93 auto to 5speed

[paintpimp]

So I see a lot of people wanting to do a auto to 6 speed but I can't find info for a 5 speed conversion. I have a 93 twin turbo that fell in my lap for a steal. Has some electrical and accident damage. I hate automatic and I know it is pricey to convert but I don't care about that and price won't matter. Does anyone know of a sticky for this or know if it is the same conversion process. A 5 speed is probably cheaper parts wise. Thanks for any info

The conversion process will be very, very similar to the conversion process for a 6spd:

However, the 5spd can't hold anywhere near the power that the 6spd can. This is why the conversion you're suggesting isn't discussed. The 5spd can barely hold the power of a bpu'd TT. If you single turbo the 2jz-gte, the 5spd will be one of the first weak points you'll have to deal with in the driveline.
