Supra Gearbox in a FD
Hello,
I am a newbe in this forum. But it is great o lot of knowledge out there.
I have a question regarding the gearbox: Have anybody of you installed
or tried to install the supra gearbox from the MK4? Reason why im asking is: It is much more stronger than the Fd gearbox and can handle alot of more torque. Not to speak of its 6 gears!
I am from Germany and live near the manufacturer Getrag, and have some well known over there.
So I might be able to modivy a Supra gearbox that way that it would fit in our FD. As said have anyone of you tried this before?
Best regards Michael

CLR Motorsports in Miami has a Supra gearbox in an FD. He makes a bellhousing adapter and I'm assuming, everything else needed for the conversion. It's being used in a 20B conversion.

Curious - isnt the rev-limited top speed of a RX-7 in the 160s? (as far as mph goes)
Do you have a giant single and do top speed runs on the autobahn? LOL

You are totaly correct!

Supra's 6th is .793
How much top end do you really expect? You only really gain a gear between 2nd and 3rd...kinda.
1st: 3.827
2nd: 2.360
3rd: 1.685
4th: 1.312
5th: 1.000
6th: 0.793
1 - 3.483
2 - 2.015
3 - 1.391
4 - 1.000
5 - 0.806
Also, I was under the impression that the FD trannies are pretty damn strong.

the supra bx with a 3.9 rear end might be a nice set up for for high speed. almost the same low speed gears, then more up top.

thanks for the answers.
Yes me main aim is top speed but on the other hand i thinke the supragearbox is much more stiffer.
@ Batman: Your correct at 8000 rpm your around 300 kmh~ 185 mph according to speedometer. I drove it by my self would say it´s a littlebit fast.
on the otherhand as I told I live near getrag the manufacturer of the gearbox
they can do me a custome gearratio as i like
