Ah that should be relatively easy then as i think stock internals can handle that or thereabouts. You will also be able to keep the existing intake mani as the kits available will cater for that. I would go with 1 of the turbo kits available for this kind of build and it should do the trick perfectly.

Any kits in mind? I only know of the cowboy job ones from eBay 😄

Seems like a good kit. No Chinese turbo crap. I'll contact them closer to to time. First thing is BC coilovers, then wheels & tyres, brakes, HKS exhaust, and maybe even a manual swap before turbo. But I'm not sure what trans to go with. Between a J160, CD009, R154... but the R154s are getting ridiculous in price now.

Can a moderator please move this to the "Lexus Build Threads" section? I didn't know it existed until after I posted this thread. Thanks 😁

Yes but im not going through the trials and tribulations this time 🤣. Just don't cut your leg with a grinder like I did and you will be fine 🤣.

Perfect daily exhaust! Just a little less exciting than I thought... 😄

Not yet.

So far I have the J160 gearbox, bellhousing adaptor, clutch master cylinder, slave cylinder, clutch hose, clutch pedal and brake pedal.

Just need the flywheel, clutch and the front section of the manual IS200 driveshaft.

Almost there.

[Shizukesa]

Finally, the LS400 front caliper conversion is done!

 

[Shada]

What car does a j160 gearbox come from and what bell housing adapter gets used?

I'm going to gather everything up incase I decided to change mine, I kinda like it auto tho I didn't expect the auto to grow on me.

Parts are getting rapidly harder to find and more expensive so I'd like to source everything now even if I don't convert it I can always sell them on down the line.
