W57 Gearbox

[1JZ]

Hey,

I dont really no much about the w series boxes, are they all pretty much the same? is the W57 box out of an older supra very strong? it will be put behind a 1jz-gte which will be standard apart from exhaust and intercooler will this box last very long?

we used W5* series boxes behind our 1JZ race car and they lasted 3 meeting on average.
Saying that though we had lot larger turbo's etc and were making a fair bit more power. On your setup it may last well?
