Guest Guests Posted 18/07/08 01:30 AM Share Posted 18/07/08 01:30 AM I'm assuming it would be the same as a T... Wouldn't it?If so, I've done the conversion & can answer a few of your questions What did you want to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murrayallstar Member 71 Member For: 19y 3m Posted 18/07/08 07:17 AM Author Share Posted 18/07/08 07:17 AM My car has been converted to turbo.I have spoken to mal woods and ferntree gully about thisI just wanted to make sure it was possible and what is required and if any one has done it too a na and what performance gains they gotI know that the diff gears between the na and xr6t are different but also there is also a difference also in the tail shafts.

Guest Guests Posted 18/07/08 08:06 AM Share Posted 18/07/08 08:06 AM (edited) Not sure about the tailshaft mate but your diff gears will have to be changed I'm guessing. I put 4.11's in mine after I did the box because it was too sluggish with the 3.46's in there. I'd dare say that the NA diff would be worse In saying that though, Mal Woods can supply a T56 with ratios very similar to the T5... except the top 2 gears for obvious reasons! So you could get away with using your current diff that way Edited 18/07/08 08:08 AM by 03XR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of splines on the gearbox mainshaft is dfferent on the T56 compared to the T5.I think the cross member also has to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no electrical work to be done it should work with the t5 stuff.GK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
