I have a soarer R154 with a 1jz and ITS 66mm, around 450whp (guessing) on pump and 21lbs. Doesn't break a sweat.

Cool sounds good how long you been running that setup? The reason I ask is I'm hearing allot of issues with crank walk and blown driveshaft seals... Anyone else??? Besides quick GS I already know how you feel about this, go big or go home lol... By the way thanks again for all your help man

I haven't driven my car a lot, as its a garage queen mostly, been a work in progress. I take it out once a month or so just to run it. I haven't heard a lot of crankwalk issues in 1jz's at all, I know from the dsm side that its usualy due to clutch pressure plates being high with softer than normal thrust bearrings.

Been daily driving mine for about a week, I really need to dyno but im guessing its a lil over 450whp and only issue I had was slight leak around shifter housing and the DS Knuckle randomly hitting the the thin metal dust cover on the trans. O ther than that it holds the power

my buddy has the r-154 with 712hp in his car with a act extreme clutch... however for the most part the tranny will hold lots of power as most trannies will... but they will break if your double clutching not granny shifting like ya should be (fast and furious haha reversed) but really if ur hard on the tranny its gonna hate u and break. but the 712 hp has been going on that tranny for little over a yr now and been to the track with it couple times last yr... (1/4 mile)
