Kev95RR, to answer your question, I would go with the tt swap over the V160 swap. But just realize that the 5speed is not going to last long at BPU level.

Yup that'd be me! been going there for over a year now. I havent come across any other supras yet its depressing lol
Yea i guess going turbo sounds like the way to go. I want to make sure its the right thing to do first. Ive heard of a couple different set ups producing 400-500hp on a 5spd. Some say it handles it fine, then some say theyve been through a couple. Then agan maybe it has to do with how the person drives it? or just a lucky tranny? Just gonna have to take it easy on the W58, then eventually running V160. Appreciate the feedback guys.

wow very nice. makes me feel better lol. saw your running a ACT extreme clutch and pressure plate how does it feel on the foot? I was thinking going towards ACT between the GTE and 5spd you think that would be the best route? Really dont plan on going much above 400 on 93.
Sorry Kevin.........I'm on the R154 and you have the 258. I forgot about that. The 154 is definately stronger than the w58 and the 58 is definately smoother than the 154. You can buy 154's for about three hundred dollars where a v160 will cost you about twenty five hundred. Good luck either way and try to make it out to steele on sunday of the third. We'll be in trussville the second dynoing.
Me and Racerxj220 will be there sunday at the track...unsure about the dyno at the moment...we should be in the civic and the supra 
Does anybody have a running supra turbo near Madison? I need an example to go by for hose and line routing.
How about pictures of my motor that I just pulled with everything in place....out of the car where you can see it. I'm not sure when I can post them, but sometime over the weekend. It'd probably be tomorrow or Sunday.

I'm in the Mobile area. The accordian is pretty simple. The AFM goes on one end, with the connector facing inward toward the block. Then it connects to the turbo. Then, you have the three PVC hoses, and they should be pre-formed. One comes off the BOV and goes to one of the forward holes. The other front one goes to the PVC pipe in front of the 3000 pipe. The one furthest from the turbo connects to the PVC pipe closer to the AFM. Then there is a little vacuuum tube on the bottom. A vacuum hose runs fron there to a little fitting on the back of the power steering pump below. Hook it on the post that is closest to the fender.

Unfortunately, the engine I bought was CUT out of a car. The stock blowoff valve and PCV hoses are gone completely.
By the way, I have a W58 transmission and driveshaft for sale. $300 for the tranny and $50 for the driveshaft. If anybody in the area is interested, let me know.
It's May and no one wants to call it? We need to have a supra meet????
Here is an offer... Someone team with me and we can collaborate? That way if it is a success by in large, we can share the kudos. No idea is a bad idea.
Anybody?
Crickets?
The Alabama group "on this thread" is 3x the size as last year so a decent meet / turnout should be a peice of cake.

Where is Madison? If you came here (Mobile county), I have a BOV and enough PCV piping I could give you and a friend 1 of each and still have 3 times as many as I need.
^^^ am pretty sure its south huntsville. as many supra as i've been seeing around the huntsville area. we should have a meet here.
