Does anybody know what kind of power a ST204 tranny could handle? Lets just say i swapped in a second generation 3s-gte and ran nitrous for racing purposes....would that be a little too much for it to handle or would it be fine? A stronger clutch would be a must, but what about ways to strengthen the tranny like stronger axles, etc....or a different transmission altogether like the 3s-ge?

I've heard of the 5S-FE tranny withstanding up to 400HP... but I believe it was rebuilt... However, I believe that after some point in time... it will die out... I honestly don't think it was designed for high HP and torque specifications... A brand new or rebuilt tranny could handle the power produced by the 3S... but I don't think it'll last as long as a tranny that was designed for turbo specifications... Just my $0.02... |
