LegacyDan Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Anbody know what kind of power you can hit with the standard 5 speed box, i think its the same in the jdm and US ones, ideally i would go 6 speed swap but no money for that at the moment!

BAC5.2 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Depends how you drive it. If you launch it at every chance you get, or race the car aggressively, then I'd recommend staying not much over 330whp and 350ft-lbs. If you are easy on the car, don't race it, just do pulls in-gear, then you can handle a bit more.

LegacyDan Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 i dont think ill be racing it now since i had to get it re-built! but engine should no longer be the bottle neck since rebuild it will more than likely be the gearbox. I have a spare gearbox there, so worst case scenario i swap that in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyDan Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 i dont think ill be getting anywhere near 500whp! maybe 350whp max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris6689 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 According to my 8th mile time and some calculating mine blew right at 462whp and that was honestly taking it easy on the poor thing, running low boost and no timing above 4k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSFW Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I was putting around 375whp through mine for about a year, and it was still healthy when I removed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyDan Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 im guessing the jdm and usdm ones are the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnAWD Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm putting 400+ awhp / awtq through my '05 5mt, but I don't launch the car. It's been making that power for nearly 3 years and so far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I baby mine..no hard launches or power shifts. Road dyno shows 400 wtq and 370ish whp..5 Spd is holding up just fine. Similar story here. TQ more relevant than HP too. Driving style plays a huge role. ^This. Ive driven my car pretty damn hard but am a very smooth shifter, heel/toe, rev match and NO clutch dump launches EVER. The second I got it tuned I proceeded to put 10k miles on the car at 18psi. + on e85 more often than not in boost . EXPERIENCE MAY VARY. Overdrive the car, clutch dump, etc and experience WILL vary. Once M Sprank replaced all the bushings and mounts in my driveline it felt better than new again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
