Hello All,

I'm building a Dirt Circuit race car using a 1JZ and i'm after a manual transmission. I'm just wondering what my options are and what power they can take.

Thanks,
Dale

Building the chassis from scratch or using an existing frame? Either way, I highly doubt a 1JZ is the most appropriate motor. For power/weight, a 3SGTE is probably going to be your best bet.

Anyway, for a xJZ the main options are:

W58 - will probably blow up if you turbo it, but would be fine for N/A
R154 - huge gearbox, but built for turbo
V160 - even huger gearbox, 6-speed, ridiculously expensive, but also built for turbo

what car u using?

R154 would definately be the easiest. maybe rebuild it if you're making a drag car with huge power

Don't go for the getrag V160, for the effort you would probably be better off getting a Tremec to make something to suit

Sorry guys i forgot about this thread;

Here's a copy of the build thread for the car;

R154 is often the way to go with 1J...I've rarely seen 1J with a V160/161 attached to them.

that is some impressive build BTW...and I can see you have chosen the W58. Keep us posted.

I highly doubt a 1JZ is the most appropriate motor. For power/weight, a 3SGTE is probably going to be your best bet.

At least you dudes haven't had that MJ spammer yet
Back on topic, W58 should be fine as that thing would be super light.
