Hi Louis, SRD made and now sell the adaptor - https://www.srdtuning.com/product/srd-aa80e-bell-housing-adapter/ Same with the flywheel - https://www.srdtuning.com/product/srd-billet-2-piece-aa80e-flywheel-to-2jz/

I did wonder if you would be on here. ☺️

Have a Supra diff coming for it tomorrow, just got to sort the shafts and the new diff internals.

I did a quick walk round video for those interested.

When it dries out a bit I will get some new videos. Roads haven't dried out since I got it back!

The diff will be changed when it goes for its check over. We just wanted to check everything was ok before we changed more bits. There is some additional coding being done on the Syvecs firmware to help smooth out the gear changes, so hopefully that will be done also. It is having a vacuum pump fitted to help the brake servo, the engine doesn't create enough vacuum with the bigger cams to keep the servo assist more than a couple of presses. Needs a filler neck 3D printed to aid filling the washer bottle, it had to have a custom tank fabbed up. Takes a while to fill up currnetly due to not letting the air out when filling. Im sure there was a couple more small bits to do. When all the work is done i'm hoping to have it resprayed to. Theres a few marks on it now which is as to be expected with the age of the car.

Yes should have been IS-F transmission.

Hi all, I had owned a single turbo mkiv Supra for 13 years (so used to the 2JZ) before selling around 4 years ago but fancied something a little different so picked up totally stock 2005 IS300 Sportcross about 2 years ago. During the first lockdown period when I wasnt working, I pulled all the suspension and subframes off of the car and replaced all the bushings, fitted new HKS Hipermax Suspension and upgraded the brakes. The car then went down to SRD Tuning to carry out the engine and transmission work. The engine was totally stripped and rebuilt (rods, pistons, cams etc), a custom SRD exhaust manifold was made and fitted with a Precision 6870 turbo, a Whifbitz intake manifold was used with a Bosch DBW throttle, the intercooler was custom made to fit behind the bumper (its very tight behind there!). Lastly the stock auto transmission was removed and a AA80E 8 speed transmission from the Lexus LFA was fitted. The engine and transmission is all controlled by a Syvecs ECU. Still a few bits to sort when it goes back for an oil change and checkover, but its a blast to drive with the rapid gear changes. Thanks to Ash @ SRD for the video.
