Gearbox destroyed (oil all ower the engine bay)
I am boosting 0.7bar with k03 turbo on EDM 1.5 civic. Yesterday I raced around townd and lost 5-th and revers gear(it is d16z6 gearbox). I returned home slowly and realized my gearbox is history. The car puls great and has a lot of power but not as close as some cars on this forum. How much power and torqe can stock hoda 1.6 or 1.5 gearbox take?

Way more than you were making. Did you have enough oil? That end of the tranny usually is the first to go when you have low oil since it recieves oil last. If there is not enough, then all of the oil that does make it up to the oiling channel will go to the other gears first, leaving none for the 5-R section.

If your gonna break a Honda tranny its normally the diff explodes.I too think you might have been low on oil.Did it have any leaks prior?Get a replacement and you will be fine you are not making nearly enough power yet.
