Yeah, I have 9.3mm cams the are dialled in a bit aggressively with smallport gze pistons, so I wasnt very lucky at all.

did you ever dyno your set up? im just curious about the rwkw,  nice car btw,

nah, haven't dyno'd her. My old engine with these cams apart from that stock bigport got 74rwkw. I am not expecting much more than that. 
 
But I am not interested in chasing kw gains. since putting these on the car has so much more acceleration everywhere. its torque curve feels like its has been bolstered dramatically.

^^Wiso - great write up, reading thru you post, you state you used a Corolla C56 with MR2 Spyder Helical LSD with modified linkages to suit an AW11.   I too am looking at replacing my old AW11 NA gearbox with one I currently have from a AE93 Corolla Seca (4age smallport).
How did you go about modifing the box so the linkages are on the other side of the box?  It looks reasonably easy, yet some precision drilling looks to be in need.
 
 

You first need an AW11 C52 to get the linkage set off. this guy has the best write up. I  sort of followed his

I didn't machine stuff like him, I just JB welded a peice of 27/28mm internal diameter pipe onto the casing after I drilled the hole

The other method is to transfer the internal gear sets and diff into the AW11 C52 gearbox.
This is what I did with my C56 and C60 (6 speed)
