Hmmm, I think there's a difference with half the propshaft.

If I were in the midst of this swap with burning questions, I'd ask a guy like Scott DeWitt @ Advanced Automotion, or someone local who's done the swap.

HTH

Thanks i'll check again with Scott. I just didnt want to overload him with ...

Alrighty.

So its finally come down to the moment of swapping in the 6spd. I sold the 5hp24 from the the A6 (4.2 2001 as a reminder which A6) and a guy is finally piecing together what i need for the 01E swap from his totalled 2.7 A6. I want to go over my checklist of parts and include questions ...

Inquiries I've had reminded me i forgot to post the engine/trans code.

It is the FBC

Hey,

So I bought my 2001 A6 with the transmission going into failsafe and no reverse. The car was intially going to be for my wife (she only wanted to drive auto) so i removed and fully rebuilt the transmission.

The A-Clutch drum was the culprit for the failsafe. I purchased the upgraded A-Clutch ...

Aww man.... heck yes. I've been waiting to see this thing back on the road. i notice your boost gauge is basically useless. haha what you pushing? sounds beautiful. I've always loved the sound of your car. this really motivates me to the supra finished.

So found out the issue.

got the trans taken apart and it was indeed the Trans pump gear. the splines just shreaded off. I contacted Transtar and a couple other places but i'm not having any luck in finding the gear, and a rear bearing.

Any help at where to source these would be great.

Gear ...

Ok, finally, sneaking in an update. Life has been stupid busy.


Just make the girlfriend your wife…that will free up some more time for you.

HAHAHA so true. its like life is CONSUMED by the girlfriend until she becomes a wife then things get into a more normal schedule. Being married is ...

Ben.... you need to post some pics of your work on the Nugget's bumper.

Wow, that is a lot of polishing and it looks awesome! Great looking car in general, I love the roots of this project as I forever wanted a Supra after seeing the one in the original F&F movie. First a MKIV and now I'm actually partial to the MKIII's and yours is a gorgeous example. Anyways, just ...

So, after about 3 years of driving the stock 1jz at 9psi i got a lot more power hungry and decided to get into the motor a lot more.

First, a little background on the 1j. From the factory these were well built. Aluminum heads, Forged internals, and all metal gaskets able to handle really big ...

Are those ID1000s or REAL 1000s? In other words, ID 1000s don't actually flow 1000cc (not even close) so I'm just wondering if you are using a full 1000cc at (3 bar?... 4 bar?).

I had my ID 1000's flow tested with the charted results and they were on average about 1015cc/min. I've never heard ...

I'll just leave these here....Ben's widebody avant and Josh from Quattroworld's genuine RS4 and S6 avant
All are pretty awesome to see in person which thankfully I've had the pleasure of doing.

This is one perfect example why i want an S4 Avant.

positive you guys have seen Ben's RS4 body avant.

Haha I meant de air bagged suspension. Allroad only I believe. Might be a reason to just start with the s4. I do like the 2.7t but would prefer one with the turbos already done

It all depends on the price. i mean if i can get one already done (well that is) then i'll spend the extra for something ...

Would be sick imo. Wife and I saw a nice low allroad last night and she said, "what's that?"

I would buy one that's been debagged and k04(+).

That would be part of the plan. The stock supra turbo had a "turbo" badge on the back and on front upper nose piece. I basically shaved all that so it's ...

thanks Ben, You need to get yours back on the road.

other note, just replaced a broken timing belt on our beater camry, new power steering pump. fixed a few other odds and ends and been heavily contemplating what my next project car will be.

The stipulations for my next project car is

MUST
1. Be ...

Happy New Year Everybody, My Resolution.... Finish the Supra motorwise to 600-650whp, New paint, interior, some subtle aero work.

Back to timeline though for now.


Very happy with how my exterior was coming together, i felt there were still a couple big things that would make a difference. After ...

It was rebuilt. Therefore there shouldn't have been any reason for it to go bad. Yes R still wasn't working. Hopefully it's poor oil pressure that caused it not to go into gear. The car wasn't driven a ton after the rebuild. I'm gonna do a solenoid check soon as I get my multimeter back from a friend.

Car is gorgeous Darin, Sad i havent seen this thing as i live just over the hill in Provo.

my heart goes out to your beautiful car Ben. I've seen this thing basically since the beginning. Hope the damage isnt THAT bad. GL with it. See you in about a month
