Basically as the title really. Looking for a suitable gearbox for my E30 1uzfe project.

depends which T5

Aparently the T5 from the yank motors can take bags of torque. Dont think the cossie t5's are bad though

Eh? please elaborate?

A mate's had one in his 400bhp saff for years with no problems at all, think it depends on how hard you drive the car really

They were also fitted to a number of high powered TVR's but I believe they used different gearsets/ratios

the stronger T5s came on yank motors i believe and were known as world class T5s.

the cossie ones are weaker I believe, and have a different input shaft.

Dont quote me tho, I only looked into them briefly

ive heard 450bhp and 400lbft is the limit and thats what my engine runs and its not poped yet, i expect to probly do one every 2 years tho with that much power...

Mongo

Not too bad then, what's the going rate on one of these and would it be fairly straight forward to make a different bellhousing? I take it that there are a wide range of clutches available? What sort of money would I be looking at for on that would take 400/400?

Second hand T5's normally go for £250-£300 mate more if its been rebuilt recently but you will pay similar prices for a rebuild.
