supra steveo Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 i would like to know too but will a 5 speed box handle a TT lump BPU`ed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 i would like to know too but will a 5 speed box handle a TT lump BPU`ed? Another good question. From what i can tell they should be able to take 480ish. Maybe a trader can give us a price? And what to expect. I have heard that a 5 speed TT feels more like a small single.

JamieP Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 They wont take that much power, 480 is small single territory, they wont even handle bpu it seems, id stay stock tt if going with a w58. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugger, i dont know where i heard they would take it from. Might have to rethink the whole 5 speed idea if i cant go BPU, Stick with an autobox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beathacker Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I got a price from an australian importer "for a full V160/161 getrag conversion, you are looking at around $7k aud - this includes everything you need for the conversion, from flywheel to diff." I think this sounds god what do you guys think ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w41k3r Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 why not the old 5 speed is it the r154 surely there in your price wise and they can handle the power you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 why not the old 5 speed is it the r154 surely there in your price wise and they can handle the power you want Hmm, i have no idea how hard that would be to put in or what it would cost. Again i await Dude, or keron to post up what it would take cash wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w41k3r Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 i heard they go for around £300 but fiiting and parts required would need researching you never know you might get lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JODY T Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 (edited) my mate has a bpued 5speed Na, He drives it like a nutter has done drifting days etc and genrally abuses it to the point where he wants to blow up the box.. As of yet he cant (can been converted for over a year now) i guess it has something to do with the condition of the box... I have taken out some totally knackered 6speed boxes out of standard TT cars before.. These boxes can take 1000hp so why are they knackered? Prob coz they have been abused.. Abuse anything and itll break in the end when i converted my old aero i paid 500 for the kit.. some more for a new tunnel and flywheel bolts.. If your going TT youll need a clutch.. but a good used one that you get with the kit will be fine for an NA and i bet 500 to fit at a guess?! It can be done in a day if all the parts are available Edited January 23, 2010 by JODY T (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 see the thing that gets me right is the w58 is rated around 350-400 max BUT a guy in the states did his entire mapping session on 1 up to 600 ish HP Oviously on the street thats probly totaly different matter but to have 1 hold that power on a dyno impresses me.

keron Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 i have a customer with a tt single turbo on it...curently running approx 500 horses...5 speed works fine on it and he abuses it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 i have a customer with a tt single turbo on it...curently running approx 500 horses...5 speed works fine on it and he abuses it... I think its Trig who has a 5 speed in his and he drives that hard!!! Its BPU and does pull like a little single, I think it depends on how you abuse it, if you want to hold it on the line at the pod with slicks and anti lag at 6000rpm its gonna break, be sensible off the line and cane it thru the gears and it will be fine, 5th is pretty overdriven so it quite long legged with a 6 spd diff in. Fitting wise about the same as a 6spd which I budget about £750 for IF i am supplying the kit. Bank on a good 2 days work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted January 23, 2010 Author Share Posted January 23, 2010 Thanks for that guys. I think i will head the 5 speed route. But maybe not BPU. Will send pms to the people in the know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 a good clutch should hold bpu levels easily i would of thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
