Hey, Everybody. I have a acquired a magazine called. Sport Compact Car, Issue Volume 17 NO. 12. (It's got a big cover shot of a Skyline's rear. And Says "THE BOSS".) Well in this mag, on page 34. It says something like the trany for SR20's are weak and will break. (Here is as Direct a quote as possable).
"How much power do you want? One hundred seventy horsepower at the wheels naturally aspirated with tons of torque? QR25 is your engine. You want a turbo and ton of power? Stick with the SR20. The only problem with the SR20, and it's a big one, is that the transmission is horribly weak. Make much more than 200hp at the wheels and the transmission will break."
Now what are they talking about? The S13,S14,S15-SR20? Is this even a problem? Can the trany be strengthened? If so how? But above all, does anyone have anything to say about this?
(Sorry if this has been brought up and answered. I looked but could not find anything.)
