Maybe im shit at configuring searches ... but does anyone here have a first generation celica with a 4AGZE in it?
Im interested in converting an RA23 i was goign to buy for rally/daily-driving purposes, and while there seems to be heaps of information regarding the conversion from FWD to RWD in terms of engine mounts, relocation the alternator/water/oil plumbing ... seems no one has mentioned the gearbox...
So, If I put an overdrive pulley with the SC12, what drivetrain would be recommended for this application? I'm guessing there'd be around 140rwkw then? does a T50 bolt more-or-less straight up, and handle that power.
Also, I had a bookmark for a guy that makes custom torsen LSDs ... anyone else know that bloke's address?
TIA

A T50 would bolt right up, but won't handle the power for long (especially if you're racing it). Your best bet is to use a W5x with a bellhousing kit from Dellows. The W5x transmissions will bolt into an RA23 with some straightforward mods to the transmission crossmember.

I dont think that sought of power is achievable with pulley alone.
