Darin it will work but you need the bellhousing from an R151F. Those cost almost as much as a whole turbo tranny unfortunately, so the "solution" really isn't much of one.

Hairy! Thanks for the reply. So based on what you are saying, the R151F bellhousing is similar to that of a G52 or W56 on the engine side but is drilled differently in order to mount up with the R151F/R150F. Well, that answers my question!

Glad to see ya posting more Hairy! Figured maybe you were out globetrotting for work recently. Had a huge sub-surface ordanance search project just finish up locally. You werent in Bremerton, WA anytime recently were you?


As to the rest of you hooligans...its Friday, good post for getting the weekend juices flowing and fun as heck to boot. Unfortunately I wasnt kidding around about us not feeling well....so getting all the juices to stop flowing is serious priority for me.

Anyone interested in the transmission should check out Craigslist "seattle" and search for Toyota in 4sale section. The parts are located in Port Orchard, WA. Prolly no ship since they are only asking for 2 bills.
