Different transmissions absorb different amounts of abuse. Id expect 320bhp to 350bhp (although torque kills your gearbox, not horsepower). V5/V6 transmissions are stronger, IIRC.

i did hear from a good source that the type r v4 box was one of the best classic boxes and can take 400hp if you dont launch it etc, i`m hoping its the same box in my ra v4

that was from a guy who rally preps them and hes got a v4 r himself

My Type R V4 'box went at around 320bhp. Now replaced with a 6 speed.
