Whats it make on 93?

 

Looks like 321/333 on the spec b. I don't know what it was with the lgt

Hey peeps so it's been few years now and 2 lgt's this turbo has been on. I've been very happy with the results got my original vf40 upgraded to a hta71 and have been running supporting mods and e85 22lbs boost 400hp on my spec b and 420 on my lgt 5eat. I wanted to let people know what this turbo is capable of because most people do not or even believe this turbo is capable of this. I have my dyno sheets I will post.411/421 05 lgt 5eat and the 2016 was from when it was a hta68. 398/406 07 spec b same motor only difference is 21lbs boost and cat in the down pipe.

Thx for all the input guys!!! Just got off the phone with cobb. I have the v3 for my 05 auto and there are gonna change the software for my spec b for 150 bucks! I was fearful i was gonna have to fork out and buy another one

It is if you are using the Cobb FF kit. (or other FF that utilizes the old tgv input)

 

It uses the old TGV input and requires different connector for 07 spec B. 05 LGT has 3 pin connector 07 spec B has 5 pin connector.

 

As for launching, I don't do it. My car doesn't see track or drag strip time and I'd surely break all the things launching a 5mt at 450wtq.

 

It is going to be trial and error finding the butter zone for your car/clutch/tires combo and will take tons of practice especially since you are new to manual transmission.

 

The only way to get a STS is to buy and install one. There is no adjustment on the stock shift lever/knob that I'm aware of.

 

As for the cobb ff kit i do not have one since the 05 gt was not supported. But i would like to now. Its a brand new wire harness on the spec b so ill swap tgv and harness to the motor swap.

 

As for the shifter. In the compilation of free mods there is a write up on cutting down the stock shfter a max of 32mm i think to make it a sts.

 

Also thank you for you advice bro

I'd bet there are a half dozen small differences along these lines.

 

Not to mention the small differences between GT and spec B like the tgv connectors.

 

I am using top feed tgv delets so the connection for that is not an issue i dont think.

Not sure if necessary but moving a motor originally fixed to an automatic to a manual you may want to add timing belt guides.

 

The motor in the gt already has timing belt guides and the guide above the crank sprocket.

The spec B 6mt is already good to go.

 

I thought so from what i have read.

 

At that power level if you are launching properly you should break an axle before having tranny issues.

 

Proper fluid and some beefed up axles should be enough in that area.

 

Short throw shifter, upgraded shifter bushings, stiffer trans mount... Probably where I'd start.

 

I read that i could modify the stock shifter to a sts. Is it the same as buying one?

 

i only ever drove auto cars so if you can give me a link to read or some advice on launching i would really appreciate it. I assume just use the ap to do launch control.

No im just looking into tranny mods specifically if needed for my power level. The motor and my coilovers and a few other things are goin to the spec b. I do intend to fully send it when tempted so just wanna make sure i can reduce the risk of breaking this tranny. Ive spent to much money on the auto to make it fast when i should have just got a manual

Bump

Clutch im goin with is south bend stage 3 endurance with stk flywheel

How much power were you pushing on the 05 exactly that it couldn’t handle it?

 

455tq to the wheels

What are your plans for the car? and what power are you looking to get out of it?

 

Daily/street drag. Motor thats goin in was 443hp/455tq to the wheels.

Hey everyone. As the title says just bought an 07 spec b. Need some pointers on first mods that should be done minus the motor work. I already have a built motor from my 05 gt 5eat that couldnt handle the power even on a ipt built tranny,hex mods bullet proof center diff and valve body and 3600 stall tc. I have coilovers that are going on the spec b also.

PE side feeds and all other supporting mods here on e85. Running like a champ for a year and a half other then a busted center diff and a most recent busted rear diff.

Hello everyone. I broke my rear diff 05 lgt 5eat. Yes i track it and it is my daily. The tranny is built and so is the center diff along with valve body and hexmod goodies. So the next weakst li k finaly went. From what i understand is im stuck with the r160 but can upgrade the internals? Can someone please help me understand?

 

 

 

Ok so im being told my rear diff is a type ra gear with sun dials with a gear ratio of 2.63. Everything i find says its a r160?

Ill be hitting the track soon gunning for the fastest 5eat!

I do use cobb but i had it tuned by this tuner using open source last time, before i got the v3. But i suppose he could still flash os and ill just use cobb for everything else.

Ive got a question i seen utc's post on changing requested torque tables is that something i can mention to my tuner or does he have to do some research? Do i even need to do that since ive got the f1? Also will that change the lag from manual shifting?

I have my center differential all cleaned and disassembled. I've got the bushings,rem and cryo'd pinion gears and input shaft all ready. I am wondering about having to reshim for new clutch packs?

well ive got to figure out now if ive got to take the trans out now to inspect it also since the metal bits probably passed through into the trans. ill post pics later after work of the planetary gears and the input shaft they are destroyed.

Does the center diff and trans share the same fluid? I'm asking because my planet gears teeth are destroyed and so metal particals are probably everywhere. So I don't know the extent of repair and surgery I have to do besides rebuilding or buying a whole new center diff.

Well got it running but it won't idle. Hopefully the tuner will be able to get it straightened out tomorrow.

OK pulled the timing cover off and double checked. The timing is good but I do have a broken tooth on the crank sprocket so that's the culprit.

I've got my tune from delicious for 93 octane for the first step in the flex fuel process. The kit will officially be out in a month or two.

Update I've wired everything up the gauge works I grounded it to the battery ground that runs to the left side fender wall right by the fuse box. But now I went to start my motor last night and I get no spark to the plugs. I have fuel and power to the injectors but no spark! Timing is dead on. The crank sensor worked before the build. I don't know where to go from here. I also have the ground for my defi unit going to the same place. Could it be I have to many grounds going to one spot? I'm gonna back up and take the grounds off there when I get home and try that. That's the only thing I have changed since the build.
