Manual Swap Feasible or Fiction?

Dude wasted a bunch of money putting C8 wheels on a 2.0L Supra and wonders why people aren't taking him serious when he props himself up by the self righteous "I am doing this for all mankind" statement.

He's already got a 2.0 with C8 wheels. I applaud the effort.

Wait why are you swapping the transmission to manual? I thought you could buy a manual Supra from the dealership now?

Some people like doing things. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I could have gone 8s for a lot faster than it's costing me to do in a Supra, but that's not really the point, is it.

I think it's an awesome project. If I had time and resources to give this a go, I definitely would.

I would think the ECM from a manual would be needed as well.

This is a good thought, but EAG already has a manual car it was put together before the supra came manual. They spoofed the ECU to read that it's parked which is fairly common with auto to manual swaps.

Should be noted that they also did so on a 2020 - so on a 2022 you would potentially have similar issues with locked ECU as you do for performance tuning I think. I wonder if you still have to send your ECU to Femto/Russia/Finland... @zrk any idea on this? ???

This is a solid point and something to consider moving forward.

Feast your eyes on this thing... This is the OE diagram of the shifter assembly for the manual cars. Which means no more modifying 135i parts for the linkage. I'll add all these part #'s onto the initial post today, the small clips and bushings I'll leave unlisted but I'll leave this diagram here as we know they would be a needed piece.

I also got the OE number for the OEM toyota driveshaft for a manual car. That has been posted on the first page as well.

For like 50-60k it can be done by going to the dealer and just buying a manual.

How much would a swap run ya, estimated, do we know?

Stop with your logical thinking.
