E58 transmission questions !!, need all your input Options

[Culpable04]

I have sourced an E58 LSD transmission, I have the axels sourced along with flywheel, starter, clutch.


since is a E series transmission I'm assuming ST205 mounts should work , at least the rear, along with shifter cables. I know is not a popular transmission on the 6th gen but I'm sure some of you have valuable input on this.

my biggest concern are the mounts compatibility, if you have any other ideas as far as mounts please post, I'll be getting a complete set of ST205 mounts and a AT200 manual tranny mounts and hopefully I'll get something to work and don't have to go cu$tom

whats it out of stevenson?
i would naturally say 205 bits should work, but as with all new things, you never know for sure till its on its way in! lol

what do you have up your sleeve, dude??? hehe

I know is a new path for the 6th gen, in theory these parts " should " work so I'm just hoping.

as far as my plans, I'm going with a 4agze engine, supercharger removed and turbo install in place, using an E58 tranny, I decided this path, because of different reasons.

parts are available almost anywhere, same series A engine, and I always love the size 1.6 L and it suits my power needs, I'll be happy with anything over 200 HP.

so far I have a TRD .8 mm head gasket, AEM tru time adjustable cam gears, T25 turbo front a JDM silvia, turbo exhaust manifold, I have to order a NA intake manifold, AEM wideband, and other parts I've been collecting for a little while.

the TRD head gasket will increase compression to ~9.3.1 which will be good for off boost driving, I'm hesitant about getting cams with 256 duration, I know is not too aggressive but I'm building this for daily driving, if any one has input of how the 4agze feels with 256 cams let me know, I don't want it to be run too rough.


Manny you still have to paint my car, so you'll be among the first one to see it after is done, God knows I won't post pictures of it without your magic touch. which will be done as soon as I finish with this, I decided to paint it after because since I'm not an expert I can scratch or bump things up during installation and scratch it, and that would $*ck. lol

There's a few people who have kept the E-series tranny with their 4AGZE swaps, I'm not sure what mounts they used though.

I have the ST205 rear bracket in stock by the way, if you want to try it.

is a popular swap on MK I MR2s but the MR2 supercharged USDM comes with an E51 so they use the stock USDM mounts.

Thanks for the offer on the ST205 mount, I'll contact you for my wiring and let you know if I'll need that mount, there are ST205 mounts already on the way but if there may be a problem I'll let you know and take you up on that offer.
