I'm glad you found those dyno charts and thanks for posting them. I would REALLY like to see some dyno charts from some of these turbo engines...
Have you had a chance to talk with Marlin about any of the issues that you and I have discussed on this thread?
Questions about the R-transmissions:
What about adapting the R-family transmissions to the 3RZ? How big of a project/problem would that be? Is there any way to do it without a custom bell-housing? Even if we do need a custom bellhousing, what is a better alternative? Maybe we could just machine an existing race-spec bellhousing. I've got an extra 3RZ/5spd that we could start taking measurements from if you guys could help me out with the R-tranny numbers. How about it?
Can Marlin make a hybrid R-series Tacoma/Supra tranny to improve the strength, gearing and shifting performance?
We have another V6/5spd Tacoma with about 80k miles on it that is sometimes very hard to shift into 1st and Reverse. This seems like a common problem, but we had another 3.0L V6/5spd 4Runner that never had any shifting issues. Is something wrong with our transmission or is this just a characteristic of the R-series transmissions? If a Supra hybrid transmission is possible, would it improve the notchy feel of the shifting (through all gears). I would hope so, but I know that the old Celica All-Tracs had similar shifting problems with 1st and reverse.
Thanks-
