The throttle response on the twins is pretty good, on a manual anyway.

On something else like an automatic SUV, it makes a big difference. On my 8-speed base model LC200 for example, it would need...

From my limited experience with T56 swaps, I wouldn't recommend it to be mated with an FA20.

1. Gearing, way too tall for a low torque/high rpm engine like the FA20. You can mix and match to get...

I hate to say it but that's your problem right there. I initially found HTG a few years ago as they seem to have a bigger presence online compared to Turbolamik. Looking into the swap recently, it's...

I know this might be a bit late, but why not go with a ZF 8HP? There are many sitting behind a 2JZ and at least one in a BRZ. You can even install a clutch pedal and drive it like a manual.

C1237 - Speed Sensor Rotor Faulty

I've probably had this issue since I swapped a 3UR-FE into my car. We initially thought it was an issue with the CAN BUS translator between the 3UR ECU and the 86 Main Body ECU. After a few revisions...

What he actually said is that it blew up at about 750hp. That could mean two things:

My guess is weight. They could have gone with a B58 but I guess it didn't cut it for the "tuner" aspect and reliablity to handle the power (even though I think the B58 has decent potential).

Even if it was identical to a B58, it has been confirmed to have an iron/CGI block. So no, it's not off shelf.
