Finally did the move and bought a build engine and turbo
i will install them in a week or two
is there something i should do/ look for in the transmission while the engine is out
it is 5 speed and the car is 2000
i will put new act extreme and light flywheel
anything else, to make the transmission hold better for longer with all the new power it will have. (Around 400-450)

Gears.

With that kind of hp you'll eat you stock ones like a cookie if you are the least bit hard on them.

FM has a nice set. Or, call a specialist and have a custom set made. If you really want to beat on them and not worry, cryo treat them. I've heard as much as a 600% increase in strength

the 6 speed is reliable for higher hp levels. how high is anyones guess.

my 5 speed died at less than what you are going for. i just stepped on the gas in 5th and the moment i hit max torque=shredded wheat. #-o

At that output I'd recommend a new gearset from FM/Quaife or Pfitzner Performance Gearbox. Or you could do the RX-7 TII swap. Your stock tranny won't make it far with 400hp on tap.

Supposedly, it will take 400ish Hp. Anyways, thats what I will be looking for with my car (the tranny not the HP).
