E58 transmission questions !!, need all your input Options

[Culpable04]

I have sourced an E58 LSD transmission, I have the axels sourced along with flywheel, starter, clutch.


since is a E series transmission I'm assuming ST205 mounts should work , at least the rear, along with shifter cables. I know is not a popular transmission on the 6th gen but I'm sure some of you have valuable input on this.

my biggest concern are the mounts compatibility, if you have any other ideas as far as mounts please post, I'll be getting a complete set of ST205 mounts and a AT200 manual tranny mounts and hopefully I'll get something to work and don't have to go cu$tom

I know is a new path for the 6th gen, in theory these parts " should " work so I'm just hoping.

as far as my plans, I'm going with a 4agze engine, supercharger removed and turbo install in place, using an E58 tranny, I decided this path, because of different reasons.

parts are available almost anywhere, same series A engine, and I always love the size 1.6 L and it suits my power needs, I'll be happy with anything over 200 HP.

so far I have a TRD .8 mm head gasket, AEM tru time adjustable cam gears, T25 turbo front a JDM silvia, turbo exhaust manifold, I have to order a NA intake manifold, AEM wideband, and other parts I've been collecting for a little while.

the TRD head gasket will increase compression to ~9.3.1 which will be good for off boost driving, I'm hesitant about getting cams with 256 duration, I know is not too aggressive but I'm building this for daily driving, if any one has input of how the 4agze feels with 256 cams let me know, I don't want it to be run too rough.


Manny you still have to paint my car, so you'll be among the first one to see it after is done, God knows I won't post pictures of it without your magic touch. which will be done as soon as I finish with this, I decided to paint it after because since I'm not an expert I can scratch or bump things up during installation and scratch it, and that would $*ck. lol
