and that just allows me to totally cut out boost? how does that help going faster? all i can see that doing is giving me a little bit better mpg lol.
wtf?:icon_conf 
:dunno: it lets you get past fuel cut. but its not the best way to do it. most boost = more power. you should really do some research before you start modding your car bro.

The auto tranny computer is behind the glove box beside the ECU. You will have to change your harness to do that swap I believe, since you gotta have the tranny computer. The guages have ect light on it for auto, the drive shaft is different, Not sure on the rest of it.

Automagic ftl. I bought a Supra to DRIVE, not to suggest where it point itself :3d_frown:
Manual advantages (just to be on the opposite end of SS
1) Direct mechanical connection between engine/transmission = Less parasitic drivetrain loss = more power to the wheels.
Lockup Converter
2) I can lose 2nd gear, and continue about my merry way
Ditto
3) Battery died due to radio blasting while working on your buddy's car? Push start it!
Jump it from your buddies car
4) $300 clutch job vs $1500 transmission replacement.
repeat twice a year it soon adds up
5) No cooling lines adding extra heat to your coolant system, or being a PITA when working with the radiator.
Do it right the first time and you don't need to work on the cooling system
6) NO LEAKY TRANSMISSION PAN.
see 5 no leaks here
7) Much more respect when you can run consistently, with a stick shift.
is that important?
8) No need for a 'shift kit' - if I want performance shifting, it's up to me. If I'm cruising and want the shifts to be buttery smooth, it's no problem. There is no 'compromise' with a manual transmission - you do as you want.
until you overshift and bend a fork or damage a syncro
9) R154 handles more power than the A340e, stock vs stock.
and shifts like a truck
And most importantly:
10) Though you may be able to put your hand on your girl's leg as you drive, it won't help you. She's still going to sleep with me, because even chicks know that MANUALS ARE COOLER THAN AUTOMAGICS.
In your opinion
10 reasons a stick is better than an auto. And two-step FTMFW.
so i just did alot of friggin reading..and...pretty much..the 2jz is the beefiest engine known to man in my opinion...i am very very very pleased i will be running one of these beasts!!!!
next transmission im going with is not going to be a 5speed. if i somehow magically manage to blow up my 2x r154s im going go to a th350. ill still be able to hit 140ish
even if i had a 2jz? i get lost in drive lines talk lol. ratios confuse the piss outta me haha. and is a getrag even worth it? cuz i have some tranny one the engine when i bought it, but its only 5spd, not 6...
a getrag is gonna cost you a few thousand atleast. if you really want to do a 2jz swap with getrag you better have atleast $12,000 to drop on this car. the 2jz is the beffiest engine know to man for sure, if you can afford it. you can always go with a 1jz, then later down go 1.5 jz, to make up for the displacement and torque. 1.5 jz is a 1jz head, and 2jz block.
ya, i read about the 1.5jz. but, im just gunna go twin 2j all the way. and im just curious if the getrag is worth the crazy cash. im not going nutty hp, but im gunna net about 450 or so. with the 5 spd work under that?
