yeah so 3k and other parts needed, tell me how much the difference in saving gas would be? LOL. I would do it just because you want the 6spd for future power, not for saving gas.

More info is over on my.is in the "Go Faster" section.

Seems like it might take a while to break even though...

Not worth the gas savings in my opinion.

Off Topic:
I have an R154 tranny with 1jz bellhousing and 900hp gear box for sale. It will bolt up to the 2jzGE motor. Its a bit pricey compared to what others can get. But its worth it, if you plan on boosting.

If you have this when I have enough money for it I'm buying it. No questions asked. R154 + 1uzfe would be perfect. So stop bumping it and I'll buy it in about a year

I know the feeling. Some JackAzz told me that the Supra turbo manifold bolted right up to the GE motor. Boy, was he dumb founded when I popped my hood to show him that the intake wrapped over the engine.

Ya, you can start making payments now. I will hold it till you pay it off. Then I will ship it

You've been misguided heavily, just look at the overhead intake setup. Although if I were to ever go NA-T i'd do an intake mani and get the TT spark plug cover =X
