I found my typical sparkle and a couple of small flakes. Nothing I'm concerned about. I'm just going to run with this setup and use Valvoline VR1 20W-50 oil. If it gets worse, I'll deal with it or if I find something while I'm doing all of this work.Any shavings in the pan when you pulled it off?
When I started this swap back around 2005, the R154 was much more accessable. Ironically, I paid $510 (Datsun 510) for the trans with shipping. Now T56, TKX, TR6060, and many others are common and reasonably priced. I don't do drag racing, so any auto trans is out for me.Dope thread! Love the rwd 4g swap stuff. Another good alternative trans that is easier to source is a t56 as well as a turbo400/350/powerglide.. all would require adapter plate/bellhousing however alot easier to fix the parts/source/durability! Keep the updates coming!
Does your r154 have the most obnoxious 2-3 dogleg ever or is it just me? If you’re aoutocrossing it, have you eliminated that? If so what’d you do?When I started this swap back around 2005, the R154 was much more accessable. Ironically, I paid $510 (Datsun 510) for the trans with shipping.

It's not that bad. I do have the small issue of hard shifting into 2nd when it's cold. I'm sure it's mostly age and mileage, but none of it is that bad. I would like to try another transmission just to see if mine is that bad. I have no frame of reference for most of the things I have. I do know my clutch is stiff and has a short throw. That's about it.Does your r154 have the most obnoxious 2-3 dogleg ever or is it just me? If you’re aoutocrossing it, have you eliminated that? If so what’d you do?
I finally got everything back together and took it out for my first autocross event in over 8 months. The FP turbo is great and I just need more confidence when not going straight. The previous turbo was not easy to control. The FP 68HTA v3 is very linear even though boost comes on quick. I'm getting about 12psi at 50% throttle and I'm only running about 16psi to manage traction.
It's tough to say. I can try to do some pulls soon to get that data. I'd say I have full boost by 3k rpm, but that's dependant on gearing, load, and such. I'll try some 3rd gear pulls from low rpm to see what happens. I need more logs to send to get tuning help anyway.If you go hard down on throttle what rpm would you say you'd be at for 16psi?
Just trying to gauge as I can't install mine now that it's down for the year
