has it been turbocharged?

[v8soarer]

Not yet. Will have a twin turbo setup completed in the next couple of weeks.

I've already done the same thing. I had the option to go a supra box (non-tubro) or a soarer 2.5 twin tubro box. The supra box was cheap. I ended destroying that in about 2 months. It happenend at low revs, lots of talk passing through it, 3rd gear went BANG. I looked into the soarer box. I was thinking because they are both 200kw. But be warned that gearbox also hates lots of torque at low revs. The v8 has lots more torque at 1000-2000rpm then the 6 cylinder.

It's been running fine for the last 3.5 years but the R154 from the Soarer is stronger.

I'm jealous! I want my V8 to be manual! :(

[jessereed94]

what sort of horsepower and boost are you going to try and achieve with the turbocharger setup??

I've herd about people who get away with the w58 or similar. But the r151/154 I would say is the go. If I was you I would clutch dump. Be careful in 3rd and 5th. I floored mine in 3rd and I did it suddenly. I should have probably used the r151 but instead I choose the dyna truck gearbox. It's guts is pretty much the same but stronger still. It's made for a diesel so I'm guessing 700nm of torque. The only problem is first gear is damn short but it's still lots of fun. Heaps better then auto.
