...if he asks for YOUR vin, it doesn't have anything to do with the engine, that has to do with a code unique to your car.

All the vehicles now have vvti... What about that one that they sent you that was supposed to be good, why doesn't it fit? I'm thinking of changing the timing belt, maybe the water pump, maybe cam gears... I don't know what else or how much that would cost...

wow this is going to add up...
Timing belt (HKS) probably about $200 Tensioner: ? Water pump: probably another $150 Thermostat: $20 ok I'm too lazy to do the rest I'll just compile prices when I get the actual prices and part numbers. Guess what I got today though? here's a clue 81130-20050, 81170-20050... I really am getting too exited but this car is almost done! I'm going to find all these maintenance parts and post part numbers and prices that I got. Maybe this will help the other two members doing the swap so we can compare prices... |

I still might be able to get a lower price njccmd, though you can also blame the strong NZ vs US dollar. -------------------- |

Yeah u can most likely use the LSD from the Beams tranny and it will fit in the USDM s54 but that is not confirmed. What is confirmed is that you can drop in the LSD from an 02+ MR2 Spyder into the S54 and its a direct fit, "Urbandork" did it. I was going to do it but a new LSD is 1500 from toyota or if u can find a used mr2 tranny its about $900 average... |

If you want to try from local dealership since you already have your engine... if not, as soon as I get mine, I'll order them and test them out...I don't even know what year my engine is but I assume that all red top beams are the same |
