Yes it is the Chinese G55 and although works fine, it does not quite have the shifting quality of the toyota G55.

I have a lexus 6 speed coming, so once checking the ratios, I thought I'd give that a go. But if not the G55 will have to do.

Well, the 2jzvvt-i is out and I sold the 2jzgte vvt-i and purchased a 2jzgte, and it's about to go in.

Had the engine rebuilt as well as the turbo,s.

I am pissed off because I bought my son, who works for me, a 2.5 VW Transporter and it goes like a cut snake and whats more does 800ks to a tank of diesel. Why am I persisting with my Toyota?

The different factor is what i enjoy, but to a degree though ...

But also i would hope that you have spent no where near the cost of the VW on the hiace ..

What made you sell the GTE VVTI ?

[teamdrinkalot]

The GE VVTI was an absolute pain in the arse and I didn't want to have that pain with the GTE.

And how has the G55 handled it all , been thru any .
Again do you think you will use G55 behind the GTE .
I acctully bought a spare SBV box for my cruiser if ever i need one but ive had no probs at all with my current G55 .

The Chinese fake G55 went OK for the 80,000ks but I have been finding a little gear selection problems of late. I have purchased a genuine G55 for the GTE. Hope it goes alright, my son thinks it will all turn to custard.

If you dont abuse it and just drive it it should be ok , Id tend to avoid 2nd and 3rd flat to the floor.

[teamdrinkalot]

It's running, sort of.

[teamdrinkalot]

Going good now.

Now I know why they don't put high powered engines in work vans.

[teamdrinkalot]

Love to put a decent ratio gearbox in it as the standard one has a huge gap between 2nd and 3rd. Although I need the 4.3 - 1 first to get me the van, the trailer, and the race car of the mark.

Any ideas?

Top effort with the G55 G/box
They arnt the strongest of boxes and yet you are lugging 4 tons behind one with a motor that makes 400nm .
