Does anyone know of a sticky for this or know if it is the same conversion process. A 5 speed is probably cheaper parts wise. Thanks for any info
The conversion process will be very, very similar to the conversion process for a 6spd:

However, the 5spd can't hold anywhere near the power that the 6spd can. This is why the conversion you're suggesting isn't discussed. The 5spd can barely hold the power of a bpu'd TT. If you single turbo the 2jz-gte, the 5spd will be one of the first weak points you'll have to deal with in the driveline.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
