What Gearbox for over 600ft/lb's.. ?
What gearbox would people recommend that will handle over 600ft/lb's? Since my subaru made over that on 1st september 2004 (in the UK) - thanks again to Dave Wild from DTW, and Mark at Lateral Performance.
This is my power graph, for your viewing pleasure :
I am guessing I would need to use a dogbox? I used to use one of these, but I did find it quite noisey.
Do seq gearboxes exist at all? how much are they? who sells them?
What about paddle shift dog boxes? how much are they? who sells them?
any details of any other gearboxes that can handle this type of torque? I want manual, and it has to be easy to drive, as I would like my wife to also drive it, but with the boost turned down I don't think I can handle this power, let alone, letting a women loose with it!!
Thanks,
Christian

My God... what the hell do you have in that thing?
To answer your question, the STi 6MT should handle it. Beyond that, you need to go see about getting a gearbox from the Mates at Prodrive.

did a google, i dont think it will fit a subaru.
and according to : http://www.ttcautomotive.com/English/products/T-56.asp , it will not handle this much torque.

You could try quaife, I know they make custom 4wd trannys, might have to get driveshaft, axles, and differentials for it also. But their stuff is pretty strong. I don't know whether it will fit for your application but you can talk to them. I think their website is http://www.quaifeamerica.com/ . I have had good luck with them in my race cars.

I would think that the STi 6-speed would handle it.... But then, I think JUN uses the same tranny in their Hyper Lemon car as well too... Which has HP numbers in the 600+ range... nit sure about torque...
I too am VERY curious as to how the heck you are able to generate so much torque...
How about some pics of your setup?!
I am not sure I would be looking at Prodrive for their gearboxes.... IIRC, those go for arounf 70,000K
