Built W58

[J. Cooper]

Gents...
Where can i go to find out about getting my W58 built. Websites? Anyone you would recommend? It will be running a Fidanza lightened flywheel and probably the PHR clutch kit. I want it to be able to hold 550hp on the track. ;)
Thanks!

dont think that will ever happen. why pay all that money to try and get it to hold power when you can just get a R154 and it will hold it fine.

Champion Toyota is the #1 rebuilder for V160s. You may give them a call and see if they can do something with the W58. I know they can cryo the gears and such to give it more strength but I dont remember what the weak point is.

[J. Cooper]

Thank you sir's. i guess ill just be more patient and find me an r154

[psisc]

please go get a r154 or better.im on w58 number 2.v160 here i come.

[J. Cooper]

Word, if you guys know of any r154's in excellent cond less than 10k miles let me know
thanks!

[armyastro]

wont find them with that kind of mileage.

[J. Cooper]

I knew you would say that lol but even if i find one with high mileage i can have it rebuilt for cheaper than a v160 swap, so thats all im looking for. reliability is key.
thanks for the input!

Theres a good supply of Soarer R154s in Japan, depends if you are willing to pay that much but that's where I bought mine from.

I just cant seem to get everything else like the flywheel and such :(

Shithead :-)~
Cant we just get them brand new or do they not make those certain parts anymore?
Im not familiar with the R154 :out:

Will do sir, thank you.

I've got a stock 1jz flywheel, and I think theres one coming with the gearbox too so I have a spare.. I guess they are easier to come by over here.

Theres one going on ebay now if you are really keen.

[J. Cooper]

Thanks Nick, i am trying to stay away from ebay as much as possible though, too much bullshit happens around that arena. Trying to buy everything new... i found an R154, still trying to confirm whether its the soarer or the mkIII... then onto the 1JZ bellhousing which i found at driftmotion.com ;) ...

[DrNick]

Yes I know what you mean, secondhand car parts off ebay is probably a bit risky :)

I have heard of people getting aftermarket flywheel from a 7M and having new holes drilled in it for the 2J bolt pattern. Has anyone here tried this?

[craaaazzy]

get ur 1jz bellhousing and flywheel from jeff @ champion. better price than driftmotion.

[J. Cooper]

Thanks for the help guys. hopefully i can come up with 1500 bucks for this guys entire r154 setup hes selling, and hes in SC soooo im praying.
if not... ill let you know to help me aquire what is necessary.
