So I'm looking at a few different options for more power this year/next.

The latest of which is an IS300 with some choice mods.

So, to do a manual conversion Im guessing it's a case of running either an r154 6 speed Supra box, or a w58, with either an adapter plate or custom/modified bell housing?

The r154 is a 5 speed. You will need a remote shift r154 from the manual soarer or the mk4 supra. The 6 speed will fit but will cost you daft money. Have a look for the v160 or v161. W58 should fit, not sure where the shifter will be though. Whatever you do, a prop needs to be made. I think the r154 and v160 will be bolt on, as they are both from a jz engine.

I think the manual is300 in the states was a w55 box, not sure about the details though.

So in theory, an R154 will bolt straight on with no mods? What about mounts?

If you had a remote shift, prop and clutch. You'd need to mess with the ECU to trick it into thinking it still had the auto gearbox. Mounts, no idea.

There are two types of r154, one with remote shifter position and one without. You need the one with a remote shift. Basically the gear stick is further back.
