Any chance you know what a stock 4 speed is good for? I was looking at hopefully 250rwhp on motor, 400 on spray. Should be pretty similar torque numbers.
Do you remember what you were doing when the first one went out? I'm thinking I'll be making around 250rwhp all the time, and I wanna run a 150 shot on top of that for racing. Don't think I'll do much if any drag racing, mainly rolls and just having fun with the car really.
I would REALLY like to keep the four speed if at all possible
I know that the T5 from the zx turbo is stronger than any nissan transmission. Looking at the T5s used for mustangs, do you think it can bolt up to the Z bellhousings? If so then this is a sure way to get that overdrive along with the added loading capacity.
well the T5 really is not all that strong. I am putting in a 300zx turbo tranny, way bigger and stronger than the T5. Its going in with an adapter plate
For the 84-89 300zx z31 tranny the weakest is the T-5 which was put in the 84-86 turbo models. The 30a 5spd which was in 4/87-89 turbo models including the 88 shiro, its the mack daddy tranny. The 84-89 n/a's were 71c's and our known to be stonger than the t-5's.
is chris running stock engine internals?

Do you know what your compression ratio is? how built is your engine? forged or not? what turbo kit is it?

Sweet ZEDcar mate,
Gotta love a zed screamin at full noise in a confied space (although the turbo knocks a bit of note off)
Are you running an L-series? or have gone and bastardised it with some other mill?
I love a good dyno session, they`re great for testing boost increases and other tuning mods.

Its a 82-83 280zx 5 speed. He has an sx 5 speed thats going in. Why 3rd gear pulls? I don't no.

Some dynos can't handle the speeds of a fourth gear pull. Btw, did he swap in a ZX five speed because the four speed wasn't strong enough or what?
Racter125 3 years ago
yes zx 5 speed. Has best overdrive for the highway. Hes going with a 240sx 5 speed now for strength

I'm on my 2nd 5 speed. I'm not sure if the 4 speed is weaker, but it can't be any stronger.
