Ya it looks like the input shaft was the weak link. There is no teeth left on it. And it broke under power. Right when I was about to push the clutch in at about 7000rpm. I think this was a factory...

Here are the good pics. Anyone break 2nd gear ever? I don't think it was overwhelming power that did this, but I would like to find out what caused this so it doesn't happen again. 2nd gear looks t...

The carnage.

Update. The transmission is toast! I am not sure what gear this is, but it is completely shattered.

The bottom shift fork arrow on the left is th...

I decided to try pulling the case off while the trans is still in the car. Just got started tonight, but ran out of daylight. Took the reverse gear out, drained the fluid, and pulled the CV out. No...

Come down and pick 'er up! it should have the honors of putting down WAY better numbers than my current setup allows. Do NOT use the .78 housing on a 76r. Absolutely pointless for making good powe...

Thank you snickers! this gives me hope because it looks as though the tranny only has issues with the shift mechanism! it will NOT go into 5th, or even move to the right where the 5th gear gate is....

bigger turbo helps with traction. You are slower in the lower revs, but your tires will love you for it. You gotta go bigger than T28 though lol.

What is your camber set at? Maybe set to zero will help with traction. What width are the tires?

YUP. P11. from a 2001.

Thanks octave! I will do that, not sure if you have any B15/P11 parts though do ya? They have a lot of different parts than the older transmissions.

Hopefully I can get this figured out and fix...

I'm just dying to find out what failed! I wanna know! Shifter fork busted? what could it be?????

What is weird is I don't think the gear exploded. I guess it could have, but not on street tires. I was holding traction though :) BARELY! lol

This is the first time in 2 years the car left me s...

IT WORKS! Put QG18 gears in your P11 TRANS! 56k take a nap.

Oh man those high revs really get me excited! 9K would be rediculous on my setup with the .82. I think I am going to do that next!

Ya I think the response shouldn't take a huge hit, especially when you can rev a bit higher. When I get the housing I can see how far that will take me, then invest in some valve springs in the nea...

Just one question for you real quick... at 5000rpm when you stab the gas, how fast does the turbo respond?

I feel like I may miss the response of the TS setup when I get the .82 housing in a few...

11psi of boost, anyone's torque would be low. But a flat torque curve all the way to 7800rpm.

This is true! that turbo is just starting to get happy right when the revs cut the fun. VE is likely still climbing even at 7800rpm on this boost.

It just needs more boost... or more revs. 9000...

Ok so here's some things I have found out about the setup I decided on.

The manifold is great, awesome upgrade, you can use the VE cams without any issues with reversion.

The dual wastegates...

Well, other than the chain oiler, Im sure the motor will be ok. Just check the chain for any damage. But very very impressive numbers tekkie. Where's the graph at? I am going to switch to that .82 ...

ouch, then ya that would be really really low pressure.

I am running Gspec crank pulley btw. Vibration isn't incredibly bad, but the solid mounts make some things start rattling over time. Thing...

That is weird, because my oil pressure isn't really high either. I get about 20-25psi at idle, and about 40psi at 2000rpm this summer with a 20w50 oil. Not incredibly high, but not low like yours e...

Lmao^^^^

What do you mean it won't rev over 6500rpm?

Hits a limiter? runs out of power?
