Hi,

Some of you may know that I'm collecting all of the parts for a RWD turbo fun with a volvo gearbox.
I would like to know how much 360 gearbox can take. I will be building a 1300cc turbo motor from Suzuki Swift 16v Gti engine.
When I finish building it, it will have about 220-240Bhp with about 180-90lbft of torque...
I got a special 5 paddle clutch plate made with a HD spring. I'm getting a 360 bell housing machined to fit a G13B gearbox bell housing.
I'm sure diesel turbo engine had more turque than little 1300cc turbo but I would like to make sure!

Let me know if any of you have any info.

Cheers
Atchi

From what i've read/heard, the 360 torquetube/transaxle is good for up to and around 300ft/of torque :) Thomas.............

Hi,

Once I pick up my bell housing which has been modified, I will take photos and start a thread as a project.
As I will be making PG LSD and so on for a 360 diff, it might be something people might be interested!

Cheers

P.S. I got brand new clutch plate for 300 series if any one wants it.

420Nm is pretty safe. 440Nm and all you need is 1 full throttle acceleration on 3rd gear. It breaks cause the 3rd gears cogwheel is in the middle of the long axel, and the axel bends making it slip.
