"Will this thing fit in there?" :slap:

 

"Which way would you like your cat skinning?" . . . . . . . . . :sly:

A Hybrid can be built using for a base platform, either a Supra T.T. or an Aristo 4-speed auto transmission, a Tiptronic could be used, but :think: why would you want to? :looney:

 

The valve-body and a few other bits come from a donor :amen: Supra N/A, or GS300 transmission, it's the most efficient version of the series and beefing-up a box is what it's all about. :shrug:

 

A Soarer v.b. could be used, but :think: why would you not want the best option? :looney:

 

A Hybrid will mate up to 2JZA80-GE & GTE, 1JZA80-GE & GTE & 1UZ-FE inc VVT-i variants, and 7M series engines using a mix & match of all OE components. :)

 

A Hybrid will fit into a Supra, Soarer, Aristo or Lexus, using all OE components. :)

A Hybrid is plug & play compatible with ECU; Supra Mk3 GTE & GE, Supra Mk4 GE, Soarer 1J-GTE, 2J-GE & V8, GS300 & 400. :)

 

A Hybrid also functions with Suprastick ECU, providing 2 x sets of fully programmable gear-change tables & manualised flappy-paddle changes. :)

 

A Hybrid could also function with Supra T.T. or Aristo ECU, by fitting line-feed pressure control-cable & resistors to redundant line-feed solenoid-wires. :think:

 

It has taken a while to :think: work out which OE what, it takes to mate to which alternative OE other, in that OE space & the different computations are numerous. :smartass:

 

I refer to them as "Recipe's", :shrug: and much depends on car/engine combo & what OE components are available at the time, no two installations are quite the same, similar yes, same no. :blink:

In the pages of this Group, I have done my damnedest with pretty pictures, videos and lots of writing in old-money, explaining how this upgrade works, :looney: yet at the dumbest level......

 

 

Automatic transmissions are like Tesco's. :confused:

 

 

"Every little helps." :shrug:

 

 

In a attachment.php?attachmentid=168513&d=1367250062 nutshell!

 

I take the weakest links out of the chain and replace them with a mix & match of strongest compatible OE

components and build a beefed-up transmission that's plug & play with earlier generation electronics. :blink:

 

 

Or if you prefer? attachment.php?attachmentid=209841&d=1457258044 It's all done with Magic! http://www.katzy.dsl.pipex.com/Smileys/magic2.gif

Formula Hybrid

 

 

Strongest box; TT, Aristo & Tiptronic.

 

Strongest torque-converter; TT, Aristo & Tip. (Thickest bolts 12MT x 1?)

 

Strongest bolts - t.c. & crank; TT, Aristo & Tip. (no. 11's)

 

Flex-plate; TT, Aristo, Tip or GS430. (Bigger bolt holes - V8 t.c. & f.p. parts are a lottery)

 

Most efficient compatible valve-body; Supra N/A or GS300.

 

Bell-housing from; engine type used.

 

Transmission cross-member; TT, Aristo, Lexus 5-speed, 2J VVT-i's, LS400, Soarer V8 or GS430.

 

Sump, dipstick & tube, for 1 & 2J; TT, Aristo or Tip. (Larger than GE S6 fluid capacity - largest is GS430 5-speed + re-cal dipstick)

 

Sump, dipstick & tube, for 1UZ; GS430. (Largest V8 fluid capacity + re-cal dipstick)

 

Prop-shaft front section; car box taken from.

 

Prop-shaft tail-section; car box going into.

 

Line-feed cable from; car going into, or bespoke.

 

 

There are a few internal bits and pieces to swap & tinker with that I have not divulged, to prevent tears. :cry:

Fluid Lines

 

Fitting a Hybrid into Supra 2JZA80-GE, the plumbing requires a position adjustment to accommodate the 18mm deeper bell-housing.

 

Fitting a Hybrid into any 1UZ-FE build, a bottom/front Supra pipe is required.

 

 

Temperature Sensor

 

The transmission has a temperature sensor that can multi-task and drive a temperature gauge to monitor fluid temp.

 

 

Sump & Dipstick

 

The bigger the sump, the bigger the fluid capacity and the bigger the better. A340E GE sump smallest, A340E GTE sump + 1 litre, A650E 5-speed sump largest.

 

Hybrid with T.T. sump, all 2J installations use T.T. dipstick & tube.

 

Hybrid with 5-speed sump may require re-calibration of dipstick to read correctly?

Torque-Converters

 

Either GTE or 1UZ torque-converter can be used with a Hybrid.

 

GTE = 2,800 stall.

 

1UZ = 2,400 stall.

 

 

Oil Coolers

 

It is essential to use an additional oil cooler(s).

 

 

ATF

 

The good stuff is costly, but please don't skimp at this last hurdle, Toyota Type IV & a bottle of Lucas SS is my recommendation.
