well i'm using the stock tranny and i had been boosting 10-12psi frequently. nothing's wrong with it. still strong like it always has been.

Turbo install made possible thanks toTeamJ.D.M.officially 5SFTE junior member~*MuH NeW RiDe*~
The original gear box should be alright on 8-9psi.. I guess you'll find out how good of a condition it is in smile.gif

I doubt you'll stay at 8-9 though.. no one ever does.. once you get boost u want more and more and more

87 4runner DLX 22re, 5spd, 4.30gr, 4" lift, 30" tires, HID w/ Projectors, 6spkr + sub, custom exhaust, 94 celica leather seats, SR5 gauge cluster and clinometer. Future engine swap... possibly a 2jzge.

Oooo that sounds like fun I have entertained the idea of boosting my 3s-fe, let us know how you get on biggrin.gif
Only problem in NZ is you can just spend less money and get a gt4 or ss2/3 .

yeap, here the 3sgte swap cost like... 3k $ (only engine, wiring harness and ecu) and don't know the milleage...
and others 1.000$ in the job.... so it's very hard for me spend that amount of money.....


well by now i found into a friend's shop the 3sgte manifold and a CT26 turbo, i'll buy some FMIC, BOV, install the unichip w/turbo module a 5th injector.. and so much hope... laugh.gif

he means that you should sell your car and just buy a real GT4. it would make a lot more sense.

if his info is rightl he's in Venezuela. to get a GT 4 there ( unless someone else imported one before ) means to get a GT 4 in Japan + shipping charges to Venezuela + custom expenses + new registration of sport car = a lot of money. at least the GT 4 would be legal there without major issues.

To legalize a GT4 here in Venezuela it's more difficult than kill our president!!!!
