    There is no magical power figure of what the W58 can handle. Allot of people have ran them with their 4agte for 10+ years without having to replace them. These cars have around 200kw.

    Have you broken the w58? Or want something stronger now?

    No i will make some more power on my 4agte and I don't know that can hold this.
    I think 350-400hp is the goal.

    I agree with Matt, there are so many factors like your tyre grip, vehicle weight, clutch type, gearbox condition, engine set up and the main one is your driving style. Apparently the strength can be upgraded to some degree with something to do with the bearings, I don't know anything about it though. R154 and W series gearboxes can't have parts swapped.

    ^^ Any W box will be fine for your application with the biggest factor being your driving style... If you smash thru gears carelessly at high RPMS, then anything is possible..... But, these boxes are quite capable of handling the power you have plus more if treated right

    Yes, I have used W5* boxes behind all the 4agtes Ive built, lasting 10 years +


    This isn't new info we are pioneering here... This has all been covered and known for many many years now


    generally speaking, they are good for 450hp, but all comes down to driving style and maintenance. People use these behind Turbo 2JZ and 1JZ motors too....
