Stick is just more fun to drive but Auto with power always wins. So it's up to you. Stick will be more $$ to begin with but less pain in the **** when it comes to electronics.
You can pick up an Aristo 2j motorset for about 1800shipped then the wiring will be the next thing and and the intercooler. That will set you back about 3g's. YOu'll be at 300rwhp. and you can crank it to about 370ish on the twins.

 

i thought some of you guys says that you lose power to the rear wheels when you auto.
like lets say 2 cars same engine,same upgades,just 1 stick the other auto.

why you say stick will be more money???isnt it better to not have electronic headaches??

 

hey have you guys seen the Supra FAQ section they have on the supra forum.so much info all in one place.i wish we had one for SC's .

 

The auto taxes the power more then a manual it's typically a 5% more loss.
So let's say you are making 500 at the crank you will loose about 15% on a manual so you'll be making 425 at the wheels. So an auto you'll be at 400rwhp.
The true percentage of loss has not been confirm since no one has really put the motor on an engine dyno and then drop it in a car and see what it does through an auto and then a manual. So the rule of thumbs is 5% difference between the 2 trannys.

Price of the manual tranny is what is expensive.

 

Was wondering if someone could hook me up with a wiring schematic or diagram of the gague cluster for a GS300 98-05 ???

 

i thought the r154 were cheap?

 

R154 cheap yea right mabey a blown one

 

MK3 units can be had for around 4-500 on car-part.com. You need to extend the shifter housing and get a 1j bellhousing to make it work though.

 

call me dumb but i dont really understand that site LoL i'm such a burn out

 

Hey Sean this question is for Tony .He needs a crank pulley .He has a 93-94 SC300 will the crank from the 02 VVTI motor work.even if they have different part #'s ?

 

I got like 3 of them In excellent condition. PM me $40 bucks

 

hey guys i used the search and found nothing.are the cams,injectors,twins in the aristo smaller then the the usdm supra tt?
and they claim the aristo 320hp,supra tt 280hp?

 

Yes the Cams are smaller in the Aristo versus the US, the injectors in the Aristo are 440cc versus 550cc in the US, and I'm not sure if the twins are bigger but they are made of a different material...

so the US has more power,cool.then why would so many use the aristo swap?

 

Because Aristos are much easier to come by and the biggest factor is that the Aristo is way cheaper,,,,
