can t50s handle 250hp?

[mad_te71]

im going to turbo my 2tg and i was wondering if anyones used a t50 with around 250hp

[wde_bdy]

Go straight to a W55, the T50 may last but not if you actually use the 250hp. Source a 3T-GTE flywheel, clutch and bellhousing.

yea i was going to do that but i just wanted to use the t50 because of the lightness and the ratios, i was going to use 3t flywheel and get a 3puc brass centre made with the 2t clutch centre and biger presureplate.

[beeker]

As said, the T50 wont last that long with 250hp. Look at a W series.

IMO no you'll blow it, they dont seem to like being treated to turbo engines, launches or being thrashed. and the 3 puk will certainly help destroy it.
T50's are fetching good money these days, id sell it and buy a w series,
there are a few different ratios available thru the range.

if your worried about the weight difference up the boost.

[mad_te71]

sweet, it seems like ill be using the w55 and 3t clutch and flywheel instead.

I disagree, there is nothing wrong with the old t50, but at the end of the day it will come down to how you drive, and how much traction you can get. Ive got about 200hp in my ke25 for last 5 years and the t50 hasnt skipped a beat...but car is light and traction is a small issue, and i dont do massive 7k clutch drops. so thats my 2c....

BTW Ive got some 2tg turbo parts in my shed, a sump modified with oil drain, and a 3tgteu vacum/boost advance/retard diaphram modified to the 2tgeu dizzy if you only want to run fuel only (aka old link, or 3tgte computer, I also have an EMX tuned for a 3tgte fuel only, but im not sure if it goes, im running a v5 now).

Cheers

do you have a spare ct20 gturbo and how much do you wangt for the sump, im also looking for T series LSD. im going to run 3tgte comp and an Apexi fuel pigy back comp and 3t injectors and fuel pump.

I know guys who have raced T50s behind full race 4age motors for 5 to 7 seasons. Ask Chelles about her old AE85/86 racecar they used a K50 for 3 seasons before it died!
If you race you load up the gearbox and drive train against the handbrake and slip the clutch as you launch. This is "relatively" gentle on the gearbox.
If you have the habit of:
- dropping the clutch at 7,000rpm
- kicking the clutch
- compression locking to get the tail out
- or any other drift/burnout or burnout techniques
The poor T50 will die!
If you are kind to machinery, keep the T50
If you give your car death, set yourself up with a W55/57 (selling the T50 and bellhousing will set you up with a Niteparts 4age to W bellhousing).

all of gthe above is exactly why im building this car for , mainly for drifting.

Might as well throw the diff away and get a Hilux diff for it as well then.

come on ben you know what you drive like and using the t50 and t series diff
would be a mistake one thing the axles would snap and the t50 would be a bitch to replace go the w box and g diff and dont be a pu**y about it

[mad_te71]

what about a TRD LSD ? aperantly their strong.

[toyae86]

they are stronger but the axles are the weak point then kouki are better than zenki but with the shit you give them a g diff is the way to go i bet you now wish you didnt sell your old one

[mad_te71]

yea i shouldnt have sold my levin oh well, ive got a whole 3tgte motor with bigger turbo and w55 box. axles are to weak you reckon, well see what hapens.

[Low_Aa63]

i tend to disaggre with everyone else here i reckon you should use the t50 for drifting clutch kicking and big skids it will handle all of that shit!

bahahahahaha

What you doing today bro?

[Drifter4ag]

NO

[Low_Aa63]

YES

[crispy'86]

what about a TRD LSD ? aperantly their strong.

The diff may be so strong but it comes down to how you treat them, take it from me Ben. The T series diff will only handle so much abuse and with alot of horsepower behind it the chances of it lasting long will be very slim

t50 wont last, dad used on his escort with 240hp and they had to make 2nd 3rd 4th into dog gears while doing all these other crazy mods to the gear box which cost around $5k, after that it did last ages with 240hp.
Then when he built his new engine with 300hp it just rooted the gears and once snapped the MAIN SHAFT .
So he just bought w series box and made the whoel thing into a dog box
