with an R series box is the V6, all others are G52 so unless you brought a V6 box or bellhousing then you have the wrong one :D

Surf turbo diesels also have the R series in either R150 or R151 configuration, ie different 1st gear ratios.
