Can the 1fz fe gearbox handle a turbo
Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2008 7:11 pm
Hey guys,
Some of you may already know I've been considering fitting a turbo to my 1996 1fzfe. I now have the turbo and will be getting an A/W IC made up by the end of the month. This should all be installed over Xmas.
My question is: While I've not heard any complaints about the durability of the manual gearbox and mine has been faultless, what are your thought on its ability to reliabily handle double the power it's use to?
Since I already have a HD clutch, can any gearbox rebuilders out there think of what else may be a weak point in the box and can it be made stronger?
Cheers,
Nathan
