MOsupra Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Morning gents. Bought a supra off a fellow member about 3 years ago and has no choice but to sell it due to circumstances a year later. Broke my heart However I want another supra. Seen a beaut for sale but it's 5peed n/a. I want to put a 2jz with low miles with an upgraded clutch. Where the best place to guy buy and fit for fair price? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke my heart However I want another supra. Seen a beaut for sale but it's 5peed n/a. I want to put a 2jz with low miles with an upgraded clutch. Where the best place to guy buy and fit for fair price? Cheers Hi Welcome back. Where are you located? You should be able to source an engine off the forum, they do come up occasionally so worth checking the parts for sale thread. If you're looking for a reputable trader down south to undertake the work then speak to Supra Racing Developments (SRD) who are an authorised trader on here. If you're more central based then worth looking at Tim at TB Developments who again is an authorised trader. I know a forum member called Littlenum is also brilliant for engine building, swaps and all things Supra related too so you could drop him a pm and see if he'll help out. Any photos/links to the car in question as there's plenty of knowledge on the forum and we might be able to help you out with the car. Also worth noting that the W58 5 speed boxes aren't built for taking Twin Turbo BPU power (circa 400) although some have been fine. Therefore you might want to consider looking at V160 or R154 options albeit the Getrag is mega money and becoming ever rarer. Good luck.

MOsupra Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hi Sheefa, I'm based in south London. Thanks for the advice. Think I might just have to drop them a call to get prices. Just fingers crossed to find a low mileage one Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Personally i'd just by a TT and wait till the right one comes along, try an auto, no clutch and deal with 400 ish hp easily Edited June 23, 2017 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 You can buy the JDM 2JZ-GTE and Getrag 6 speed box from the US or Canada more readily than they appear over here. Costs these days around US$12k (they were $6k a couple of years ago). Probably best wait for a TT6 to come up for sale, there was a auto to TT6 for sale in the classifieds recently which could well still be available.

MOsupra Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Yeah ideally I would love a tt6 but most of them which come up are relatively high mileage. Was hoping to go down this route to have a low mileage 5 speed with a V160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_bandido Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Have you thought about using a BMW box instead? Still a getrag and much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Personally i'd just by a TT and wait till the right one comes along, try an auto, no clutch and deal with 400 ish hp easily Having done the whole NA5 to turbo route, I would second that.

TwoSocks Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Having also done a NA5 to 1JZ id also recommend just buying a TT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
