So my buddy I got the swap from told me that since I’m getting the trani built (actually shipped to Texas day before yesterday) that my next weak link is gonna be my rear diff and it is a ticking grenade waiting to explode under what will be the new power. He told me that the gear set from a Supra rear diff should hold the power as long as I don’t go for more power. Problem is he doesn’t know which Supra gear set is the same ratio as my current. Does anyone have the knowledge of which Supra diff I should pull from? I have found a few but dunno which one.
whos building your trans? im assuming its the a650e?

Probably JeffTsai at PowerDynamix. He used to be an active member on here and built a crazy 02 GS300 Sport Design with something like 1200 wheel and he's still using the A650e. Hes got a whole bunch of videos on YouTube and some stuff on Instagram about the build and his shop
Just got the (I guess we will call them) secondary / beefed up frame supports back from powder coating. They are not TRD but had them done in blue to match the sway bars. Will post pics when installed.
It was a rats nest. I cleaned it up, eliminated the butt connectors, soldered everything and sealed em up. I still have to add the O2 sensor chip if I want the CEL to be off.
Had to make my own. That **** sucked ***. good work.
I like the powdercoated subframe braces. I've been looking for a clean TRD brace, but I had also considered getting a rough one or a Tom's set and powdercoating to my Sportivo sway bars. It's a nice easter egg.
Rebuilt trani just got delivered to the shop today. Looks nice and clean. Big thanks to Jeff Tsai@ Power Dynamix. Hopefully I can install it this weekend and test it out.
Lol we got the same order. I have mine on the way right now from Jeff as well. He said he just built 6 of them. We are working out the shipping so my stock one goes out as a core on the same day. Here's to hoping these really are all the hype!
Oh, are you going with a higher stall converter or leaving the stock one in?
I was planning on getting a Dragon... about the stall honestly I am not sure. I want to say after 17 year’s of turning wrenches that I understand a torque converter, I know how to explain to customer “how it works” but I can’t wrap my head around what it will actually be like to choose my stall and how to pick a stall that will still make daily driving enjoyable. I want to be able to grab a burger at McDonald’s and not have to launch from window to window. I do know that the consensus among the techs I have talked to that even if I have everything set on the dragon the same as the stock converter that it will still be much better that stock and much capable to handle that higher HP. None of the techs I know do anything custom so I feel like I talk to this person they say one thing, read this it says another then this guy says this and no one is saying the same thing. What are your plans?
I have a dragon from PI in 3200 stall for my rebuild. I’ve had stalls before. The dragon will work like stock and be way better for performance. Expensive, but nows the time bro. You’ll like it.
