i need new rear end gears... where do i go?

trust fmic rated to 600 hp

fabrication that i know of..

check out my thread, although im using an r154. you wont need many of the things listed because your car might be manual already and you have the mkivs oil pan.

rear end gears ? = differential? plenty of people out there that can make different differentials. cusco. kaaz. can use a torsen from the 1jz even. (im actually not sure what diff you would want to use with the v160 as there is plenty of debate and no real answer on the topic)

alot of people might be tired of answering these threads as there isnt a grip of people who are actually swapping in the 2jzgte especially the v160 since the fab costs are high unless you know someone or are doing it yourself.

if your power goals are high there is plenty of stuff you can buy.

are you also planning on doing the wiring yourself? or just a pnp to the AEM? take it somewhere? the wiring is a big item on my list heh.

the end result of your swap will be a sky high price because of the transmission alone. but if that isnt an issue go with it

already bought the tranny..
a shop is wiring it all in with the aem for me..

everyforum i post on people kind of ignore you when you ask for help making a part list lol

 

[tlo86]

hehe thats because i know ive done it several times i just decided to try and do everything by posting what i bought where i bought it and for roughly how much

if you have the money the swap will be pretty easy though im on a budget of $6,000

Keep track of every thing you buy and that way you have it for the next person. One of the mods may even make a sticky with it so all you'll have to do is post a link to your list and it will help the future 2jz installers out. Good luck with the install.

its a lot of work thats for sure or at least a lot of money... i'd personally go with a powerglide instead of the v160 hehe

Are you staying with the stock twin turbos? if not then add that to the list-

Good luck, I will be watching this

you WILL need a custom driveshaft for the v160, and the stock rear gears for the v160 are ~3.20. i have seen a v160 in a supra, but couldnt find the owner to ask him about the swap.

i will make a proper build thread sooner or later. just trying to gather all of the little pieces so that once the car goes down im not waiting on parts and paying for pointless shop time.

i will tell you though that this is a full out track car.

there is nothing behind the dash skin. no heatercore, no ac. no anything.
so this will be far from a daily driver swap. not even using any of the stock gauges.

i'll get some pics up one of these days, keep an eye out.

that should make everything a little easier in my opinion way to go
