T50 goes KABOOM!! now with PICS Sun, 27 July 2003 12:40 Go to next message
Well, it was bound to happen Sad . The T50 behind my 4AGTE exploded tonight when it hit boost in third gear. It made a big bang, and locked the rear wheels at 80kph, fortunately only for a couple of seconds (but enough for me to pack my daks Shocked ). When the wheels unlocked, the box sounded like marbles in a kitchen blender, so I got the luxury of a tow home Crying or Very Sad

So has anyone heard more about the 4AG to Supra bellhousings from NZ??

Please, dont post any "I told you so" replies. I know it was going to break, they were only meant to take 150hp or so!

Cheers

Phil

Hi Phil,

I think the guys from Garage Dori (or something like that) make or source these. I remember seeing some posts about them here a while back and they sounded like a better option than Dellows!!

Will do. as soon as I can be bothered pulling the gearbox out, I only put it back 3 weeks ago after changing the clutch!

Thanks Daniel, but that website has been down for a few weeks. I wish I could get hold of them!

Can anyone host pictures? Ive got a couple of shots of the busted 3rd gear, there's 13 teeth in a row stripped from the gear!

The oil had a nice heavy metallic flake..... kinda like riceboy paint, or the kinda shit you should only see on harley davidson trikes!

ouch. not critiscising you driving or anything, but this wasnt due to a miss-shift or anything? i may have to re-think my "t-50 will be ok with turbo" idea, was the box oldish or noisy?

My T50 has been behind a gze for 3 years and has now been behind my 4agte for 1 year.. Fair enough i dont drop the clutch every single time i take off from the lights and i dont try drift every corner but i change quick and hard courtesy of a short shift kit Smile
Out of interest what clutch are you using TE72 ?
Mines using a daiken full face clutch with a 1 tonne pressure plate.. It never slips and seems to be very friendly to the box so far..
No doubt it will eventually happen to me though Smile
