T5's will bolt up to a 2.3 as long as you have the bellhousing for a 4cyl

4 cyl T5's have a different input shaft with a longer pilot bearing snout than V8 T5's. I believe the snout diameter is different too.

A v8 t5 can go in a 2.3, u need a bronze bushing instead of the 2.3 pilot bearing and it will work I had a z-spec t5 in my SVO it would roast 1st,2nd for days with the taller gear ratios ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)
