NO NO.
THE RX-7 transmission will be much stronger
The RX-8 transmission is not design to hold the TQ of turbo
and these type of transmission dont got very good rep use in high TQ CAR
(IS200 6 Speed. S15 6speed. mitata 6 SPEED. are all made by similar parts)
oh if you have money G-force T5 is cheapest you can buy

search this forum, you'll see plenty of proof stating the use of a stock turbo trannie is mucho better than any of the non-turbo ones, including the rx-8. i plan to upgrade to a stock tII trans.

As someone else already stated... even with little or NO mods to an RX-8, it breaks transmissions. Many people run 4, 5, or even 600 rwhp cars with no transmission problems using the RX-7 transmission.

This is one of the strongest manual transmissions used by Mazda.
The RX-8 is not derived from this lineage.
As some have mentioned, it's the RX-8 transmission is more closely related to the Miata transmission (which is not as strong as the R-Type version).

Judge Ito broke the rx8 tranny twice trying to get his RX8 into the 13's......and even after busting 2 transmissions he still couldnt get that pig into the 13's. Granted he was abusing it.....but a RX7 trans would last with major drag strip abuse WELL into the 10's and still be reliable.

It's because manufacturers (in a NA configuration)only design transmissions to handle the hp and torque levels of the engines they are matted with. Those transmissions will always be much weaker that any transmission designed for FI, which the Rx8 isn't currently designed for.
