Did you check the preload of the bearing with the new lsd? I'm currently rebuilding my c50 and fitting a quaife lsd and I'm curious if the dif required shims and how the ring gear surface contacts the final drive gear. thankyou if you get the chance to reply

Always makes me happy to see a mechanic "finger painting" the RTV. It is a small step, but it makes the finished "squeeze" much more predictable and requires way less sealant overall.

Reasonable amounts of sealant!? A guy at work was helping us with a traction motor rebuild one day and decided he was going to apply the sealant to the bearing shells. We had to break the motor back down and clean everything again, as there was so much sealant the bearings couldn't seat against the motor. A little goes a long way 😉

What's better than an LSD? A sponsored LSD! Congrats on another awesome upgrade. I'll be interested to hear how big a difference it makes. That transmission oil pump is super cool. Definitely not common. I feel like I remember the Celica GT-Four having similar from Project Binky? Awesome filming and editing. Great video. My note is that instead of an angle grinder I use a Dremel and cutting disc to remove bearing races!

[@d4a]

Actually it was a 50% off deal and free shipping, but I'm still very happy as it's a pricey thing and international shipping for it is a fortune because it weighs a ton😊 I'm really curious how the LSD will behave too, I'm a bit sad that I'll be comparing it to the NA engine and that I won't experience the turbo without an LSD, but it'll still be fun as I feel like I know the current setup inside out now.

[@802Garage]

@@d4a Better than an email reply that says "Piss off. No discounts for you." Hahaha. I have heard the AW11 doesn't really need an LSD until past a certain horsepower level, but I imagine you'll definitely be past it now. Would have been cool to compare NA. Does that mean the turbo engine is getting assembled soon? :D

I'm hoping the assembled will happen this summer. I'm waiting for one more critical bit and I have one more thing to finish on my end. After that it's machining and then assembly.

Yes the e153 internals are nearly identical to the e51

[@k1ll3rvc]

Does the CD7 have provision for speed reading in tunnels or canyons? I'm always intrigued how GPS based speedo handle losing the satellite connection. I would think the ABS sensors would be a good option, if they're something the ECU/dash can read, assuming the vehicle has them (not sure if the mk1 MR2 has ABS so maybe not a solution here).

[@IIIRotor]

[@johnnyblue4799]

Having done that myself, I can definitely say that a transmission rebuild takes way longer than 17 minutes! :D One thing I do differently is to not smear the sealant with my finger, but leave it as it comes out of the nozzle. When the mating surfaces come together, that 'snake' of sealant will be flattened and pushed where it needs to be. Like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2esZ6mAl5t7h80

[@DJToneRI]

Nice. Any resources for synchros? All e51 synchros are no longer available through Toyota.

[@Britishdude1]

What about setting the preload on the diff bearings?

[@skatedeath2186]

Sweet deal💪

[@kaisertrinityt.m.i.s1607]

if you tear the box that much apart, what could you do there to make it stronger? or what does a gearbox need to handle big amount of tourque? bigger gears? changing the synchros?

[@d4a]

This is already a very strong transmission which is why I'm using it. My current transmission which is a c50 could not reliably handle the turbo turbo torque my new engine will be making. The main difference are the gears they are dramatically thicker and beefier in the e51. Some transmissions have upgraded aftermarket gear sets for them but they're usually very expensive. If there isn't anything in the aftermarket than you need to make a custom set, which is usually even more expensive. You can also pick up a lot of strength by getting straight cut gears but those are often very noisy. All in all it's usually a lot cheaper to use a different transmission than trying to turn a weak transmission into a strong one. The synchros don't have the task of bearing any torque so they don't really play a significant part in the strength equation.

[@kaisertrinityt.m.i.s1607]

@@d4a for my gearbox, i only can make it itself stronger. if you have ever seen the transmission/transaxle/oilcontainment-box on a SAAB 900, then you understand why

[@stephenbello1081]

Also the center distance between the input and output shaft is bigger. At the same torque, the longer leverage gives a lower tooth load. Theres around 15 kg more metal in the E Vrs C gearboxes.

[@stasisthebest]

god dammmm I thought biggest expense would be actually buyng wavetrack lsd for a mini, but now I see that ammount of work hours needed and a specialist willing to is also a huge problem when there is no car culture in your country and every "mechanic" either just changes the brake pads or the tyres.

Hello Fits in Twin Cam 20v Blacktop

[@stephenbello1081]

Why rely on GPS for the speedo? The electronic and mechanical speed sendors are interchangeable. That should interface and be scaled to work with your new dash. There might also be "spare" wires in the correct place to repurpose if your car didn't come factory fitted with cruise control. Other Toyotas (SW20, Hilux) had both mechanical and electronic sendors and matching speedos that interchanged. I never found one with the odometer reset in the correct position otherwise I would have swapped out to delete the cable drive.

[@d4a]

Honestly it's just so much simpler. Figuring out which parts I need for the electronic speedo and then setting up the signal to work with digital dash isn't simple and I need the energy for other bigger things. I also prefer gps speed as it's dead accurate and isn't influenced by tire size and what not. For example when I'm using navigation on my phone I always find myself looking at the speed there and there's always 5-10km/h of difference in every car I've driven.

[@stephenbello1081]

@@d4a I finally put my door card back together today so the car is officially over its rebuild. The speedo is of interest as I need to repair or replace mine. I do have an excellent Taiwanese GPS HUD to install, but Im torn because its a stock interior.

Cheers, Tim

[@flyonbyya]

Was that white car at the car wash a Toyota Yaris ? I own an ‘07 Yaris, but the American versions differ some from yours. Hardly anyone drives tiny cars here in the USA…except me…I have for 30 years

[@d4a]

It's a 2009 Toyota Aygos, smaller than the Yaris. I believe the Yaris is the same or very similar everywhere. I use it a lot about town for chores and such. I got more mileage and use out of this car than most others I ever owned. Small cars are awesome and tremendously versatile if you're willing to compromise just a bit.

[@SoulTouchMusic93]

[@erwinschmied]

Lsd for C52 transmission?

[@charliebeltram144]

Great video as always! Does the bearings on differential needs to be configured also? You take them off and install them again and the gap between bearings and the transmission body will be slightly different. That can do some noise or overheat in future. PS: sorry for my poor English, I'm from Russia.

[@d4a]

Sorry I'm not sure I understand. There's nothing you can configure in this case. They were removed and installed in the same place just on a different diff, but all the Quaife dimensions are identical to the stock one.

[@charliebeltram144]

@@d4a In RWD cars the tapered roller bearings on differential case needs to set up some kind of "preload" (to reduce a gap in this type of bearings which exists by design) and this procedure must be performed every time if bearings removed or installed. In the video the bearings just install on the same place - is it safe? or for FWD cars it is enough?

[@AlessandroGenTLe]

@@charliebeltram144 that's an MR2 Toyota, it's RWD (but yes, it's also a central engine, so the setting is similar to a FWD one in that sense). I agree with you on the preload check on the bearing, that's something that should be checked on the manual I suppose.

[@rageracing5614]

Hey man, great video. I really want an LSD! Is there no need to shim preload on the quaife? I remember inventing a few tools and techniques to install the stock diff to the correct pre load

[@d4a]

The shim preloaded may or may not be needed. In my case it wasn't needed. The mechanic you see building the transmission in this video installed dozens of them over the years and he said that about 10 years ago they started being so well made and fit with the casings so well that he almost never needs to shim. They needed shiming a lot more often in the early days though.

[@orangejjay]

Curious: Will the accuracy of the GPS-based speedo be the same as the trans-based? Isn't there lag with the signals? At least on my phone (which I suspect might be quite different from the AEM), there's probably a whole second delay on updating speed.

[@d4a]

It's actually more accurate than anything trans based,. Usually what you see on a conventional speedo is 10% ish less than what you're doing. I don't know about lag, but I doubt it's significant, but can't say for sure until I try it.

[@stephenbello1081]

Not as accurate when your in a tunnel. My GPS speedo holds the last speed and shows a tiny "signal lost" icon in this situation. And yes, our local tunnel is steep as it passes under a river and has a speed camera at the bottom of the dip.

Is a GPS-based speedometer legal where you live?

[@d4a]

All you need to be legal is working brakes on all wheels, working lights everywhere, working parking brake and acceptable emissions for your emissions class. Obviously matching vin numbers and non rusted through chassis and other basic stuff, but no one sweats the "small stuff" like non-original steering wheels, aftermarket wheels, aftermarket suspension, performance air filters etc. Classic cars also get a bit more understanding for stuff like that because people have the common sense to know that keeping a car like that on the road requires a lot of care and effort anyway and owners are enthusiasts who make sure to keep the car in roadworthy condition even without any laws. You can have a legal engine swap too as long as it's not something absurd and poorly made. All in all for now there's still lots of common sense and no nanny-state stuff which works in favour of project cars at the end of the day.
