the description says that it adaptes the r154 to the uz-fe series motors. why are you asking if you need a kit to adapt an r154 to the 2jz. get a soarer 1jzgte bell housing and put a r154 behind the 2jz or 1jz. simple. if you use the supra r154 you will need to make a few shifter modifications which have been discussed. use search...

why do you need to put on a GM trans anyways. since you want this trans to go on a 2jz instead of the uz-fe series motor the gearing of the tko 600 is gonna suck. the stock gearing in the 2jz cars for first is about 3.70's im pretty sure. the tko has a 2.80's first gear. its okay if you have a v8 with a lot of torque to turn it but on a 6 cyl it will be pretty doggy.
what is your goal for the car? same as most lexus owners?...put a bunch of expensive parts together, learn their names, and some what learn what they do...lol

my car is a NAT, and with my stock W58 the gears are super short with the trubo motor, it does not stay in the power band long because, my rear is also stock at 4.08 If you know about NAT's or have driven one you would know the 4.08 is too high, and the gearing needs to be lowered.
Most people with NAT and manual transmission try to get their hands on a Aristo/auto TT rear diff, which whill lower it, but they don't exactly grow on trees
no I'm not buying expensive parts just because someone is selling them. And FYI, not all TKO's have the same gearing
the point of the post is that if the TKO can be fitted into a Sc and mated to the V8, having it mated to the 2jz isn't gonna b a stretch. It would be nice for people to have options instead of the R154.....
soarer ones are getting extremely rare, even good R154 are getting harder to find, since the nissan crowd has been buying them up and using them in the 240 chassis

why dont you just find a GS rear end and buy an actual lsd. the lsd will be the expensive part but sourcing the diff or just the gears is not hard. im sure if you contact gazi and tell him you need a gs rear end he can get it for a couple of hundred bucks. the lsd will run you anywhere from 650 to 100 depending on what you get and how hard you look.
you can do whatever you want but i think that reinventing the wheel is not necssary. that kit from thor racing is 750 pounds which is about 1000-1100 bucks. then you still need a flywheel. and you will still need an lsd.
oh and i forgot to mention...you still need the trans
use your money more effectively and get a gs rear end gear. it wont be the best solution but definitely the best bang for the buck.
another option is finding a mk4 supra TT torsen pumpkin. those rear ends are 3.16 or 3.26 gear. definitely low enough

na-t is all nice and great and i do know what you're talking about. i also know that the gearing is not all the same. there is gearing variations between v160 and v161...just an example.

i had a tko 600 in my stang wish i kept the trans.. oh well. TKO is not a god of a trans i was running 3.73 final gears that thing hauled. but then again my engine had alot more TQ than HP lol. it's a good trans and lots of aftermarket parts for it. and ridiculous short shifters. my short shifter was 3/4" throw from 1st to 2nd and spring loaded for 3rd.
