7K Gearbox?

[sturo124]

hey guys, first time post. I'm currently in the market for a ke70, i just went to look at one and it had a k7 turbo in it but the gearbox was grinding alot, I'm not sure what the reason. hoping someone hear could help? i think its from all the torque going through a k5 gearbox and the gears mashing together (i honestly have no idea :bash: ) if i do buy it what sort of gearbox would it need, I'm assuming w50? will this bolt up to the k7 and where can i get one in canberra?

 

cheers, stuart.

7K turbo setup will rape a k40 or k50 gearbox with ease. The previous owner/seller is crazy to even think it would hold that type of torque and power.

As for what gear box to run, you're on the ball. Run a W50 steel case gearbox, however you will need a K-W bellhousing for it to fit up to the 7K

 

Cheers, Jake.

cheers for the quick reply, so is the w50 just an old mechanical celica 5 speed? I'm new to the whole toyota thing

That's the one, pull it from a Celica.

cheers mate, how hard is it to find a K-W bellhousing and what would i expect to pay for it? sorry about all the beginner questions.

I've actually got one for sale at the moment, as well as a W50 ;)

I'm located in Victoria though.

From the wiki

 

A KM36 or KR3# series townace van has the K-W bellhousing, these will bolt up to a W series supra alloy box with only a change from cable to hydraulic clutch.

theres a 99% chance I'm going to buy this car expect some pics soon :thumbsup: now to all the guru; ive spent the day researching about what i need to do to fix this, it seems reasonably straight forward. but I'm going to throw a spanner in the works, locally ive found a whole ke70 for a ridiculously low price to buy as a parts car but it comes with a 4 speed corolla box, the box in the car currently is a 5 speed. will the 4 speed bolt straight up and will it do untill i can save up for the celica box on the condition i don't flog it? and yes, I'm planning on taking the turbo off untill i can afford the celica box.

 

cheers, stuart.

Yeah it'll work. Just don't thrash the car.

Don't remove the turbo, just don't drive like a dh!

[sturo124]

in canberra to get the rego transferred it has to go over the pits :rant: so the turbo has to come off regardless because its not engineered :bash:
