Dear Lord I need to win the lottery. There are so many things I want and this is just another one. Got an exhaust, D.R. Mid-Pipe, Ignition Solution, now just need to save up for a TurboKit, and now this...I so hate you but I just can't. Here we go...time to start my wish list all over again!

 

nicely done guys! It would be a bit weird only having a 5 speed but this seems like a good option for the FI crowd.

 

yeah.

scott, why the decision to go with a 5 speed? is this tranny based off the rx7 tranny?

 

It's a rebuilt rx7 tranny and the 5speed makes more sense for people with FI.

 

Practically same power that the factory hold with fews mods.

 

The super efficient gearing makes having a 6th gear obsolete.

 

I would have thought the broader torque curve was the reason.

 

this is sweet!

 

boys with toys.....Thank you for your interest in our latest product. The phone has been ringing off the hook today. Thanks for the busy Monday.

 

Thats what you get for bringing out something that we've all needed for quite some time. I don't feel sorry for you one bit. LOL

 

YES!!! I totallt stoked on this, my 4th gear is crapping out and I didn't want to put another stock trans. in. Thank you Mazsport. Thank you.

 

When I spoke with Scott about this a couple weeks ago, he mentioned a couple of obstacles that are, for the time being any way, keeping them from doing a 6spd.

1) Tooling up to produce replacement, heavier duty wear items (syncros, etc) is expensive.
2) Even with heavier duty wear items, there are still some intermittent issues they've had trouble tracking down.
That being said, the 5Spds they've had running around do have longer legs so the revs at cruise are a bit lower than the stock 6spd. Not that any of us drive in manner condusive to fuel economy any how.

Im sure, if there were good reason and enough interest, Scott'd re-address the 6spd situation, but this may be the best solution (Mazsport has found it to be) on the cost/performance curve. And right now, it's the best/only solution on the curve.

 

plus the new ppf is solving probs most dont even know they have?

5-speed trans is fine with me - I'm seriously trying to remember the last time I used 6th gear...!!!

 

Happens when your are on the "wrong side of the road"
get it?

scott, do you know the rpm at 80mph for the .719 5th gear for a stock n/a rx8?

 

3500 rpm at 80 and 3000 rpm at 70

 

Well i should know since I'm driving it around.

 

I'm happy this uses rx8 clutch kits. And I agree the 5 speed is fine with me I don't need the extra gear I never use it anyways

 

I have been wondering, with this conversion kit, would I be able to fit it with PPG gears?

 

a-a-a-n-n-n-d-d-d...BUMP!

 

Today i received the transmission that's i'm ordered from FB performance transmission this one hold 1150 RWHP with optional HP upgrade, programed to shift up to 10,500 rpm, Electronic shift sequencer to use with steering padles switch, 3800 rpm converter. here's the pics

 

Man. That is shear lunacy. I love it!!

 

...and posted in the wrong thread.

 

Ditto
, why are you trying to jack this thread with an competing trans?
