[emoji106] awesome to hear! Then I'll just be sure to clean up the gte before putting it in. The ecu is gte and for a 5 spd. Might have my first turbo in a couple of weeks then.

W58 is fine until you top 500-600 hp IMO. The diff on your NA supra will probably be typical where you will have more acceleration but lower top end. (4.3 gears?)
You just rev higher at 60 mph than a typical diff on a turbo car. I'm not sure if the lsd is normal for NA's, mine had it.

You will want a GTE ECU but having ever done 7mge to GTE I will leave that to research and other comments. But your trans won't suffer being behind the turbo.

You will need a stronger clutch I believe though. From what I've read the stock W58 clutch will slip even at stock HP levels from the GTE. Not all N/A cars had an LSD, you got the LSD with the Sport Package, so if your car has/had TEMS then you have an LSD.

Make sure you use a gte afm

Thanks Silver MK3, I do have TEMs and have LSD forsure. My dad put in a heavy duty clutch a while back but idk what brand or what it's rated at. Is there a way to tell once I get it out?

I'll have to source that and looks like the CPS is broken on the GTE motor so I'll have to source that too.

I think they're just tinted regular lights arn't they? I could be wrong tho, someone else wants to chime in?

Well if they are tinted I am sure you can't get it done like OEM.

Try ebay, there's usually a set or two there, but they cost a pretty penney. I wish the pre89 trim would fit on them. If they did I would probably have a set of the JDM tailights by now.

Maybe when you pull it there is a part number or so on it that you could research to try and get some specs on it.

 

[Doat]

yea I saw some for like $250+$130 for shipping and in the pics they look a little scratched or marred

You might be able to buff some of that out. Unfortunately you won't be able to find a perfect set considering the newest ones will still be 22 years old at this point. I would keep looking, there are always new things popping up every so often there.

When making room for a bigger intercooler, is it ok to mount the stock oil cooler sideways? Looks like it was designed for the oil to enter at the top and exit at the bottom, but if I mount it sideways the lines will both either be at the top or the bottom.
Can I mount it sideways with both lines at the top?

Oh yeah, and what size hose do I get to extend the lines, 3/8"?

 

[Grandavi]

Don't know what sideways means...
I think the main concern is that you allow airflow through the fins or it's not very useful.

If you mean rotating it from 9-3 to 12-6 I don't think that would matter too much because the oil is pushed through, not gravity fed. (Just practical thinking, I can't see any issue with that)

Quick question
Is there any popular turbo i can take 57-60mm comp wheel from to do ct26 upgrade?

 

[Grandavi]

Ask Albert. I don't recall hearing anything about it.

 

[Doat]

so for bushings on our cars is the only option that we have are poly?

Or stock Toyota rubber ones.

 

[Grandavi]

I'm staying OEM.

 

[Doat]

but how can you get the OEM bushings? I haven't been able to get part numbers or anything. I want to order them online since it's usually cheaper than going to my dealer.

 

[Grandavi]

I'm not sure... Im replacing the control arms and the bushings come with them

 

[Doat]

yea I have the front control arms just haven't installed them yet I cannot for the life of me find the rear upper control arms.
