    What can a getrag 284 stand up too?

    i just got a 284 from a local junk yard, what kind of engine mods can they handle? turbos (not very big), and engine HP? i got a 3.4 lined up for it by the way.

    supposedly 300ft-lbs of TQ... but that's from the same people that rated the 282 at 275 ft-lbs.

    282's regularly take 400+ ft-lbs in a bunch of different applications, 284 should be similar. I'd have it checked out by a good trans shop first though.

    I know Nico (from way back) took apart a 284 and said that the internals were barely smaller than BMWs biggest trans, so it's pretty beefy.

    More then the 282, until someone has an ample supply of spare 284's and a powerful enough motor to blow them up I don't think you will ever know for sure. In comparison to the 282 though, the thing is fricken huge.
