In my pile of toot up the shed I have a Lexus IS200 6 speed manual gearbox, The intentions may be to fit it behind my RV8, but I am really finding it hard to get any info on its strength, sounds like its the same gearbox as mazda mx5, honda s2000, toyota altessa rs200 and the nissan 200sx. but with different cast on bellhousings, if this is the case, how much abuse will this box take?? Have no fear I can break anythng!!

I think the Altezza RS200 box and Standard IS200 box are different.
The Altezza RS200 box I believe to be the same as the RX8 and the 200SX gearbox.
Sorry I can't be more helpful..

I have a Supra turbo box spare.
They'll take 1000bhp apparently. Are you up to the challenge?? :-)

I run a 5 speed supra box now, which I converted to go behind my RV8, I'm just debating what to do with the 6 speed, if it is made of Toffee, it will go on Ebay, if its tough enough to handle 350 hp, I will convert it i found this on a Oz site, deffo not politically correct, check out just under the header. forums.performanceforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67137870 |

Id hazard a guess at it being pretty tough... going on the fact Lexus' are generally pretty quick - and the Japanese are pretty good at over-engineering  |

If its the standard 200sx gearbox then from what ive been reading on driftworks over 400bhp of abuse will break them.

i though about using this box in my lexus, but acording to everyone i spoke to, the gearbox is made of toffee and the torque from a larger engine will kill it easily.
mdh, which supra turbo box do you refer to ?
if its the r154 it wont take 1000 bhp unless uprated, most guys are blowing them up with FI 1uzfe at around 600bhp

thats the one i think, not worth fitting to anything with torque, it can be used in smaller engines, but the torque of a v8 will shred it in no time especially if you like driving hard
