Oh and as for axles... I broke the inboard joint on my driver side this last weekend. I have a feeling the spinning and torque steer all over the road at 60-90mph prob did it in :/ Now Im buying the Autozone axle with lifetime warranty ;)

Yeah, mine USED to be around 450 whp ;) That was on 19ish psi. Its now on 26-27 psi. I have the E351 in my tc and its MUCH better than the stock tc trans for boost. With 7200 rpm limiter (I dropped it after putting in the E351) I can go to about 140-142 in 4th, 5th should theoretically get to 200. The fastest Ive had it was 170 and it was a bit frightening haha.
What trans fluid are you all running? I just used Motul about 20k ago, and its been really nice and smooth.

Only differences in the 2 transmissions are a 3.944 FD in the camry and a .731 5th vs a 4.235 FD and a .775 5th, and some have cast 5th gear covers instead. Personally been rocking the 5th gear from an E351 in my tc case along with a hand rebuilt OBX LSD for about 4 months ~ 8k miles now, perfect combo for someone with an NA looking to keep the accel while also gaining some cruise speed. Do 74 mph @ 3000rpm

Hey,just curious for those who have done the swap...do you now need to use the camry 5spd ecu, or will the tc ecu work fine?
I ask because im about to convert to 5 speed, but have a camry 5spd (wanted due to the longer gears, since I do alot of highway).

sweet, so the OBX has been good so far, im glad to hear it.. Thing is, I've driven almost 15k miles since April, I wonder how long that LSD will last
I'm pretty sure my car is at 3000rpm @ 80...

Wonderful! Now I just need an xb2 manual ecu/wiring harness, drivers side axle, trans mount, cables and shifter assembly!!
I drove a friends xb2 manual on the highway and just about went nuts from how high the rpm's were while cruising at 75-80!

So yeah, I broke 3rd in my E351 this weekend. I just bought another E351 from an 02 Camry with only 40k on it for $300. Im contemplating keeping the car down for a bit longer to put in an LSD and also possibly getting the gears cryo treated. We shall see...
