All I've learned from this is you can put a 2JZ into a Great Wall ute with little trouble

Thats a Great lesson to have learnt Yes the pun was intended lol

Just like the old days. Mixing and matching Borg Warner 3/4 speed gearboxes, input shafts, bell housings and clutch plates.

Love the builds of the not so common rigs benny. Awesome content

I have a 400+rwkw Soarer with the vvti 1j, and manual swapped it with a V160 Getrag (before they became stupid expensive). This is really interesting stuff though Benny, nice one.

I put a T56 in my ‘81 Volvo 242 and had to bash the tunnel quite a bit. Made a cutout for the reverse lockout solenoid the shape of a Coke can and wired a box to the VSS to control it. I switched to Holley engine management and plan to have the Holley drive the lockout with GPS input for speed and eliminate the box.

Didn't know this box existed! I've been playing with the Colorado v6/ar5 box for other things. They are pretty cheap.

+1 for mx83s needing tunnel bashing for r154s , maby is200/300 handbreak assembly would work like in the jzx90 and jzs171 crowns when those guys delete the floor handbreak , i read on the facebook forums about these gearboxes, glad someone is filming progress and r&d of differences , also mx83s have the speedo adaptors in series 2 as thats when toyota went from cable speedo (series1) to electronic (series 2)

You should see if ya can fit a hilux transfer case from an R151 to the back of that box while your tinkering, be good to know if it’s possible, 6 speed 4wd hilux would be cool.

I’ve got a 154 in a mx83 and a can tell you the tunnel needs some loving 😂. I don’t have tripod and the shifter lines up alright 👍

MX83s are the same for manual and auto. And R154s absolutely need to have the tunnel massaged to fit them. W5* are bolt straight in because that's the box that came in the x8s. Also, remember lift in a twisting jerking motion. It's much better than using your knees lol

@BennysCustomWorks Actually, you may be right about the 81. But I know the tunnel needs a massage on the X83. There was a big write up on it on the old Cressida forums back in the day. Even had the parts you needed to smack in detail haha. So maybe all X83s had a smaller tunnel.

A neat rubber inner trim/seal would be to grab a new nissan S13/R32 gearstick boot and ring from gkteck. I used that with an adaptor plate in my Mazda RE Capella.

Hi Benny, thanks for the super unique combo/build. I own an SC with a 2JZ and R154 so I’m very interested in seeing this series. It’s not the gearbox I’d have picked, but I’m not sure there is one on North American soil, so it will be fascinating to see such an exotic combo put together. I get it too, everyone has done a CD009, R154, or Tremec manual swap, so this is very outside the box. Thanks again.

Really!? 5th and 6th are OD? :/ That's pretty lame tbh. Also, why GL4 and not GL5? Do you have the same advice for r154?

I’d seen images of this Great Wall gearbox before and thought it looked very similar to a R154. How do they compare in their ability to handle similar torque and horsepower as the R154?

@drewski5730

6 ай бұрын

3rd gear is the problem with the R154. There isn’t enough metal/meat on the gear with small teeth for high horsepower applications (according to PPG), so the “cure,” is a dog box (which has less teeth and a straighter cut), to fit enough metal into the case. If this gearbox is an R154 derivative, it would use the same basic case, probably with an extension and bolt on compartment for the overdrive (6th gear). So I’m projecting plenty here, but I feel it’s logical, that this gearbox would have about the same torque capacity as the R154. Unless of course 3rd was resized quite a bit from the original ratios to allow for more metal and therefore a stronger construction. I’m very interested to watch as well as I own a car with a 2JZ and R154, but it’s probably not the gearbox I’d have chosen for this application.
