Alot of drift guys use the R154 on their cars with no complain, so it should work fine for you depending on what diff you are running.
that R154 is stronger than you W58 so Yes if i were you i would do it, it can take more beating .
SO r154 works fine with the right setup/turbo/ rear diff/ etc ...

Np sir.

But do you know what kind of car the R154 came out of? Because if it's out of an MK3 you will need a JZ Bellhousing and shifter extension to install it in your SC.

the ratios are very close to w58 i love the r154 in my sc its *****in! 1jz bellhousing and just cut the shifter a handle and weld a 2" bar in it to sit it back a tad, if its the mk3 one. you dont have to go crazy and nuts with this whole extending business.
