to easily cope with 400-450 bhp. dont want it to rough. want it as nice to drive as possible, and not make t much of a whine.

 

The standard T5 box. If your worried or you box has many loads of miles then speak to Marco about Bara reconditioning the box.

 

Nissan Skyline R-34 V-spec Box Will Fit With Some Alternations On The Housing.they Are 6spd And Can Hold Up To 1000bhp Easaly

 

rods runs a tko and been very realible afaik
and aint to expensive in aus either

 

thought a standard would be ok?would be more worried bout the diff!

 

is tko an australia company?

im getting the front diff strenthing plate and im not sure what to do on the rear. i want to get all the tranismission sorted in one go so i have no more worries on that side.

 

front diff?

 

tko m8 i have just had one fitted to my car speack to reyland

 

front diff on a "best box for 2wd cossie post"

 

 

lol my bad.

back to the topic of best box

 

edited because i am daft lol

 

yes you are daft and seemed to have completely ingnored my 1st reply

 

so where are Tko based?

 

cant you just fit the 6 speed t56 in?
seems to handle the 500 ft/lb in mine ok

 

its tremec that make the tko and i dont think there based in aus but i know there used in lots of aus cars and ive seen them in aus ford tuning mags and were alot cheaper than here but not sure whats needed to fit them to a cossie excactly but maybe if you can speak to marting he can maybe help? just thought it would be daft to buy it more expensive in uk and have it sent over etc etc.

 

depends mate. isit a straigh forward conversion?

 

yh makes sense to just try and find one local i guess. its gona cost stupid money to have the boz and then get it sent over etc..iv pm'd martin

 

im not 100% dude, but i think it is
and the plus side is theres loads of here

 

who fitted your mate? who makes the box?

 

just get ur standard box reconned you could source the bits here get em sent over surely some over there could rebuild it?????

i ran 500bhp plus on standard box did 0-60 4.3secs starts no worries

 

yh there was that aswel. or i was going to speak to quaife about one of the kits they do.

 

Ive used box below for over 9 years & 40k+ miles without a problem.

standard i tell thy!!!or if u dont fancy that this should do it!

i may just get my standard one reconditioned or then again gor for a quaife kit lol to many choices..

 

it'd go with a peco bb4

 

thats exactly what i said in the 1st reply on this thread

 

i know i know pmsl..

but still got an uprated box in my mind becaus ei can never stay at 405. il be aiming for that atw soon lol

 

i agree with you mate. at that sort of power its not worth spending loads of money on a fancy box. a good t5 is plenty strong enough. plenty of people useing then at 500bhp

 

with a genuine 500bhp and used hard i dont think they will last that long tbh.no disputing there a very good box for standard but it will fail at somepoint if driven hard alot and not pussied around everywhere

 

my box is alredi a bitch to change gear tho. never goes in gear smooth

 

i was told the same but at around 400.

 

there standard on the v8 holdens dude
the ford falcons range use them aswell

is there anyway i ca find out if its a standard replacment?

 

Indeed except he asked for a box that can take 400-450 not 500 plus it depends on how much ft/lb his engine produces and how he drives the car

 

We do the TKO 600 box as a bolt in kit...This comes with these brand new parts: box, clutch plate, speedo cable, clutch bearing and carrier, spigot bearing, rubber mount etc It also includes modifcation to the prop, belhousing and gearbox x member. Kit price is £2350 DIY or £2500 drive in drive out, both prices are plus VAT.

 

Martin is your guy for this. Mine was done by MAD but Marks not interested in offering it to all his customers. I paid a lot more for my box back in 96 because it was not available with .82 5th gear & had to have a road/race gear set fitted in the States that cost £700 extra. They now offer the tko600 which is exactly as mine ended up.

 

i also have had this box fitted to my 2wd escort cosworth and i will never look back at a t5 gear box tko as martin and rod says and for the money ther isnt a better box

 

For 400-450 the standard T5 is a good bet if its in good order IMHO
