Ok I blew my RB20DET 5spd man box at local drags using slicks

Whats the best way to get strengh so this wont happen again

now im contemplating in either using a RB25DET 5spd as they are supposed to be stronger than the RB20DET unit, Also will my RB20 clutch (exedy HD) be ok to use with the RB25 box??

or is there any auto boxes that are strong that will work, like RB20 or RB25???

I just dont want to go back out again and destroy another gearbox on slicks...

Do in this order

1.Bin RB20det box

2.Laugh at how small it is

3.Find RB25det box

4.Admire it's fatness and giggle like a school girl

But seriously it will bolt to the RB20,use the RB20 flywheel/clutch,you need to mod the gearbox mount with some flat bar,use R33 slave,shifter and the yoke or vlt yoke.Speedo,if it's cable I hear a cut down?vlt sender could work

How much power are you making, and what sort of rpm did u decide to dump the clutch at? Are you wanting a straight bolt up gearbox, im guessing you have an rb20 in a vl? what about the mx7? rb30et gearbox. You could always get anything, just depending how much money you want to spend. You could go all out and get a tremec tko 6 spd :rolleyes: haha

MX-7's are weak as shit too.

they are soo old they just shatter. I've seen heaps die here in Vic.

Mine, and a mates.

Get an RB25 box and you'll be fine. Just make sure you get a yoke with it.

whats the point of a yoke when they are pressed and seal uni joints and have to be scrapped???

I got a yoke with my 5psd but when i took it to the driveline place they said they couldnt use it. I think i ended up getting a suitable Mark William "V8 Supercar spec" yoke with replaceable uni joints for SFA

you can use em. I need one for my 25box to fit to my car.

tierh that or its the driveshaft... so i got both. :rolleyes:

been a while since my workshop has done a 25 box... as usually cars aint POS's like mine... hehe

i am in the middle of the same gearbox convert. All boxes seem to be from $1500 to $2000. The yolks as far as i know can be blended with the standard uni. I have a friend who did this convert and thats what he did and it seemed to work. Not 100% sure but thats what he said.

Are you guys still talking about a second hand box???

Why bother putting in a box that has had the k's wound up on it already, and god knows how that was treated. Why dont you just get a box and rebuild it properly with all new bearing cogs, the lot. Of course strengthened parts. Might cost more, but hey, for that peace of mind ...

and mx7's arent that bad, i had a vlt gave them thing so much shit, was on the way out when i got it, and was still going 18 mths later. with plenty of flat changes. haha

From what I have heard they are the same strength but the RB25 Box has much better designed syncros.

Yeah, I would agree with that completely, thats what should have been said in the first place by the other users.

;)

Tizzle,

32702 - 02G17 pinnion assembly

If they ask what model car say Navara. shouldnt cost more than $26

I got mine from Metro Nissan at Windsor... Those guys are complete wankers in my opinion.. Good luck ;)

    • It could be in the tune but in both cases it couldn't be completely solved or eliminated by some of the best tuners in victoria so I'm DOUBTFUL that it's in the tune or ECU but stranger things have happened of course. I've pondered that theory too but is there any theories that thinner and smaller ports overall would cause a turbo to spike? I would've thought it would just restrict it in general if it was small enough to make a difference. I wouldn't expect it to make a different at what is essentially sub 300kw at 4000rpm anyway. I think the next step is going to have to be the 6psi spring to rule out the idea that the gate is cracking open far too wide initially. At least that is the cheapest (free) thing to check initially.
    • I'm thinking it is skinny NA Neo port sizing and cams. Somehow.
    • -5’s did it. 8474 did it. Not hot side related. ECU related? 🤨🤪
    • Above you mentioned you only need to sand primer if there's an issue with it but with fillers it says the surface needs to be sanded to X grit beforehand. Does that sorta contradict that point as the primer hasn't been sanded yet? At the same time if I sand the primer, there's a good chance I'll expose the bare metal and I'm just chasing my tail at that point. Or I'll just use a sand sponge instead of sandpaper, it seems to be far finer in terms of abrasiveness as opposed to sandpaper. From what I understand, filler is like primer and needs scratches from the sandpaper to help it adhere to the panel. I realised the way I'm doing things is actually a bit counter productive as there's a chance after I put filler I will need to put epoxy primer again as opposed to putting the filler first and potentially no primer if I don't go to bare metal. Will keep this in my mind for the rest of my repairs.
    • Not without making up a new screamer pipe from scatch I don't think based upon the angles of the current return. Backpressure shouldn't be an issue though as the straight gate isn't affected by backpressure in the same way that a poppet valve is, and on top of that the exhast system is 4" all the way through so there should be minimal pressure if any to begin with.
