Thanks
as for the alternator, its on there and its not going any where, but i know what you are saying, it looks like its all over the place, i think the mount needs to be thicker so it dont move, i will have to rethink or just put some plate on it and then see what it is like,
the thing is theres not much room for mounting it....

dan_harris Hi Marcus just a quick question what gearbox are you using on this conversion? sorry if it's been mentioned
Hi mate, im useing the LS400 auto box for now, i think the box is good for about 300/350 hp, just so i can get it on the road quicker, but i will be puting a R154 5 speed box thats out of the Turbo supra, next year,
My IS-V8-Turbo - Dan_Turism0 - 03-06-2017
isn't the R154 out of the n/a supra and the TT supra uses the V161? or we talking MK3?
My IS-V8-Turbo - Marcus_1UZ - 04-06-2017
The R154 came out the Mk3 or 4 i not sure, but it was a turbo setup i think, and thats why the gearboox is good for over 500hp and thats why alot use it as its 2nd to the V161
dan_harris isn't the R154 out of the n/a supra and the TT supra uses the V161? or we talking MK3?
Marsdendean thats amazing. I know this is a very stuipid question, but are you taking mega money for this type of conversion, and are they reliable?
Takeing mega money?? are you asking if i would do this for someone else?? as for being reliable!! its a V8 its as good as it gets!! one guy in the US running over 500hp and he has not opened the engine to do any work inside, and his is still going good, its been running for 3 years now

Marcus_1UZ Takeing mega money?? are you asking if i would do this for someone else??
I'm wondering if there was a typo and meant "talking" ?
Dean, Marcus is doing all this work himself, but I imagine it would be mega money to pay a garage to do all this work.

At least 7K, for a conversion, + engine, I would have thought.
