In a streetable configuration, the most you will get out of your engine is about 200 lb-ft torque, which should be fine with the stock drivetrain. If you are planning on swapping in a 20B, or V8, or highly-boosted 13BT, then you will want to upgrade to the TII drivetrain or maybe even something stronger. If you have big power in mind, they you should consider selling your car and buying a Turbo II, which will save time and money when compared to upgrading yours to that spec. If your car really is a GTUs, then you will have no difficulty selling it on this forum if it is in unmolested form.
