Lots of sr20det drift cars....
" " s4 s5 13b gearboxes in rotary drag cars putting out big numbers.....
" " rb20det rb25det engines too!!
Obviously would need a replacement clutch but what else, as they are pritty cheap these days.
just thought i would put it out there
Everyone seems to think of t56, tko, r154 etc...
Looking for something stronger than a supra 5 speed with a overdrive or 2.

Not sure what the manual boys run as far as drags go... I'm interested in this one too!
options is what it's all about!

No I havent, I might do that. The best thing with the TKO is it comes in either .82, .64 or .68 5th gears. .64 would make for relaxed cruising. Have a look here for more details on tremecs websiteTiny: The tko is basically an updated top loader with 5th gear from what I read in a PSC mag that I read.

1..Tremec TKO..$3000-3500 aust ($1800 usd shipping..comes to $3000-3500 aus)
Bellhousing..new..400-500...good strong box will take 600-800 hp (Rated 600 lb ft.
2 Supra R154..its the strongest box Toyota make Rated 450 LB fi...will handle 600 hp..cost 1500-2000 Aus,bellhousing new 400-500 aus..
3 T56..$2000-3000...second hand..rated 450 lb ft..might get lucky with bell housing second hand..$150-400 ..will take 600 Hp..but need trans tummel mods,they r big and long..
4 V160/161 (Getrag 233 as fited to BMW 850's)..6 speed Supra[s and TT nissan GTR's rated 360 lb ft(very conservatively rated) but bu all account will take 1000 hp..cost $3000-4000..bellhousing,new 400-500..
Best value seems to be the R154..very strong box,fit in with no probs..supra's dudes are pumping 600-800 hp into them...
Once again,from what iv sus,if u dont abused the box too much.Big torque and droping clutches constantly will break any box..

the rb25det boxes are exact same internals as the rb26gtr box. strong, and probably just as strong as the r154, however i have seen some damage done caused by hard shifting. keep in mind the rb30et and rb25det boxes are the same, just different gear ratios.
i'd stick with the r154 myself, parts are readily available and cheap. for example 3rd & 4th gear clutch hub is the same as a toyota stout for f*cks sake, easy to get.

So where is a good place to source a 2nd hand r154 pref in VIC???? oh and would you just go the usual route of Mal Wood Etc. for a bellhousing for a 308 trimatic block???
Any rough ideas on prices for all this????
Got 200rwkw so no w58 for me.
cheers

depends how far you want to go.
as far as the bellhousing i wouldn't have a freaking clue, maybe try crs, they could possibly do one. however keep in mind the toyota r154 has a seperate bellhousing, so just change that, you don't have to change any part of the gearbox casing. as compared to nissan boxes etc...
this is now the part where i shut up :-P lol
