v160
- Thread starter semerel
- Start date
waste of time? its known to handle 1200+whp while being drag raced, thats hardly a waste of time.

Sure. If you have 1200hp to put through it.
Otherwise, is one extra gear worth the 5grand to get one and put it into the mkIII chassis: regear the rear end, custom driveshaft, custom trans mount, screwing with the center console to make the new shifter location look reasonably nice... and then coughing up the money for a clutch to fit?
Sounds like alot of hassle if you aren't already outpacing the abilities of the R154.
It's a badass swap, no doubt... power to people who are doing it, it's a tough job. If it's worthwhile or not is questionable. Just gotta be sure the OP knows what he's getting into.
The V160/V161 6 speed getrag transmission costs way to much :aigo:
Toyota europe wants about 6000 euros for a new one...
I will consider on buying a used jdm V160 only when I go over 700 whp,
till then the Toyota R-154 trans does the job :icon_bigg

I don't think that the getrag is a good choise for drag racing...
You must go through more gears and that costs time :sarcasm:
But it is one of the strongest 6 gear trans ever...and which I think
is more useable in street racing,cause with enough power you can
pull hard in any gear till the readline.Dragster cars are doing better
times using auto transmissions....
Instead the R-154 5 speed trans has longer gears,not to mention
5th gear is way to long :aigo: I am talking for my car with 3.73 diff.gearing,
which is the longest rear gear for the A70 Supra...but it pays off when doing
110 mph and still having 3rd gear (with a 2jz at 6800 rpm redline).
When I go single with an aftermarket ecu with a redline set at 8000 rpms
with bigger wheels (285-35/18' rear tires) I should go easily over 120 mph
in the 3rd gear of the R-154 :sarcasm::biglaugh:

Not it's not. Turbo A cars had a 3.22.
There's been a couple threads about it on here already.
I'm trying to figure out if I should wait until I break my r154 or sell it while it's still good and go with the 6spd. I don't really want to but I'm going over the 800rwhp mark so.

The R154 is worthless with a 3.22 rear gear :aigo:
It will take a long time and more than 600 whp to pull hard in almost
any gear...
And as I know turbo A had 270 hp...:sarcasm:,and an unmodified R154
trans.
But if the trans is modified to shorter gearing maybe something possitive
could be obtained from the 3.22 rear LSD gearing :icon_bigg
it all depends on your goals, sub 700whp the r154 is fine, but above that I think investing in the 6spd maybe the way to go. I'm just not sure the r154 will handle the abuse that well.
