its getting this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1uz-1uzfe-toyota-Bellhousing-R150-R151-R154-gearbox-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem4155cfa783QQitemZ280612546435QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

will bolt it to sock r151 trans and t-case for now till i can get one built.
itll run a mega squirt 2 ecu, going to do a full ignition setup probably msd. engine mounts will be custom along with headers. their wont be any work done to the engine, the import version has plunty of power plus i want it to be reliable unlike the 22re that makes up its own mind on when and how it wants to run.

so for now just stock piling. as you can see the flywheel clutch bellhousing is quiet expensive!!!! so probably a few months

GJToyotabug · March 23, 2011, 07:38:33 PM

JD is still up and running its the other one, i cant remember the name.

ok update! I've been stock piling!
first off bell housing!

Im very happy with the quality! much better than the stupid adapter plate crap.

Got bored so i found the paint scheme for the engine

other than that ive been busy taking care of myself and keeping the 22re running till i can get the rest.

What? Nothing about your broken motor mount?

GJToyotabug · March 23, 2011, 09:57:00 PM

OH YEAH!!!!!! soo el toddo (KDXSR5) came on through town and i thought I'd treat him to some go fast fury!!!! running the test loop in the desert. Everything was going fine running about 45mph through a pretty well whooped out section and all of a sudden the shifter rips out of my hand! now thats just not right! so we stop, i look in the fender and sure enough i ripped the ears off the frame!!!!!!! the bullet proof motor mounts were perfect! the stock frame just couldn't hold up!
