RobD Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Does anyone do any uprated internals for the w58? If so any links to where to get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Martin Crawler might do one, I've seen their name bandied around on various threads about uprating the W58 and R154 internals - don't be surprised if the total cost is more than a secondhand Getrag V160/V161 though.

RobD Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 That much? I was hoping that it would be a bit cheaper than a 6 speed conversion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Just looked, don't seem to have anything for the w58! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 r154 is gonna be the best for the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 It's looking that way! Just thinking if I could get the uprated parts for a grand to 1500 it would be worth me getting them instead of a 2.5-3k outlay on a 6 speed conversion!

Kirk Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Dude regardless your still going to have to pay out for a 154. There's only one direct fit r154 and its rare as fuke. Any 154 conversion is going to require a 1jz bell housing, 1jz flywheel, a shifter extention and a modded prop as the r154 is different. Stop worrying about uprated internals aswel! There not necessary! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Lets see how long nums lasts, its already whining and if anyone will break 1 it`ll be him:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Well that's answered my question, I was going to call and see how it was lasting. Has he done any drifting with it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm on my 3rd W58 now! Both lasted about 12 months on my NA-TT running around 400bhp. They're good with a standard TT but as soon as you crank the boost up it's just a waiting game! Especially if, like me, you like to push the car on the odd occasion. I've finaly bit the bullet and I'm dropping a V161 in it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarrter21 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 mines lasted alot of drifting, its been bpu for 6months now. also done two drift days. it whines alot and gets quite hot........ how long do you think its got left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 I'm not one to drift, but on the motorways I like to push it a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Doom Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Well my first W58 went bang with no warning whatsoever! I was just driving along very gently and there was a loud bang! The second time i was testing out the RLTC launch control in the dry so it was partly my fault lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
