I must say this site is very informative and very interesting.I have read some of the transmission posts but i havent gotten a concrete answer.I am from jamaica i currently have a toyota trueno ae110(like a levin) not sure if u are familiar with it.Anyway i have a 3sgte engine from the caldina for my swap and i am a person who prfers bottom to midrange power not so much top end.I have heard conflicting stories that the e153 (3sgte) is best for top end however there was someone in the caribbean who used the v6 camry (e56)transmission he said he didnt like it as the ratios were too short and he made his power in fourth gear.Others in jamaica have done the swap but i cant get a hold of anyone to ask about best transmission.I am wondering since many of you have done this swap which would be a better gearbox for drag racing(please give the code tranny and from which car)As i say i prefer a very quick car not so much high speed plus jamaica is full of mountains and corners so not much highway runs.Which gearbox is best for this

QUOTE(scothaniel @ Jun 30, 2006 - 12:28 AM) [snapback]450647[/snapback] Check out http://www.megaboost.co.uk/mr2/frames/techinfopage.htm for the gear ratio's of the US S54, JDM S54, and E153. Just for clarification: US - 1990+ Celica GT, 5SFE Motor = S53 or S54 trans. JDM - 1994+ Celica, 3SGE Motor = S54 trans (non-LSD) JDM - 1994+ Celica, 3SGE Motor = E56 trans (LSD) IIRC, the E56 has nearly identical gearing as the E153 trans. JDM S54 trans has a different final drive ratio then the US S53/4 trans. i think im finally getting it.ok i bought a 3sgte from a caldina motor(my car is ff) i bought aftermarket clutch and lightweight flywheel for the 3sgte engine.I thought the gt was a 3s motor .So now i have 2 options of gearboxes to buy 2morrow 1st is a jdm 3sge gearbox non lsd.I hear that these had a very good ratio boTtom and mid range power which is what i want(SO SINCE BOTH CAME FROM THE 3S although ONE IS turbo and one is NON TURBO will THE CLUTCH AND FLYWHEELwhich i bought STILL WORK ON IT?) 2nd option is i have found a jdm celica gt4 gearbox however i hear these are better for top end plus its a very heavy gearbox and my car is light and will already be carrying the load of the 3sgte engine |
