Does anyone sell a beefed up manual tranny for the FD? What do the big dogs here run when they're over 450HP? I'm going to get mine rebuilt/replaced and I want to see who does the best job out there that'll last through all the abuse I do.

 

From what i've read on this forum the Tranny on the FD ca handle well over 450 HP, but i dont have any practical experience of it though.

 

i broke two trannies. current rebuild with EVERYTHING new is doing good but i am having clutch problems again and trying not to damage my new trans with 2k miles on it

 

Steve Kan (pluto) has dynoed as high as 630 to the ground and I believe he's only lost one tranny. The stock tranny is pretty damn strong, you just have to be careful with mis-shifting.....

 

One tranny?? I'm on my 6th tranny right now. My new tranny should hold up 1000hp though

Steve

 

Whoopsie . Well hell, as far as I know you've only grenaded one tranny in the years we've been buds. Perhaps you were hiding the evidence from me

 

yeah i asked him before he told me more than one

what are you getting that can hold 1000hp ?

 

yeah, what tranny are you getting?

 

Still doing R&D on it....but we'll see how well it holds. If its worth it, we'll start selling in the near future.

 

did anyone complete that T56 tranny adaptor for fd's? i remember some one saying it was a simple steel plate which was in development.

 

Hey Carboy,

give some details on your mods, my man. 407 to the ground at .9 bar, as in ~13psi? What kinda turbo are you runnin', and do you have a dyno sheet?

 

1000 hp!! will you be needing that much?

 

Well, ol' Steve-o has dynoed as high as 630 to the ground, and he has a few things up his sleeve, soooo........
