well all this tranny talk is good but not my main problem right now but when i came to that bridge i will deal with it until then i will run the c52 for a year to see how it does and go from there




well we have to go back and redo the cam issue

it was marked for tdc and rechecked

according to toyota all the 4ag lower timing gears are the same so

i have a extra tension in my set up so my belt is routed a little differnt in one spot

but here is a little more tech stuff

I have a 2.095 lower and 4.48 uppers. With these cam gears the lower pulley should measure 2.24" not 2.095" but this was solves the difference is to account for belt stretch

944 belt

i might have a small issue of timing gear and cam gears teeth arent matching 100% still looking into this

crower 272 in and ex
my cam card is not matching the the number we got off the cams
Once again the cam card we have shows Duration @ .050 to be 224'/224' not 220'/228'. The gross lift on the card shows .321/ .321 not .374/.393 ???
so crower is not being abig help so might just run the stock cams i got from bee for now until i get the car dailed in then probably put some hks cams in but this is if we cant figure out how to get these cams to work

they were granny clutchin' remember? lolol.
if they were 10 seconds or less car, they'll probably looking forward to going clutchless and just having a slap stick.

Nik, for when your C52 does go out, I'm 99% sure that you can find someone to make you a flywheel. I have heard of people welding filler rod and filling up the bolt holes, then machining it and redrilling a different pattern, maybe that would work for you. Or maybe a company like Fidenza can just make you one that will work. Either way, once you have an E51 or E58 in there you won't have a problem.

The shop doing the build sounds top-notch, I'll bet you're paying a pretty penny for it.

Come on down to South Carolina when I move, and I'll give you a free run on the dyno

The biggest issue with using a gze tranny is gonna be axles, flywheels and clutches can all be worked out trust me; thats the prolly one of the biggest issues with the gze swap (next to wiring and all that jazz)

Looks like a great build tho cant wait to see some numbers

what year make ans models do those two trannies come out of i think hte e51 was in the Mr2 but not sure can you send a little info my way so i can do a little research thanks Doc

I will help you with a custom flywheel if you need it.
Can't wait to see that thing in action.

update piston should be in this week then a couple days to reassemble and get up and running than about a week of tuning to get the cam bug worked out then should be go to go so i should have it by 3rd week in march

how is it coming along Nik?

i called the shop yesterday to check on the new pistons they wount be shipped out till the 19th so im waiting for those to come in so i can get randy his pistons and my car done and back im tired of waiting but i leave for florida the 21st until the 29th so hopefully they get the pistons in the motor reassembled the cam timing figured out and fixed and it road tuned by the end of this month once i have it back i'll post a sound clip and video and some finished pics of the motor

goodluck man. I was just in florida, i got home today be safe

Nik, the one you're going to want is the E58 out of the Corolla Levin with the 4AGZE engine. It's already set up for FWD use, you're still going to need custom axles most likely, and flywheel of course. And mounts.
