t56 on a 2jz

[YGO 08]

hey guys ive got a 2jz in a cressida and wanted to know how strong are these t56 gearboxes??? im pushing 500rwhp and once tuned next hoping to see closer to 600. just wanted to see if it will handle this kinda power and are they much different in size compared to a r154??? and no i dont want to go the r154 as ive already blown one of them and two npc clutchs in 6months and im over it.

in my experience theres a few boys running the t56's still in there bombed, cammed or supercharged SS commodores with 5.7's and 6 and 6.2ltrs... if i had the money id get one and a b&m ripshifter for it too...

very strong box that one

The problem wtih a T56 in a cressida is the size of the box, tunnel needs mods to fit properly.

how much work do you think??? i dont mind doing it as long as its worth it.

Trans tunnel and firewall mods with the size of the box vertically compared to an R154. Once all the stuffing around with bellhousing adapter, clutch, concentric throwout etc is done it should be quite a good mod. I'd like to do it to mine, looks like Rush imports were working on adapting their 1uz to T56 kit for the JZ's: http://alscforum.com/discus/messages...tml?1253239814

You can see some pics of how big the front of the box is in relation to a 1U bellhousing here: http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/sho...-1uz&p=1030038

i can get an adapter made from a mate of mine. i was going to change to an auto because i was sick of fixing the r154 but if i can stay manual would be good and the toyota 6speeds are to dear. its just that i do give it a hard time so wasnt sure how good they are.
