Parts needed for a potential v160 conversion from w58.

Hi all,

 

I know the whole "what part are needed to upgrade my gearbox blah blah blah" have been done to death, however the lists you find while searching are obviously a full conversion, so parts like the dash, transmission tunnel, pedals etc etc are included.

 

Basically I'm just looking for a bit of clarification.

 

My Car is a NA (2JZ-GE) with a W58 ( 5speed) with a open rear diff. Running completely stock currently.

 

If I was to source a V160 what addition parts would I need, I'm basically interested in finding out if items such as the clutch res are compatible, and could I use the rear half of my prop and keep the open differential and drive shafts until a later date?

 

I have put together a list so far of what i think i need, but please feel free to correct me, and add and delete as applicable.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

full v160 gearbox complete

clutch and flywheel (OEM 6 speed one? would this be compatible for the NA?)

clutch lines

clutch master cyl (Can the 5 speed one be used?)

slave cyl

propshaft (Can the 5 speed one be used?)

lsd diff (Can these be left for now?)

driveshafts (Can these be left for now?)

 

Anything else?

Check the gearbox calculator to work out the effect of leaving your diff in.

 

Yeah have done that and it would mean I would be going through the gear slightly quicker, but could be solved with a tt auto diff or similar.

v160

1st 32.4

2nd 52.5

3rd 73.6

4th 94.5

5th 123.9

6th 156.3

 

W58

1st 37.7

2nd 65.4

3rd 97.2

4th 123.9

5th 158.3

N/A

 

 

 

 

I'm more questioning the actual ability to fit this combo for now and whats needed. The diff would be changed however I'm looking to do it in stages.

 

Although I know I could run the old diff would I need to change the front half of the prop etc.

 

One thing i have found while searching is it appears the slave cylinder can be left, but will change the biting point on the clutch.

James very kindly sent me this off the tip off his head. Anyone else think of anything

 

You Need:

V160 or V161 Gearbox

Clutch release fork

Clutch Release bearing & carrier(With all shims & retaining clips)

Dual Mass Flywheel OEM - Same for NA6 & TT6

Clutch pressure and drive plate

Clutch Flexi to Slave Cylinder line

Clutch Slave Cylinder(TT6 & NA6 are the same)

TT or NA6 prop shaft

Diff or at least a diff flange*(see below) to match the prop & drive shafts.
