Since I have boosted the SE-R I have been using Redline heavy shockproof gear lube and have developed 5th gear popout. Does anyone think there might be a connection here?
Thanks for the help!

I doubt it. 5th gear popout is very common on the B13's. How many miles do you have on your tranny? Around 100,000 miles? I run Heavy in my VE car, and it has had 5th gear replaced previously; so I guess it was just time for 5th gear to go.
For a turbo car, you might want to try to source a B15 tranny.

5th gear popout is due to a poor design not power. Get a B14/B15 tranny...

will a B14 tranny fit no problem or is there any modifications that need to be done?

It is the same tranny and the only thing that might need to be done is to change out the speedometer sensor depending on the year. '91 & '92 SE-R's had a cable driven speedo and the '93 and after it went to an electronic sensor.
