Hi guys, I have an S13 (CA18DET engine) model 1992. I have tunned it to approximately 350HP. At the moment i am facing a problem with my gearbox and instead of repairing it, i think about changing it. Does anybody know if i can put on a gear box from a different model to cope with the 350HP?Does anybody know if there is a 6 speed gearbox in the market to fit my CA18DET engine? Does the NAVARA 6 speed gearbox fit on the CA18DET? Please help!Thanks a lot in advance.

Im sure for a 200 bucks or so they can make an adapter plate for a 300zx or RB trans.....

the 6spd in the S15 isnt going to be a good choice for that kind of HP.

think a good clutch and Flywheel combo is the cheapest and easiest solution.

I know that mazworx does it for KAs and SRs........ seems to be pretty logical that they could mod the KA or SR one to work for the CA....

The CAs gearbox can withstand your 350hp, just get another one. If you're one to constantly keep slamming the thing into gears at high rpm and between gearshifts, well it will eventually fail.
