Hi All,

i have pulled a worked T350 from a Torana i have that has rusted out, i want to convert from A340 to T350.
I am aware of the loss of overdrive etc.
Does anyone know who can manufacture Bellhousing for the conversion and also what reaction the EMS will have as it is only Piggy Backed by Excede.

Thanks

Might be easier to go with a solution thats been used before in other manual conversions and sell the T350?

Thanks Matt, but the Turbo 350 is an Auto.
I would not worry about trying to convert to manual unless R154.

However if people are running C4 conversions then why not Turbo 350?

I only know of 1 t400 behind a 1jz Supra . Dont know of anyone with a t350 at all .

As long as the t350 is manualised it should be fine to use . The ECU might throw some codes as you will have issues with Speedo inputs to the ecu and dash .

Thanks Daniel, does that mean the speedo will be incorrect or just codes stating so?
No idea on anyone who would be able to make bellhousing?

cheers

Oh, a Borg Warner box? I thought you meant a TVR T350 box. Aren't they a little primitive compared to the A340? I guess they can handle more power?

Hey Matt, they are primative.. but there is nothing wrong with old power mate.. 500hp old money horsepower is still alot more than new money 500hp.
T350's should be able to hold 500-600 HP no worries, the torana had a 383 stroker atc and twisted the chassie slightly and the box kept up ok.
the only think is the T350 are one piece not seperate bell housing, spoke to Dellow and he might be able to do it if we cut off the bell housing and then adapt one off a A340.

Big Job!!
