 3S-GTE -> KE55S

Hi,
My mate is doing a 3s-gte conversion for his ke55s. It'll be wild!
Anyway, he has a couple of thing that I thought you could help with.
1) A list of importers for half cut of Gen 3 3s-gte.
This'd be great, because although using many a google search, I'm sure there must be some I've missed.
2) He wants to use a supra turbo 5 speed box. What is the model code? R154 isn't it? What other options would you think?
Thanks for the help!

The turbo box is the R154, but it will probably be too big to fit. Best bet is to get a W58, as with the weight of the car is will be more than enough (still treat it right), and many say that the shify quality is heaps better
Cheers

Awesome info already!
You guys are great.
What do you think of the conversion?
He's already got Celica struts/brakes in there 
He's planning roll cage, 'zorst, interior (gauges/seats) to start with. And a nice aftermarket ECU.
He's a mechanic, and plans to do most of the work himself.
Ooh yeah, needs custom manifolds as well, because of.. Something, I'm a newb haha..
Anyway, the car weighs like 800kg, and probably less with lighter seats!
This thing will fly!

will be a good straight line warrior...
is it engineerable??
so what has he taken out to get to that weight? i had thought they were around 850-870kg to start with?
the cage will add some weight, but tie it into the suspension points to reduce body flex.
should be a lot of fun

Well, right now it's completely stripped.
He's also removed the roof, and replaced it with a removable cover for convertible action!
It's not my favourite look personally, but it's done quite well.
Fun is an understatement, I think!

why do you patronise him?
he is just sharing his thoughts on a conversion that quite a few people on here would be interested to read about.

Maybe you should splash some water over your face and reread the thread.
A 3S conversion is not something a 15 year old could take on!
