Maximum torque/power EVO X 5MT stock gearbox - EvoXForums.com

MALAXA · 01-20-2013, 04:41 PM

What is the maximum power and torque, which 5MT gearbox from this model works.
Out of consideration clutch! Usually it breaks down first and be replaced with one that supports higher torque.
How much gearbox hold?
What are the parts that succumb first?
What needs to be replaced to hold?
How often recommend changing the transmission fluid in high demand?

Diff pins back out @ around 400 wheel torque, I don't think anyone has actually killed a gear but the pins will wreck the case. For peace of mind I would be asking Jack transmission or Shep transmission for specifics they are the pros. They will be able to tell you specifically what you need to upgrade for your power level.

Besides the diff pins these transmissions are pretty bulletproof. People have problems with synchros but that is about it. I change my trans, tcase, diff fluid once a year no matter what.

thought you're suppose to change out those fluids every 10k miles.

oh ok. driving 10k miles/year. haha.

zelskeet · 01-29-2013, 12:33 AM

Haha yea but I normally only drive 5k a year but I still change them.

What year is your evo? and you havent touched the diff pins at all?

It's a late MY08, and yes.

The car has NEVER been launched, and I believe that is more important than the power/torque put through the thing. The car was tuned before it was delivered as a new car, so from day 1 it's been pushed pretty hard. Not sure of the amount of motorsport it's seen. Literally lost count of the amount of days it's spent at the track.

Perfect, I also have an 08 and have yet to actually launch it but i will be converting to e85 on stock turbo this spring/summer (auto-x season) so I was going to do the diff pin upgrade since ill be running a lot more wtq but wasn't sure if I really needed too a lot people say do it a lot say its not needed so I'm very glad to hear that you haven't had problems with all the track usage! Also just curious what turbo are you running?

Many and various...

The car has had:

1 x OEM
1 X FP Red (series 1 without the anti-surge housing)
2 x Precisions (fantastic turbo's... just more quater mile not circuit racing)
2 x Garrett's (both of them custom, not off the shelf stuff)

Currently running a custom Garrett and have no reason to stray from there.
