PM BlownVs for exact numbers


But he was running a turbo on his, and with more than 200kw at the rears, held up perfectly fine.

The clutch however, always seemed to play up when Skye was driving, wierd that

Is that 200rwkw with the Getrag or the t56?

Pretty impressive if the gertag held up with 200rwkw!

Yeah, the clutch would be sumfin to upgrade probably...

im gettin slippage atm and thats only running about 170ish at the fly!! lol

I think there is a black VY ute V6 on here that is running 355rwhp through the getrag M35. I'm sure with a decent clutch you won't have too many problems. Maybe look into a short shifter with positive stop to reduce over throw and rooting the syncros.

As for your slippage, I would put that down to crap factory clutch. When you upgrade your clutch you will have to replace the flywheel as well cause the getrag run a dual mass flywheel from factory.

The box is the standard box used on a series 2 VS V6, so i assume thats the getrag, not the T56. (haha, it was only a 5 speed, so of course it was)

The clutch wasn't standard tho. Like i said, PM BLOWNVS and ask him the specs, cause i only drove it, never worked on it.

The life of the Getrag seems to have less to do with outright power than with abuse. A customer of ours has been hard on his and yep destroyed 1st gear, however no one else has yet so I suspect it more driver related than power related. We have taken the precaution of informing people there could be an issue but maybe we are being mislead by just the one instance we know about at this time.

Hope that helps

So if you stop dropping the clutch from 5grand it should be ok?

 

[fmlycar]

Make sure you got enough oil in the box too. From what I know and have experienced the M35 will use oil. Look after it and keep it serviced and you should be fine.

Would ther ebe any hassles in changing to the t5 from a getrag?

 

[Jesterarts]

im guess ing just an adapter plate... not even that...
Cause the VS ecotec 5-spd had the t5...

Yeah, i don;t often find myself dropping it from 5G lol!!

Once in a blue moon of the lights i light them up from about 3000rpm

But i regularly drop it into 2nd @ 4500rpm... that would probably kill it...lol
