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

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.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
