13b to t5 adapter?
i have searched for quite awhile(minus here) trying to find a 13b to t5 transmission adapter. would anyone have some info on where to look or buy?
i feel this would be a good upgrade for my 13b corolla.

https://www.kennedyeng.com/ they use to make one don't see it on their website might have to call them. But why the T5 why don't you use a TuboII transmission cheaper and much more simple. What motor are you running and what's your use for the car? There are plenty of cars running TII transmissions making over 400rwhp and they hold up. What year Corolla and what does the car weigh? I know in a 2nd gen that probably weighs a lot more than your Corolla a TII can work up to 450rwhp reliably. Also stock T5 will not like to shift at high rpms you'll have problems at 6-7000rpms shifting a stock one.

i cannot find any T2 trans cheap enough in my area. T5 trans are readily available in junkyards here which made me think it would be a better idea. it has a missmatched oldschool 13b in it and currently on 8psi of boost making somewhere in the 300-350 range. i have been using first gen transmissions but after about 4 months they start to make noise badly

another issue i have is when i first did the swap i gave myself plenty of room for the factory steering since i had not planned on going a steering rack in the car. well i have since gone steering rack and am forced to notch each bellhousing near the starter each transmission i put in. i am iffy on doing this to a T2 trans.
i should have designed how i mounted the engine better but now since i have my turbo manifold made and engine crossmember made i am looking to avoid having to redo most of these things.

Have you had any luck finding a T-5 adapter? As far as RPM is concerned I had one behind a 302 that rev'd to 7500 and had no issues with shifting. In SCCA club racing T-5s were being used behind 8K RPM Fords and they were fine. Just didn't last very long.
G-Force and Astro (look up an A-5 Transmission) make high strength gear sets and cases for T-5s that are not that spendy. They could speak to high RPM performance but I bet it isn't an issue. I was looking at a T-5 for my road race RX7 but the ratios are not close enough and 5th is in single shear on these transmission so it is not usable in racing condition. I ended up with a Jerico which was not cheap or easy. T-5s do shift really well with an aftermarket shiter
