    Sizing the T5 input shaft questions

    I should have mentioned that this is a budget turbo application. I'll be running the stock SVO flywheel for this setup.

    Sizing the T5 input shaft questions

    For shaft lengths, the V8 T5 is 7.18 (shorter) but the I4 T5 is 7.41 (longer). The box i'll bolt up will have .23 of clearance lengthwise. It's not an issue. I'm a bit surprised that there would be a lack of people here that may have more knowledge on this. I mean, what transmission do...

    Sizing the T5 input shaft questions

    I think I might have lost some of you guys. Here's a diagram to better explain things.

    Sizing the T5 input shaft questions

    Aside from the SVO forum, this is likely the best place to ask I figure. For any of you 2.3 guys that have done an upgrade T5 swap from the questionable 4cyl box to the V8, how far have you milled the input shaft? The shaft I had taken to a local machine shop wasn't milled all the way to...

    Gear ratios for '83 and '84 Non WC T-5 boxes

    Sadly, no tags are on either gearbox. :( The only reason I can best guess what they are is due to the year of the cars the boxes were pulled from. I know the one I have on the bench is a Non WC due to the brass rings I found when I pulled the input shaft out for machining.

    Gear ratios for '83 and '84 Non WC T-5 boxes

    The '83 1/2 box is out of the car and sitting on my workbench. Can I open it up and count teeth to determine what the gears are? I've read about it, but i'm not sure what i'm looking for.

    Gear ratios for '83 and '84 Non WC T-5 boxes

    Ok guys. If anybody would know, this is the place to ask. When it comes to the '83 and '84 T 5 gearboxes, most of the information is the same except one factor: The 5th gear. I've read on Modern Driveline where it says the '83 1/2 and '84 both had a .63 overdrive ( Modern Driveline - T5...

    Looking for '99 caliper pistons

    3100 isn't bad in full trim with the spare. It's my daily driver. :D It's built more for for autocross with a rebuilt suspension and poly everything running adjustable Koni's all around on 200 ib springs front and 400 for rear with 215's on 16's. Nothing too crazy. It still out handles...

    Looking for '99 caliper pistons

    As far as power to weight ratio, a 51/63 T3/4 hybrid with a port/polish 2.3 making 300 horses around 5800 RPM at a weight ratio of 3100 ibs. (with me in it) I need good braking power. What cheaper then twin piston GT calipers? :) I've already got turbocoupe disk brakes on the rear. This will...

    Looking for '99 caliper pistons

    The cost was one of the reasons I went with these calipers. I already have new seals on the way and if I can go to the yard and pop another one out and use it, it would work fine.

    Looking for '99 caliper pistons

    This is a question in search of information. I actually have an XR4Ti and happen to be doing a '99 GT front caliper swap with SVT Contour rotors. When I picked up a set of used calipers, I found that one piston was cracked. Rather then use it, I was hoping for a junkyard replacement that will...
