How much power can a Getrag 5spd Handle

[HoldenMan7]

I got a VXII 5spd S-Pack and i am toying with the idea of charging it...
Roughly 200rwkw.
Just wondering if the gearbox will handle this?
I drive the car pretty hard..

I also plan on putting a LSD 3.7 in and an exedy HD clutch to strengthen the driveline abit...

Hey mate, when i first got my VV manual, i use to hell give it a beating, exspcially the 1st to 2nd chrip, and it held up pretty good aye

hey there whats up with this thread

 

[HoldenManDan]

the VS ecotec 5-spd had the t5...

Hey mate the VS SI Manual had the T5, the SII has the getrag, just thought i'd clear that up for ya :thumbsup:

So are ya gonna charge your VX or what? My VS will be hopefully sometime in '08, i reckon looking into whats involved with dropping in a T56 would be worthwhile. I saw one on ebay a week or so ago for 2K, came with some extras and only had 26,500 k's on it. Hopefully they wont be too hard to swap over!

Cheers

Manuals

Hey all, the T5 (Borg warner) box was used VN-VS S1 on the S2 they converted to the German - yes German Getrag box and still use them! then of course there is the Tremec T56 6 speed. We all would love the T56 but not all of us can afford it! I Currently have 3 manuals, a VR T5 a VS T5 and a VT Getrag - and from a drivers point of view the Getrag is the smoothest of them all! Yes they are all fairly stock - Paceys and a 2.5' the most extreme of the mods - but they all cop abuse and i believe the Getrag handles it best. Value for money lies with the Getrag - i'd never convert to a T5 - but for those with deeper pockets the T56 is awesome to drive!
