AW11 SC to Turbo. Join the club... and here I was thought I was all alone. My 2c for a few of your questions. The the AW11 SC box is the same as the early SW20 MR2 gearboxes. Yup E51.. not sure but i think the later SW20 MR2s had a E153 Gearbox. Which had an upgrade from twin to triple syncros which makes a big diff. to the survival of the useability of your gearbox. They all mate up to the 4a bellhousing. Don't ask me about diffs though. Go for the 51 and when you kill it get it rebuild with the later model triple syncros. IMO the gearbox will handle anything a 1.6 can dish out. Hell they use celica gb's behind v8's so Toyota must have known what they're doing. The SC GB has higher ratios than the NA version. Highway cruise is about 4000rpm in the NA to 3000rpm in the SC. I've heard of people using the NA GB behind a 4agte and it handles it for a while but you kill the synchros pretty quick. Would be way fun with the lower ratios though : ) The SC gearbox is approx. 15kg heavier than the NA box. And you could probably get a streetable AW11 down to 950 dry kgs once you've ditched the SC unit an heaps of other interor stuff (ie. elec windows back to winders, stereo... seats, dash?.) Chassis rigidity is not really a problem if you just want to drag it cause the motor is right over the drive wheels, but the serious track dudes seek out the JDM AW11's that had no targa or sunroof. They are by far the most rigid... next the sunroof model like (i think) all Aussie delivered models then finally the flexi old targas like in the SC models... (great for summer but). I am prototyping a set of super-light fibreglass targa roofs. Should loose some of the weight from the glass. Though dude, the mr2 is a midship...! sure it would get good power to the ground at the strip but they are made for the track and big sweeping hi-speed bends. Nothing beats an AW11 in that department unless it's from Italy. If you wanna make sub 11's why not just get a V8 (Toyota of course). Disclaimer: I am only pretty new to all this myself, so If i'm wrong with any of this please remember that when you flame me. [Report message to a moderator]
