Power/torque Limits Of T50

[Mr Revhead[RL]]

ok:

 

1 wasteing time and money with a t50 behind even a stock 4agze

 

2 ANY w5# box will do. look at the ratios for what suits

 

3 palmside are $$$$ and they buy it off me in the firts place!

 

the cost of the bellhousing will be offset by what you could get for your bellhousing, a-t bellhousings are GOLD. an ae86 t50 is worth a bit too

NickAE86 - Thanks VERY much for those links. You didn't have to, but damn I'm glad you did!!! :D

 

Mr Revhead - I agree that the T50 will not last long (I was thinking of it as an interim measure). However, out of interest I must ask what is the best price you can do on the TRD T50 Gearset. I will most probably end up going for an alloy W5* of some description. I like W58 ratios, but my decision will be based on price and availability.

 

Anyone - EOI on T50 with busted synchros??? Not selling yet, just want to get an idea of value.

Thanks for the link Nick, but all synchros on my box are stuffed, and reverse is pretty damned close if it's not already there. So I don't think TRD-ke70 will be that interested.

[Mr Revhead[RL]]

cheapest TRD one is about $1800nz.

Just got a quote from Dellow on the cost of their parts for installing a W5* onto a 4AGE/4AGZE. $495 for bell housing & pivot ball, plus a whole lot of other parts listed. See the attached Microsoft Word file.

Well, thanks for all your help guys. Due to cost I am going to replace my T50 with... another T50... for now. I realised that if I change to a W5*, I'll need to get a custom tailshaft. And if I've got to get a custom tailshaft, I may as well change the diff at the same time, instead of getting a second, shorter custom tailshaft further down the track. Later when I've got the money, I've decided I'll get a W57. I know that it doesn't have the steel sandwich plate, but I think I'll hardly need it for a 4AGZE. Thanks again everyone.
