Derrr, sorry my bad. Looked at the mr2 configuration of the IC pipes in the pic and didn't read the text!

As it sounds like you are weary of doing the shifter mod yourself, why not call road and track (or other suitable place ) and get a quote to get it done, you will then know where you stand.

That package is still a great buy, even for motor alone.

Cheers

why dont you just fix the MR2 box you have?? we have done heaps of them
 
if you want to buy another box, be aware the camry V6 ones have some different ratios.
 
running longer cables rather than modifying the camry selectors,  is a dumb idea
 
it is very hard to buy a genuine good condition MR2 turbo box. unless you can test drive it before it comes out, assume any pre 94 box will crunch going into second. the later boxes are a bit better, but cost a lot more to repair if they happen to have poor syncros
 
we have done the camry to MR2 shifter conversion.  call me if interested 

Hey Guys, 
Sorry I haven't replied. normally I get an email notification when this gets action. I am still considering getting the Celica box. I was going to call around a few local gearbox specialists today to see if I could get a quote on the job before I go and purchase one. I'm told it's not an expensive thing to do so it could be a possibility. My gearbox is beyond repair. it's a standard 1990 NA mr2 box that's blown to pieces and sounds like a bag of marbles if you can manage to get the car to move slightly. I want the reliability of a turbo box. My dream situation would be to find someone selling a complete set of parts required to convert it from the NA box to a Turbo box, but have had no luck finding such a thing, or to be able to afford one. 
I am currently looking at two gearboxes. one is a LSD box that was from an mr2 but was converted for a celica in Sydney which after freight will cost me $700. the other is a celica box that comes with mr2 drive shafts and cross member in Brisbane which I can pick up for $500. Either way both will need some modification to fit my car, and I was told by the fellow in Sydney it only cost him $30 to convert the mr2 box to a celica, so I'm wondering if that's all it should cost to convert a celica box for a mr2. 
Again, any advice any of you may have or opinions on which path to take would be appreciated.
 
Thanks.
Cayn.

That's the exact one I'm looking at. I think I'm just going to go through with it and purchase it. seems like my best option so far. 
 

Why not try contacting to gumtree seller of the gen3 angine & box I linked earlier to see if you can get into contact with the person who bought the engine?
I wouldn't worry about the Celica gearbox comment in the ad because when I spoke to the guy about buying it he didn't really know what he was talking about spec wise of the engine. Said it had twin wastegates and a big factory turbo :)
I'd say it was an MR2 box.

So you have an NA setup and want to fix on the cheap? I would just find a decent NA box to put back in, they are normally very cheap. If you have an NA engine, the boxes are long lasting with proper maintenance. Some even run the 3SGTE with the NA box with success ( no clutch dumps etc).

Otherwise you will need shafts and hubs also, and on an NA I think it's a bit of overkill.

Cheers

I have a 1MZ conversion at the moment. I've been told many times that the torque of the V6 is to much for the NA box.

I know this is a debatable subject, but in the UK there are a good amount of 3VZ, 1MZ (including supercharged) & 2GR (Paul Woods!) conversions running the S54 NA gearbox without problems.. It's all about how you drive them, if your going to be dumping the clutch and doing one wheels skidders everywhere, they will explode pretty quick.
 
If you looking for a cheap S54 gearbox (just needs a diff) to get yours back on the road ASAP, shoot me a PM.

Appreciate the offer, but I just want something heavy duty that wont fail on me. I plan on tracking the car and enjoying the streets a little more than I should, so I think the reliability of the turbo box is something I'll need. I also plan on tuning the engine in the future, so it just makes sense for me to get the best option the first time round. I've contacted the guy with the gumtree add that was previously posted. I'm 99% likely going to buy that box. Just going to need LSD shafts, turbo hubs and turbo gear linkages next. 
Thanks guys :)
