If you must have a w58 use a 2j non turbo [2jzge] item at 1000 to $1200 complete.its the best of the w58.s with double synchros and revised shifter [improved]
|
Second Gear on a JZA80 W58...
Second Gear on a a W57...
Where are the double syncros? I'm not a gearbox expert...? (if they are there I don't see them)...I don't know where that knowledge came from (I used to believe it myself!). For the time being until someone shows me a picture of a w58 with double syncros I'm not going to believe it! (I will write up an article one day showing the differences I know of between early w57/w58 and late w58...).

1) at this price will it be cheaper that buying a 1ggte front cut or will buying the wiring loom and ecu end up costing me more.
|
It maybe cheaper, it may not! It depends on what exactly it comes with, collecting little bits and pieces can be hard and costly...if it comes with a manual gearbox (regardless of type it is a bargain in my opinion  )

2) will it make the corona to front heavy. it's for track use
|
Maybe, it would be better suited to a drag car in my opinion , but there isn't any reason you can't improve the handling. It won't have the handling of a light 4cly tho...

3) What are the legalities of it. ie will i be able to engineer it cause i will still be using it as a daily driver. Oh and also, will RA65 and MA61 brakes be good enough or will they fail me.
|
Depends where you are in Aus.

4) does the 1jz use a W58
|
1jz-ge's came with w58's. 1jz-gte's came with r154's. w58's can be made to fit with 1/2jz-ge w58 parts. There are also aftermarket bellhousings available, but be aware they are quite expensive as well...

5) any warnings i should be given before undertaking such a swap Ie am i complete noob for even trying it.
|
Have a look and work out how hard you think it will be to get a complete loom...
Also have a look around the site, there is a gent that has a yellow rona with a 1jz in it (and a big single turbo) 
Cheers
Wilbo
