Jeff's MSP GTR Build

Subbin in and welcome back. Do not let a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch. Nice job so far can not wait to see the final project.
 
ok I looked it up. For those that didn't know the toyota e153 tranny is most commonly known for the MR2. Should be alot stronger than the MSP tranny and has alot of aftermarket support. Nice choice.
 
ya there are guys running 10s on that transmission. the fwd variant is from the camry, the awd variant is from the celica and the rwd variant is from the mr2. all of them are good for more power than I will ever make. Finding a LSD for it is next on the list :)
 
You should post the comparison pic of the Toyota trans VS the Mazda trans; bloody ridiculous :P

he might be i sent him a drawing of the adaptor plate quite a while ago as well as a bunch of other people on toprotege.com i am assuming he made one of them by now but i havent seen him post anything about it
 
outside of the adapter plate and the trans mount, how much work is required to make it fit? axles i assume... what else?

here is the how to swap the e153

therieldeal is the pioneer for NA

some kiwis did it before in NZ but they use the AWD celica box

some guys on clubprotege.com are gonna be using the toyota box and drivetrain in their AWD GTX and GTRs.

I can just imagine... launch control + indestructable AWD box + small light hatchback = better than sex lol

If i had real balls I would try an AWD conversion on the speed with the celica box. but I am too chicken s*** lol maybe in a few years if I get bored with FWD

I wish this tranny bolted to the FS, that would be a good alternative to the glass tranny we have now. I used to have a 3sgte swapped 95 celica with a mr2 tranny. It held over 400whp I made with the a cusco 1.5 way lsd.

do u guys think its possible to make this trans work with the fs motor? is that what u are doing focus. if so ill most definately be goin this rought wen the forged motor goes in. plus im sure it can be dont cheaper then the 5 g's it takes to build a par tranny.
