well i've started what most people dont have time for. I'm in the middle of building my 5sgte and Rwd conversion,
I have a couple pictures to start with. If you have any question, just ask.   I'm using a 88 toyota truck rear end 2wd. This rear end is harder to find, because it uses the 8 inch center section. And that comes with 30 spline axles. I'm not using the third member. I went with a toyota v-6 4x4 3rd member, that will allow you to buy a supra lsd that will bolt into the v-6 housing. I'm going to be using the stock v-6 gears that comes with 4.10 gears, It may be a little high, but i'll run those for a little bit. Also when i have the lsd out, i'm install a WEIR MAXGRIP LSD Kits It increases the locking force of the clutches. So i'll be posting pictures as i go.

I'll be using a 1990 ford mustang rack and pinion, because, they use front steering racks.

QUOTE (cheela @ Apr 16, 2014 - 10:28 PM)  subscribed! I'm using a 1990 Toyota pickup 5speed v-6. All the bolts line up but 1. So I had 1 bolt hole relocated and welded into place while it was bolted to the block. |

R154 was in the Supra Turbo, W58 was in the non turbo Supra. If I had to take a guess W58.

Nice. A 5sgte that's something uncommon and especially a rwd conversion. This is going to be unique build.

W58 requires a 2s bell housing to mount to the 5s/3s block?
Would love to know exactly what is being used. I'm interested in this ordeal This post has been edited by playr158: Apr 17, 2014 - 8:14 AM |

this is finally happening. RWD conversion... YAY
like to see pics of the mounting of the rear axle. SweeT.. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |

The transmission is very close to a r154. The transmission is a r150. still just a strong as the supra transmission. It just has different gearing.
I'll be getting some pictures of the rear end suspension set up soon, I used most of a toyota previa van rear suspension. This post has been edited by toy8490: Apr 17, 2014 - 9:44 AM |

If you're going through all that effort, why stick with the 4-Cyl,. my future RWD project is hoping to be a Straight Six, or a full V8, not that I won't be watching like crazy to see how yours turns out!
Keep the pics coming, I'm super excited to see this. |
