Blown Gearbox
Hi guys
I have a uk spec classic impreza turbo w reg running 325bhp, on saturday the gearbox decided to go
, so instead of taking a sidestep i want change the box to something stronger that would handle the 325bhp, i have been looking into getting a p1 box, is the box any stronger and also will it go straight in reguarding the diffs? if not what would anyone recomend other than going down the ppg route as i cant afford that set up..
btw does anyone know a rough estimate for a second hand p1 g/box
cheers guys

you will need the diff and shafts to match the p1 box mate.
paid £800 for my box.£200 for diff and £150 for shafts on mine.
been running 360bhp on it for a year with a few santa pods

tbh your choice is pretty limited, replace with a slightly stronger 5 speed, as sugested p1 or type r, but depending on how you drive it you may find it blows up again very quickly.
recon'd box will possibly do the same.
6 speeder wont be cheap and will dick about with the gear ratio's
ppg box aint gonna be cheap

yuo don't, I've been running a P1 box on a MY00 UK car for a while; all you need is the diff.
I paid £800 for the box and diff and then spent another £500 on a rebuild...think carefully about going the whole hog to a PPG. I wish I had gone down that route now.

You don't say what torque you're producing, that's what kills boxes, not bhp.
To be honest, if you want to be assurred of a box that'll take the power and accommodate some rough treatment, then you're looking at a 6 speeder from a UK Sti or a PPG gearset.
Give David at Api a bell for a no BS chat.
