My 350Z --- Type R

[Bleach]

I don't think a non-WC can be bolted up to the bell. And if it could that would require a custom driveshaft.

 

These stock T5's have been known to be used in 350+hp 280ZX turbos for years. Something just came unbolted inside. It has to be that. I was at 2700 rpm driving on the freeway. I don't even drive the car that hard and its a stock engine at 180hp

Bleach, I just saw this post. I was going to install the zx turbo transmission in my Z. I had also heard they will take a lot of power. Did I hear wrong? The new engine in my car should do 250?? hp. (n/a). :confused:

my transmission did not blow because of too much power. (Doug was being sarcastic, my engine is stock 180hp)

Something just came loose on the linkage internally. It was a fluke. It could happen to any T5 I'm sure. I wouldn't be scared of them. Yes, people run 300+hp engines with a T5 behind it.

 

In my case it was just bad timing

:D Thanks for the information. This is my first z-car. I have had 2 510's in the past with moderate upgrades. They were daily drivers and did not get pounded on as hard as the Z does.
