Whats up guys. Ok so Im kinda new to the Rotary thing. I just got an 86 RX7, its NA https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png but Im planning on putting a turbo motor in later.
Ok so my first question is, is a S5 Turbo II trans just as good as an FD trans? If not whats the benifits of the FD trans besides probley more horse power capacity. My second question is, I wanna use those high horse power axles they make and a Turbo II rear end. So can I just change the carrier or do I have to change the whole center section/rear end housing. What I mean is does a Turbo II carrier bolt into a NA housing. Also if I use the axles made for the Turbo car do I have to change the knuckles too. I know the axles reuse the old CV joints so I was wondering if the CV joints on the NA cars and the Turbo cars are the same. Thanks in advance for the help guys. |
The transmissions are basically the same between turbo IIs and FDs except the S4 T2 has a higher 5th gear.
You need the whole rear end I believe because the T2s rear is pretty big compared to the NA. The axles should fit in the hubs so you shouldnt need to change the knuckles. |
Just use a TII tranny they are good for over 500hp you wont brake it. To do the rear end swap you need the rear end pumpkin and half shafts thats it!
I am pushing 270hp on my N/A rear end with TII tranny. The FD tranny uses different mounts and will require custom fabrication and is a waste fo time. Why does evryone have this notion that it is so much bettor?? |
Thanks for the help guys. Now the only problem is finding the parts, hahaha. I live in Hawaii and Turbo II's are a rare find in the junk yard. Does anyone know a good place to order the drivetrain parts? I dont mind paying shipping, I just wanna get it done.
