I know Mark had a vent on his too and had to replace the seal on the tail a couple of times tll he sold it. I heard him telling me , he is getting tired of the oil leaks . And he was only on the low 500rwhp. Same thing with 3 other local guys I know who have R154s and are pushing around 600rwhp.... tail shaft leaks
So I guess these R154s cannot really be pushed hard above +500rwhp.

oil coming from shifter area is because of it being slammed to the back of the tranny with that much power and running out over the top

Looked at the shifter last night and after taking off the boot, the short shifter was barley on there lol seems like the bolts vibrated loose and was barley handing on there. I was wondering why it started to feel a little sloppy.
Anyways, I'm trying the sponge trick that I've read in a few threads. Maybe this will help it some. I also sealed it up using some Toyota red and blue locktight on the bolts holding it all down. Going to work this morning the shifter feels much better now that its bolted down tightly and with the foam in there lol. I will also see if I can add a breather somehow with out taking off the trans but not exactly sure where to do this.

r154 breather
hey 8052JZ,
You wanna give this a try. Look at the shifter housing, highest point of the trans. I will also give it a shot when i get my SC running and see if it works on my r154.

So the foam thing seems to be working some what... Not as much is able to leak out. the foams seems to stop it from passing through the shifter. When its time to replace the clutch I'm going to add a a trans breather from summitracing to see if that will help it more.
Here is a video of my car hitting 2step. Finally decided to get a video and I actually didn't know it shoots out flames until it was filmed. lol I was quite surprised.

The v160 is just way out of my range for a trans.. Id rather go auto than invest in a v160. My next build i'm starting to do is going to be based on an auto trans. either 4l80e or th400. I like the idea of the 4l80e because of the overdrive and I would probably go with a full manual valve body to avoid all the wiring.

Got bored the other night and went out for drive while filming it.. mostly went out to practice some 60ft launches.
Turbo will be upgraded in a few weeks to a 73mm and changing out the waste gate to a bigger one than getting re-tuned.

-Don't get me wrong this setup is def alot of fun but I just want more! Also tired of the 5spd so I have something coming up later on to change that
. Not ideal for launching the car, wears the r154 out really quick and it will eventually pop.. Tracks very well and hardly ever spin when dumping the clutch on blacktop. These gixxer drew coils I setup or doing a great job for drag racing and I believe these are great not only for road racing but for daily driving and drag racing. I have solid diff bushing, all BV suspension links and the TC Sportline upper adjustable arms which is set at 0 camber. I paid a good amount to get the suspension dialed in perfectly and its deff doing its job! Very happy. Just WANT MORE POWER

UPDATE..
I haven't updated in while but been getting alot of stuff done lately. I basically pulled the 71mm turbo off along with ebay manifold and started to modify with new cxracing manifold to except dual turbosmart 45mm wastegates... Tones of pics..
cut the holes to fit the schedule 40 pipe
playing with how i want them to be routed
Got one gate done..
Than had to make a spacer for the new turbo to fit... this also similates the thickness of a QSV for later down the road.
Started number 2 Gate
In the bay fits perfectly..
And done... I did also weld on the inside of the collector to make sure everying was sealed and as strong as possible.. Ill get a pic of that later..
Than I decided to recirculate the wastegates..
Finished.. Now I am currently Sandblasting all the parts in preparation for ceramic coating which ill be doing myself for the first time.
My homemade sandblasting cabinet I made a few years back..
Few parts that ive already done...
