Oh and as for axles... I broke the inboard joint on my driver side this last weekend. I have a feeling the spinning and torque steer all over the road at 60-90mph prob did it in :/ Now Im buying the Autozone axle with lifetime warranty ;)

 

I am going to buy a camry transmission tomorrow morning
3.9 final vs 4.2. I will be installing an LSD in it though before putting it in the car

 

^ now thats what I wanna see... LSD in that tranny

 

ohhh you will see it. hopefully i will have bigger slicks by then we'll see.

 

that sounds like funnnn. a good buddy of mine swears his mustangs are unbeatable-- I'd love to yank on his a** lol..



Love it. Any chance of some speedo vids? I wanna see how hard it pulls once it gets traction

I plan on doing the same when I get my clutch.. it'd be a waste to do the OBX right?


What trans fluid are you all running? I just used Motul about 20k ago, and its been really nice and smooth.

 

Im doing OBX LSD.

 

What year of camry tranny are we talking about?

 

I just bought an 02. thendawg installed an 04

 

PLEASE let me know how it works out. I'd buy it tomorrow if I knew it was worth it

 

I will be buying it at the end of this month and installing it VERY shortly after. Shortly after that it will see 500 tq and several track passes.

 

I like it. I like it a lot.


Thanks man.

 

Only differences in the 2 transmissions are a 3.944 FD in the camry and a .731 5th vs a 4.235 FD and a .775 5th, and some have cast 5th gear covers instead. Personally been rocking the 5th gear from an E351 in my tc case along with a hand rebuilt OBX LSD for about 4 months ~ 8k miles now, perfect combo for someone with an NA looking to keep the accel while also gaining some cruise speed. Do 74 mph @ 3000rpm

 

Hey,just curious for those who have done the swap...do you now need to use the camry 5spd ecu, or will the tc ecu work fine?

I ask because im about to convert to 5 speed, but have a camry 5spd (wanted due to the longer gears, since I do alot of highway).

 

sweet, so the OBX has been good so far, im glad to hear it.. Thing is, I've driven almost 15k miles since April, I wonder how long that LSD will last


I'm pretty sure my car is at 3000rpm @ 80...

 

Ebay has used transmissions for $300? do the shifter cables and sensors all swap directly over? def. interested cause I'm boosted now and some more top end would be great.

 

ECU's do not need to be swapped

 

Wonderful! Now I just need an xb2 manual ecu/wiring harness, drivers side axle, trans mount, cables and shifter assembly!!

I drove a friends xb2 manual on the highway and just about went nuts from how high the rpm's were while cruising at 75-80!

 

So yeah, I broke 3rd in my E351 this weekend. I just bought another E351 from an 02 Camry with only 40k on it for $300. Im contemplating keeping the car down for a bit longer to put in an LSD and also possibly getting the gears cryo treated. We shall see...

 

f the cryo do lsd and run it on 25-26 psi

 

So I was off by a bit I know its an odd angle on the each but its just above 4k. You guys can ignore my cel too :p
