How much power should the standard Mk2 T56 6 speed be capable of reliably handling (long term) ?Similar question for the standard clutch?This is assuming nice treatment - ie no dumping clutches etc.Any ideas?

tur Flight 6 Member 471 Member For: 21y 9m Posted 29/05/05 10:57 PM Share Posted 29/05/05 10:57 PM but remember the ls1 makes peak power at 4000rpm and the xr6 turbo at 2000rpm I think?

KBB Member 55 Member For: 20y 7m 12d Posted 30/05/05 06:27 AM Share Posted 30/05/05 06:27 AM the T56 is rated around 500 lbs/ft but by most accounts they will handle a fair bit more than that.

Lawsy Wanabe mechanical engineer Donating Members 960 Member For: 20y 7m 17d Gender: Male Location: At the computer, obviously..... Posted 30/05/05 06:29 AM Share Posted 30/05/05 06:29 AM BCL's gearbox is a modded T56, talk to him. Hes running just under 1400nm (yeah, pick your jaw up off the floor now). I'm fairly sure this is at least 60-70% or so more than the standard box would handle, on the brink of destruction...So my guess is about 800newtons. Take off 100 to be safe, 700 sounds like a nice, safe round figure.
