I pushed 481 WTQ on the stock trans, but that does not mean its stout. I treated it pretty lightly to prevent grenading it. No hard launches, took time shifting, etc.. Many many people making power have exploded 4th just engaging it while pushing boost (not a misshift, not a hard launch, just shifting).
One of the main reasons to swap is because it altogether deals in one shot with the weak transmission. I agree, for an NA K swap it should be mostly fine, but generally people swap to go for bigger power than that. The cost of developing a swap kit needs to be justified by the market and the market for keeping the stock trans is pretty low.

Fair points, at least it's more robust than the early 2000s WRX box.
I agree it makes sense developing the kit around a beefier tranny, especially if it allows the engine to move further back.
I for one would definitely consider the option of keeping the stock trans since the part that really interested me about this swap was the weight loss, having an nice 8000 RPM ~270 HP NA motor, and cost compared to most swaps. I'm after a balanced car with my BRZ, not another tireshredding monster. |
