Z32 trans

Post by nissy92 »

What power levels are stock z32 5 speeds good to? It will be going into a drag car and the only upgrades I've found are the ppg setup

700.. 800.. 900... really depends on how you use/abuse it, but they are very stout transmissions.

The only one that comes to mind immediately is kedbmx. He destroyed the KA 3rd gear rolling into the throttle with good tires and lots of traction. He was around 500-550whp back then, IIRC.


This is a picture of a SR20DE vs a Z33 transmission, but the SR trans is the same as the KA, and the Z33 gears are similar in size to the Z32 gears. The difference in gear size alone is ridiculous.

I broke the stock trans after a 11.6 pass at 14psi 440whp 350tq. it did last on The dyno when i made 660whp but the launch on slicks broke on the driveshaft side. I since been running the z32 no issues10.5 passes all day

I crossed the line around 7300rpm with the 4.08 gears. I now have 4.11 gears with a slightly taller tire a true 26" before i had a 25.8". Im hoping to hit 155mph at 8000rpm.
