Congrats on all your work.
And I see ALOT of opinions and advice on "which way to go" with your build...
1JZ, 2JZGE..WTF? You're doing it right, dude. Get it running on the 7mge, and enjoy it! Then if you want to
upgrade to a 7mgte later, you can build one up while you have a running car. I wouldn't even initially bother with
the turbo tranny/ clutch/ driveshaft swap when you do, either. The W58 is a very nice, smooth(light!) ttransmission, that's been
proven to be good to over 300rwhp. Unless you're planning on a serious turbo motor, I wouldn't bother with the trouble or the expense.
Also when/if you go to an R154 tranny, you'll need to swap out either the differential or the speedo drive gear, so that your mph read right.
And you'll also have to swap out your tach, or open your existing one up and replace some of the resistors, when you go turbo. So I say keep it na for now,
and have fun with the thing.
And we ARE reading your build thread, so keep posting.
