    Is the r154 worth the swap

    I guess I should add to this thread since Ive seen way too many threads talking about the W58 not holding anything beyond 300 hp. My current setup puts down just over 500 whp and has had over 400 whp for the past two years, and its still on a W58 with almost 130k miles. Im not saying that...

    Quick question about LSD

    Hello, I just received a used 3.91 LSD and have a question. When turning the rear axle plates they only move in the same direction. I cannot turn one forward with the other one spinning the opposite way. I am worried that it may have been welded together like a POSI or something. Is this...

    Turbo Help

    They usually dont, youre right, but I had a CT seize on me a few years back. I pulled off the accordian and the compressor wheel would not spin for anything. It may be rare but not a bad idea to inspect the wheel since its not hard to do.

    available bolt on turbo options.

    ^^^Good choice, I ran a 57 trim CT26 for a few years and loved it! It made 378 rwhp at 15 psi and spooled almost immediately. Its a very streetable turbo. Keep in mind though, that with the mods you listed above, you dont have anything to tune with. So unless you forgot to mention it, you...

    Best wideband

    I have the AEM Wideband and dont have any problems with it. But I think youre gonna find that everyone will be a little biased with their recommendations. Most people will only have used 1 wideband (including myself) and can only speak on their experience with it. I like the AEM, but like Im...

    Climate control blower fan not working - Help

    Directly underneath the glovebox, if you drop the bottom panel under it, there is a resistor. I just replaced mine like a month ago. It fixed the problem.

    I decided to put a 2J in my 87 hardtop. Info please.

    Are you plan on going single before you drop the 2JZ in there? Ive read that you will have to bang the firewall a bit to get the turbos to fit. Just a thought since it would be much easier and cleaner to go single while its out.

    Hello all!

    Its funny because nobody has mentioned maintenance first. I only say it because you didnt mention in your original post. First things first, start with making sure all things are up to snuff before you start adding performance parts. If you look around on the forum, there are many threads...

    Notorious M.K.3.

    I was just thinking that. Valve covers would look sick with the turbo, but nothing more. Would be too much...

    2J MK3 Well I guess its time to start a build thread

    8k doesnt seem too bad at all from the pics. With only 40k on the clock it would tempt me just to put it in the garage. Almost too nice to drive it. Throw on Barrett Jackson in 5 or 10 years!!!
