R33 Gearbox identification..

Is there any way to tell from looking at an R33 gearbox whether it came from a N/A or Turbo model?

Verry very curious.

And there IS a difference right? From what I've read here on the forums there is.. and I am looking for the stronger of the two which sounds like it would be the Turbo gearbox..

There is a big difference in the internals of a NA & turbo boxes, NA boxes are much weaker.

The gear box from a R33 GTS25T is extremly strong, the R32 turbo boxes aren't that fantastic when it comes to high power aplications either, a mate of mine has stuffed two R32 turbo boxes within 6 months of each other, his car was just under 200rwkw.

Thanks.

Any visual differences that you know of? Is it shorter like the Rb20 gearbox?

i imagine the gearing in a turbo would be different too seeing as a NA car would really be stretching the limits to get to 200+kmh, where as a turbo would be doing that in 3rd or 4th
