I seriously doubt that this is just a T50 being too weak problem. As I said above I ran T50s behind a reasonably serious ZE for two years and only ever broke one (it snapped teeth off second on a rough autocross track). I had a heavy duty full face organic clutch and you could pull second gear burnouts off the line, which I did regularly at drift nights. I was not kind on the gearbox at all and it still stood up to drift nights every month and a few quarter mile trips and regular daily driving.

I think there must be something strange or misaligned about your setup. A T50 should cope. I know plenty of people putting similar or more power through a T50 without chewing through 7 of them. What the problem is I can't really help with, but I don't think that it is just that the box is too fragile.

However you may decide that fitting a W box is an easier propostition than diagnosing the mystery ailment.

PS, you do have a spigot bearing in your crank don't you?
