1UZ with Supra tranny

[driftjunke]

Does anyone make an adapter plate, or what is needed to mate a 97 Supra NA manual tranny up to a 1UZFE?

Thank you

Dellow have this adapter in their catalog. CRS may make it as well. Do a search on this site with either of these names and you should find lots of info. One word of caution, your W58 box isn't the most robust tranny out there, and there's a good reason Toyota put the 6spd Getrag behind the 2JZ-GTE, instead of the W58.

The 1UZ motor produces more torque at low RPM than the 2JZ-GTE, so with the W58 you may have some problems with 1st & 2nd gear synchros, etc.

Eric are you making an adaptor plate for the W58 5spd too?

That's what he's looking for.

Eric, how much for this adapter plate, we are pricing out a 1UZFE Twin turbo setup with the W58 for the time being.

Thanks

so im assuming that you need the auto bell housing. so this wont fit with a cressida w- series trans?

If the Cressida came with a 1jz, then it will fit.

So, what flywheel/clutch/pressure plate setup will work using your adapter on a Supra W58? I'm assuming you'd need a specific thickness flywheel... Can you source all the bits to hook up the trans to the engine? How about the longer bolts needed?

 

[ChrisV]

I definitely need that flywheel clutch setup, though is it going to be primarily focussed toward racing? I'm doing a relatively stock 1UZ in my '63 Mercury Comet, just as a comfortable cruiser engine. I'd like a relatively light clutch action.

Hi Chris,

Right, I'm all for light pedal pressure also. Luckily the multidisk type clutches inherently have a very light pedal pressure. I have an HKS Triple Plate and you can push the pedal in with your hand.

Would it work with an essentially stock clutch and pressure plate setup? As you can tell from the other thread, this is essentially a shoestring project budget.

 

[cowboy bebop]

It wouldn't work with the clutch and flywheel that come with the W58 without machining the flywheel. That's always an option, but it looks like the flywheel / clutch kits Chris has sourced will be very affordable.

Cool. That would be great news.

This project has been 15 years in the making. I don't want it to take another 15 years to get it on the road... hehehehe

 

[mmmjesse]

So will the adapter work on my stock cressida manual transmission?

 

[podge]

hi there was wondering if you make an adapter plate for the 1uz to a toyota e153 as found in the mr2 turbos all the best podge

 

[Zuffen]

Podge,

Cowboy won't be available for a week or so. You will need to wait a while for an answer to that question.

adaptor plates

whats the chance of getting cad drawings for these??

 

[cowboy bebop]

Sorry spadger, they are proprietary.

Got the adaptor from Eric Tuesday. Now I can bolt the engine and W58 trans together, and mock it up in the chassis of the Comet.

Still will need a decent, cheap flywheel clutch package, however...

 

[BARRY]

got my adapter like wednesday of this week.

looks great. a quality product. bolt heads are even painted to make it eaiser to follow the simple instructions instead of the usual instructions describing bolts by length instead.

its a shame i won't be able to use the adapter just yet, but that thing is waiting to be put into good use when the time comes. i will definately be buying more products from eric in the future!

Any fitting issues with the dellow plate and running a twin or triple plate clutch?
