Gearbox for 3s Beams Turbo

[old_school_jap1]

Bazzery, Beerhead's comments were not directed at you but at the post above yours where R series gearboxes were being discussed. If you have a bellhousing from a Y engined Hilux or an SA63 Celica then the W series gearbox conversion is relatively simple. I believe you can use the clutch and flywheel that the 6 speed used with the W box

Drifting is harsh on things but remember the tyres are turning not trying to keep maximum grip!

Drifting breaks stuff from the shock loading on the boxes from clutch kicking etc generally not continous torque loading.

Forgot about this thread. But in the time between then & now I also learned about the R-154 input being too long as Beerhead states. And for it to be compatible you either need to machine the input or use a spacer, when using the 3vz/5vz bellhousing to mate a r154 to the 3s.



Bazzery,

All your 'left' side engine clearance issues would go away if you were using a Y-series engine bellhousing, instead of a 2S. Although it may run into new problems with the steering shaft on the right.
