That's very possible and have been done using 300m but it's still very limited to the stock dimensions which really is the problem. Even with the stronger shaft what's going to stop gear breakage in the tranny. You will be only moving up the chain to the next weak link and wasting $$$$ in the process like others have done before. Just give in and do it right in the first place like some record holders have been doing as of late.
I agree the FD transmission is a weak point. I guess since most of the issues I see are with those making much more hp than my self, and since my freshly rebuilt and cryo’d tranny made it 1.5 passes ( 1 soft run and a burnout) before the tail shaft snapped I figure I might aw well rebuild it since I picked up a main shaft a few months ago.
My tail shaft snapped when it appears the tranny appeared to move (now have transmission brace right below the tail shaft) you can see the Candy Cane-ing in the pic
Who produced, had one made? I never saw anyone with one. How much?
I realize its all just a means to a end, the axles are a no-brainer so they will be in by the spring season begins, coming up with 4500 to get a gforce is a whole nother issue.
But if I could get the tranny to last a whole season on my little 465hp, then next winter go g force it might be easier to budget.
Would the case flex be that bad?
Thanks for any info

Dog ring straight cut.

My FD is strictly Drag, just a cage, Aluminum Dash, Switch panel. I’m way light in the HP category, but I’m not trying to break any records

Actually, great info in here!!
Cris, whats the most power would you put on one of the g-force T5? What other mods do you have to do to get this thing to work? Can you supply this setup?

The G-Force T5's are holding upto about 800ftlbs in 3300lb cars..
So i would say a mazda would have a hard time breaking one..

G-force got the entire package for a rotary. It comes with an adapter for the T2 bellhousing. Also for an FD the shifter placement is way too forward but there are ways around that. A couple of certain factory applications place the shifter rearward for an easier fit. It's just a matter of swapping tail housings.
So G force has a kit for the FD? Or they just have shafts for the T5 that match up with the rotary?
How come Ernie spent 4600 on his (dub question, I know he has a money tree in his backyard)
I think I’m looking for a turn-key solution, I always suck piecing stuff together, I spend to much, and always finish last LOL
Thanks

I replaced my broken axle yesterday in my cold *** garage. I decided to take her out for a spin at a local hang out spot but the rear was making noise, it had a LOUD whining. Today I drove to my friends shop and took everything apart. Turns out the pinion gear has a chip in it. Maybe a piece of the axle fell in, I'm not sure.
Either way I am ordering my new axles, the ErnieT special from http://www.Enzo-Racing.com in Long Island. He knows the guys from Driveshaftshop pretty well so if you guys need a set, get them from him. I also sold my current axles (the entire assembly) for $500 to offset the cost a bit.
