July 23, 201214 yr comment_617290 Yeah I wouldn't use a T50...Use the J160 that it's meant to be bolted to... Report
July 23, 201214 yr comment_617293 Use the J160, chop the floor... its a drift pig you'll never rego anyway. Ratios are good and close! Couple of guys in Altezzaclub race other cars with the beams in. http://z4.invisionfree.com/lexusaltezzaclub/index.php?showforum=39 Report

July 23, 201214 yr comment_617310 ? Use the J160. I've seen one used in a road legal car before. Don't know if it was done before or after the car was cleared for rego though.. Report

They also link to Bill Sherwood's AE86 Beams which is quite nicely done. Report

July 25, 201214 yr comment_617708 You will only find out when you do it... The further forward the motor is, the less you will have to worry about the bell-housing fitting. Naturally that will make the handling worse.. I think you will have to cut the tunnel to fit the J160 in there, but not the firewall to fit the motor in. Report

July 28, 201214 yr comment_618234 Well, how much will you pay me to pull the 3SGE out of my Altezza and drop it into my KE70...?? Then I can tell you exactly! Report
July 28, 201214 yr comment_618236 Ive seen J160 used behind 4age in an ae86 before so I dought it would be much of a problem. Report
June 16, 201313 yr comment_659108 Hi all, I know this is an old thread (about a year old) but I was also thinking AND have been researching the beams into ke/ae as I have a n AE71 csx auto, now the question I have is... Is the auto trans tunnel larger than the manual tunnel in the AE71? if so, would I still have to modify the trans tunnel or the firewall for the J160? Also what is the distance between the end of the bell housing and the centre of the shifter? My original plan was turbs 4agze with the jdm manifold, possibly a w58, as I have a mean diff built with big as ford brakes front and rear, so I kind of need an enging to match! haha and thats why the Beams and 6 speed has been going round and round my head because its good power out the box and would be sweet with a turbo hanging off the side too (later on if I so desired). Any help would be great! Report
