    T5 Trans Build up Questions

    I am in the planning stages of beefing up the trans to hold the power from my turbo setup.

    I do not think i will be able to afford a GForce but my buddy is an engineer who has experience rebuilding T5s. My question is, with the correct parts, would I be able to match the durability of a Gforce?

    I would buy the:

    billet 3-4 synchro keys
    Brinze Fork Pads
    bronze shifter bushing
    Hardened Input shaft (Not sure where to buy this)

    Parts would only be like $200.

    What do you guys think? What else would I need?
    SLP CAI, RK Sport headers, P&Ped heads and intake, GT2 cam, Upgraded valvetrain, Z28 rear axle with 4.10s Tx Spd tune, Z06 rims, 2.5\" exhaust to flowmaster, 160* thermo, B&M ripper, upgraded ignition, rockford fosgate 12\" with sony xplode amp and HU.

    You can always try it, G-FORCE sells their parts also , so could try it out. A clutch that holds the power would be the next problem also ,esp if its a DD it might get alot of chatter with the higher stages of clutches. Good luck.

        I am installing a Centerforce here shortly so the clutch wont be an issue, but once the clutch holds the power......kaaaaaboom goes the trans, I can see it now.

        Thanks for the reply, so there are no others parts I would need to beef the trans up, just whats listed above?

          why not just get a stage 1, keep the trans the same, and replace clutches as needed. I am sure you wont go through clutches hella quick. And its gonna be the cheapest point of wear. because the next points are trans and rear end

            I already have a Z28 rear end. The weakest link will be the trans. I am not about to start replacing clutches 3 times a year. Thats a big job.

            Good suggestion tho

                Hey Fondle. Is your trans holding the power on your car? You have a turbo right?

                If I built the trans as listed above how much would it hold?

                  its held up so far, its only been driven around 600miles since its been built though

                  they guy who built it said it would be good for 500, but who knows
