Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) what 4500 Rebuild with the following power

[Niro]

hey I know this is asked a billion times



however I was wondering what would be needed to rebuild a 4500 to live behind my following modifications



It wont see any towing and very little dragging maybe once or twice a month and the occasional street race





I have or plan to have the following mods and nothing more



2002 Front mount (debating on this)

16cm housing or a HX40(think thats the next step turbo)

KDP fix

Guages

Timing adjust

AFe air filter

5" exhaust

#10 fuel plate

4K GSK

Valve springs

Clutch (whatever is recommended

Exhaust brake



by the way any idea on the power of something like this just out of curiosity



1998 12 Valve, ext cab, short bed 4X4

yes. If your bearings and synchros are OK, just the mainshaft/5th gear/nut kit will do it. My 97 made 800 and my trans just had rebuiild parts plus the above kit in it. I did all that when I changed to a 98 trans because I couldn't get a long time on the lift back then and needed a bolt in replacement trans. Obviously the clutch matters, and if you are hammering on it, the input shaft diameter may need to be upgraded from the stock 1. 25" 10 splines. I was not so hard on the truck (no 4000 rpm and dump the clutch stuff).
