i was thinking of trading in my ix for an ix mr with 3k miles, the mods i would do is: fuel pump, 21 or 22 psi, catback with a DP, stock cat, intake, LICP, and a clutch and flywheel, rims, turbo timer, and gauges(Boost, EGT, Volt). what do you guys think?



EDIT: oh and a tune

 

You'll deff. be okay with those mods..the MR tranny is good for around 500hp.. also depends on how hard you beat on it though

 

i dont drop the clutch or anything, but my biggest concern is if some *** hole is going slow or being a dikk, i drop it into fouth and the tranny is gone

 

There was a thread about a week ago on this. You should be fine though. I was running almost the same thing up till a couple weeks ago and beat on it regularly and the tranny has held up fine so far. As for now I have a Buschur 3065 kit and its holding up just fine and yes I have dropped it to fourth to get around the freeway challenged drivers.

 

thanks man, cause ANYONE and EVERYONE i talk to or ask says its **** and it will break on normal driving

 

You will be fine with those mods, no worries!

 

thank god, i was about to tell them to stop holding it. its a red MR with only 3k miles, mine is silver and has 36k miles. but thanks guys, i just didnt want to trade mine in and then i tear the tranny apart, thanks

 

bump, any other people with MRs and no problems with the mods that ima do

 

I have an MR with more mods than that, And mine is fine...
drop it to fourth all the time, sometimes 3rd.. hehe..
Still have stock clutch, just no launches til i get exedy twin.

 

we ran 500whp on our mustang dyno, through ours...

and now the trans is in another car, with 450whp...

its fine, if its not abused...

cb

 

i agree with cb, it will last if you dont abuse it. for me though, 1st and 2nd are useless

 

Tranny's have torque ratings, not hp ratings. I think it's rated at 320ft/lbs. Jon at TRE built a 6speed for a friend of mine. He figured about 30-40% increase in torque capacity with a new shotpeened gear set and some other modifications.

Choose a clutch that's appropriate for your goals. Most twin plates have the capability of transfering torqe that exceeds the capacity of this tranny.

 

So what your saying here, does it mean if i buy a good clutch then i could break the tranny? if so, how? the clutch and flywheel i would buy is ACT evo street disc kit + ACT streetlight flywheel combo, would that break the tranny

 

well ima put up my 6speed tranny to the test with my 700-800 while i get my built tranny!

 

bump for my Question
