I'm assuming it would be the same as a T... Wouldn't it?

If so, I've done the conversion & can answer a few of your questions

What did you want to know?

[XR06T]

iirc it is a little harder in an NA.. not sure why I got that idea, and am happy to be proved wrong!

My car has been converted to turbo.

I have spoken to mal woods and ferntree gully about this

I just wanted to make sure it was possible and what is required and if any one has done it too a na and what performance gains they got

I know that the diff gears between the na and xr6t are different but also there is also a difference also in the tail shafts.

[Guest]

Not sure about the tailshaft mate but your diff gears will have to be changed I'm guessing. I put 4.11's in mine after I did the box because it was too sluggish with the 3.46's in there. I'd dare say that the NA diff would be worse

In saying that though, Mal Woods can supply a T56 with ratios very similar to the T5... except the top 2 gears for obvious reasons! So you could get away with using your current diff that way

The tailshaft is different. The number of splines on the gearbox mainshaft is dfferent on the T56 compared to the T5.

I think the cross member also has to be replaced.

Yes that is correct you will ned to get a tail shaft to suit and also grab the cross member out of the car that you taken the t56 from. There is no electrical work to be done it should work with the t5 stuff.

That's wrong.

There's a reverse lock out that needs to be wired in.

Oh ok I must of missed that when I converted my t5n/a to the t56 turbo my bad.
