ok so hear i am all ready to start the build for 400+ rwhp (7mgte) but im running into one problem. The w58 wont hold. as it is im going to need a new clutch to hold the new turbo thats going in in the next mounth. So hears the problem if i get a new clutch with in a year i should kill my W58 so i got to thinkin. with me this is a bad thing thinking that is. y by a new clutch if it means im in for a rebild on my trans lets spend my money in a better way. Lets drop in a R154! Ive only heard that is a pain in the ass to do but i want to say so far its been a breez. today i went out to look at pricing on a r154 but no i cant do that so i came home with one. the price was to good $200. i got it home and went to work. i pulled the trand out of my parts car and just shuved in the r154 and it almost fits with no hammering at all. i will do a full right up with pics when i done. as for now the only thing that will be a pain is the drive shaft but i will have a better idea about what i will need to do with that tomorrow. I know its long but im exited if all goes well i might be just a tune (greddy e-manage or s-afc 2) away from my hp goal.
