Thanks for the parts/price breakdown Travis.

Yeah that transmission is not cheap, the cheapest I found was $3700 not including shipping.

 

yup! i eventually wana buy one then put a really good diff in it...but thats in the far far future lol...

next winter i already have planned out for the car haha:
-precision 6766
-quick spool valve
-twin Weldon fuel pumps
-1000cc injectors
-Titan fuel rail
-AEM standalone
-HKS 272 cams
-valves, reainers, springs ect...

no way will i be able to fit the trans and diff into that budget haha

 

^sp's quickspool valve is a beast. very impressed

 

R154 trans are the best for the budgeted people the 6 speeds are like gold now

 

How much power are you looking to make? What about budget? Have you looked into the Full Race Turbo / Turbo Manifold? They have a Turbo (forgot exact specs) I believe made 7-800ish and started spooling in the 3k range. Something to look into if you're looking to make some big power. Believe this setup goes for around $3-4,000, somewhere in that area. I have to get back on that search, has been a month or 2 now.

 

i want to make something around 8-900 after i get everything done next winter...i feel like thats the point where my trans is going to be iffy...then the next winter will be the time ill look into a possible trans swap...but that all depends on how happyi am with the setup at the time...i really dont have a set goal on what i want...

 

I dont know if i missed it or not, but what ecu are you using right now? Will it ever pass ob2 emissions ?

 

using the 2j ecu

just to get it drivable i am just using an APEXI SAFC II...who knows if it will pass emissions...not too worried about it lol...they dont do emissions where i am

 

lucky you, i wish i lived in SC i would do this swap also

 

teaser of unneeded parts ....couldnt pass up the price lol

 

By the time you move back here if you ever decide to , there won't be emissions here in King or Pierce county either

Nice choice of parts, you are really close to my build other than me having an RB26 and you having a 2J. I'm sweating everytime I go to the track wondering if my front diff or tranny is going to explode, need to work on that :P

 

just ordered my drive shaft today!!! THE LAST PIECE I NEEDED TO BE DONE!!! they said its a one day turn around...soooooooooo im thinking the car should be moving by friday..hopefully some videos by next week sometime!

in the meantime, Tony moved Shifted Performance into a new shop! heres a few new pics

 

Looking forward to the vids!

 

throttle body is back from chrome! drive shaft will be back on thursday now!

 

Need better pictures of the Throttle body it looks polished not chrome

 

you might be right...honestly i donno...haha (weird i know) it was sent to the "chromer" so i assumed it was chromed, but being a throttle body it may have ben polished...i havnt seen it in person...just got a pic today

 

nice! can't wait to see more vids

 

Yea looks like it was polished. When you chrome something there will be additional "material" added to whatever is chromed. So you will have a layer of chrome that the item will be completely coated in. If they did not disassemble the throttle body and have everything coated then it is polished. If you paid to have it chromed get your money back. If they hooked you up on polishing then dont worry about it but there looks like there are some spots that were missed or poorly done. Im not hating just didnt want you to get screwed out of money that was spent on something that wasnt done.

Im ready to see some numbers out of this thing!!!

 

Hey Travis, I might have missed it, but is Shifted doing your tuning?

 

im not real sure yet how we are doing it...but ill find ot tomorrow when the car is moving and i talk to Tony how all that is going down

and thanks Breww HA HA for the thought...the polish was free so im cool with it lol...Tony is going to touch up on it as well and get it the best he can (like on the TRC lable)
