Sorry for Hijack,

Think we need to start a tread with all the SR info that ppl have gathered!

Nah Mick, leave your avtar as is! you built it.

Scott,

Will the engineering be for the DET or just DE?
I'll be looking very seriously at this conversion early next year.
It's fantasic that you are actually getting the kit together. Makes it 100% easier for others!
Looking fwd to the pics.

Thats thing would be a bit of a hand full!

There was also a Blue Gemmi here that had a RB30et installed (not legal). Saw it at a street meet when it was only rb30e and it still went great!

My XR6 catches a lot of ppl of guard! It just looks and sounds reasonably std untill the waste gate opens! I'd love to run it down the 1/4, but haven't had the chance cos AIR has been closed for so long! should run low 12sec @ around 116-118mph. Have had it on a G-tech, ran 12.4 @ 116mph. Who knows how reliable they are though.
There's a older Cressida here in SA with a 400+rwkw 2jz. looks std as, but is insane on the road! peels 150+ km/h.

Was that 5k in a SA ke10 or 15?

I think my a15 will just get a freashen up! see how it goes.

Would do it in a sec, but unfortunatly I'm overseas! There should be plenty of other friendly SA Datto owners that'll help you out.

My apologies, it was a supra 5spd box behind a full built G180.
Sorry bout that!

I'm not really that worried cos I'll be going down th CA or SR path later. I just coulndn't find any info in the search! so I thought I'd start a thread to suck a little info out of every one!
Obviously not much info to suck, I'll leave it at that.
Any info is still encouraged.
There still isn't much info on what power ppl are seeing failures at!

Well what are the power limits?

A Celica box will handle 250rw! I've seen it in a Gemmi that runs 11.6 @ 117mph all day. It used to run a std 4spd Gemmi box. (obiously its not going to last smashing through the cogs)
Does anyone have an idea on the strength of the Gemmi box compared to a L or A series box?

There must be more info around, from what ppl that have actually done some of this stuff. Someone must know the limits!
What is going to be an economic power figure for the a15(150-200rwhp)? Before going totally overboard. (just rebuild with some lo-comp forgies, shot peened rods, head port, larger valves ect).

Just thought I'd put to gether a tread for all that didn't want to go down the CA, SR path.
(not saying that I'm not, we all know how easy it is and how to get 250rw out of a CA. But there isn't much info for the A series)

What gearbox will work? That's what the tread is for, info.

-How hard is it to adapt a celica/supra 5spd?
-Would any A series box handle 250rw?
-Would a L series box fit?

There will be someone that has the answers!
