HiPSI's NA-T / Build Thread - Billet 6265 in store

Haha! Thanks man I felt like I needed a cigar and a ice cold beer after it was all said and done! Installing that v160 wasn't easy by myself but persistence paid off! I still need to install the TRD LSD.as I wanted to install the sc400 diff first to make sure it worked well and wasnt going to be a problem (it came from a local junkyard). The car idles whisper quiet no weird noises or clunks its very smooth.

I know dude I'll probably bring it out once it's tuned and making some decent worthy power
Thanks man, I'm itching to get it broken in so that it will hopefully become more slippable. The pedal is super light, I want to even say it feels lighter than the stock clutch on the w58.

6th gear at 70mph my RPM's are now at 2200-2300 versus being at 3k @ 70mph in 5th on the w58 so I'm sure mpg will improve! Putting around in 6th at 40mph or so I didn't feel any vibration under load / acceleration which is great with this 3.5" PHR driveshaft. I was worried that this one piece shaft would cause driveline vibrations like the driveshaftshop ones would on some supras on supraforums. Probably due to it retaining the stock rubber isolator instead of the billet metal piece on the DSS driveshaft.

Ratio is long vs W58 , specially with 3.13 but i think the 3.26 and the V160 makes the perfect combo!
V160 are Noisy going in gears or coming out of gear just like the R154 specially the Soarer/Chaser R154 but i am sure it won't bother.
While you have it apart get some heat shield for the tunnel and wrap that thing , because it will get annoying hot.
Very nice and i am glad i like that tranny and you put it to Good use ASAP!
I can't wait to put mine in and turn up the boost!
That clutch is very nice , it feels just like the Southbend clutches very light pedal feel, almost like stock and will hold 780rwhp.good choice
