    how much HK with 5 Speed Gearbox ?

    Hi.

    I was wondering if anyone know approximately how much engine HP an original 5 speed gearbox from S2 can handle in everyday driving ?

    I have around 400hk in the car now and will only do street driving, will the box hold together ?

    Regards
    Johan

    5 spd 01E will hold as much as the 6 speed, as long as you don`t miss a shift 600++++hp will work just fine
    Now you see me, now you don`t

      It will handle 400hk no problem. What kills it are hard launches and too much torque in 3. gear.

        sounds great, then I go with my original box as long as it does not break

              280 hk can break one, if your street driving includes clutch sidestep launches, and 2nd/3rd gear clutch kicks and drifts.
