Hey guys I am having my engine rebuilt to a 2.3 in the next few weeks and a GT35r turbo fitted. I am just wondering have any of you guys running big power had any issues with your gearboxes, diffs or transfer boxes blowing?

 

I've got 530whp and its been taking a helluva beating with no problems as of yet. I'm not very nice to my gearbox...but its nice to me for now

 

anyone else like to comment?

 

I would like to know the answer to this question also..I am about to buy an Evo..And coming from Subaru,and their trannies made o glass..I want to make sure im not gonna run into the same problem..Thanks..Justin.

 

Come on guys with so many of you guys running big turbos and high power surely you could comment.

 

there are people running deep 10's with the stock tranny, TC, axles.......

I think a lot of it comes down to how you drive the car..........

If your car is stock and you decide to do 7k clutch drops something in your drive train will most lilely fail........

If your car is running 550whp and you decide to do some 7k clutch drops.............chances are you'll have the same result.....only faster.

But, if driven properly and with a little luck, the drivetrain should be fine....and if it's not..............there are always upgrades.


FYI.......I ran my car with 480whp for about a year and a half with no drivetrain issues.

 

I haven't had any problems yet.

 

no problems here..

I dont launch my car just drive it hard after the car starts to move

 

I actually run my car at the strip and I have no problems yet. I do have a 3rd gear grind sometimes but I had that way before I had a big turbo.
