gearbox invincable 172 turbo!!!



  80MPG BEEZA
3k seems a good price for a 6 speed box though! especially if it increases top speed to

more power + more speed = more fun :)

fun = money

money = work

work = sadness

sadness = fun

live life dont look back

more speed!? 150mph not enough!? lol

mine wont do 150 more like 135mph b4 it really just caning it for an extra couple of miles per hour, i'd prefer if the car was capable of doing 170 i'd never take it that far i wudnt go above 150mph but knowing i'm not caning it full beaners at 150mph wud be gr8

and yea heel and toe exactly ben my lanky legs aint helping out though think i may just take out my seat and sit in the back
 
your gearbox has only a very little portion of top speed capability, your gonna need a whole lot more power to do 170mpg. I was referring to the ability of the gearbox, using the current ratios, to hit 150 with a slightly raised rev limit, obviously additional power is needed.

Heel & toe is a technique, doesnt matter if your legs are lanky.

i've just thought, what do you drive ben? apart from people round the bend that is..... lol

nah 150mph without struggling to much is definitely worth a few magic beans and the bank manager's gonna be pouring them into a bag for me soon :)

150mph without struggling is a fair few of your hard earned beans.

its designed for sprint work really mate, so top speed is more like 130mph with it, but it'll get there quicker

i've got the ratio details knocking about somewhere

coudltn you change the ratios so it had a higher top speed?
 
are planning on having the 300-400bhp required to go 170mph?

I'd be more worried about that than gear ratios.

nah k-tecs at 302bhp by next year it'll be even more i can get plenty of golden rupees its just waiting for the right moment so i know everything has been developed well and tested so i dont pay xxxx amount then 8 months later its boosted up another 20bhp, currently getting rid of outgoings i have e.g phone - credit card - tv wait for my insurance to go down again and i'll be ready for the turbo + a wage rise is on the brink soon :)

turbo charged F4R? pah thats easy, NA is where its at ;) come along to the TGP at Snetterton, that should answer your questions
 
  80MPG BEEZA
yea but with n/a you will only get so far grr god dman clio companies why cant you just be one big one like halfrauds that way we dont have to choose and pick where we go and worry about spending dosh in the wrong place i dont even like going into vardies for spares, last time i was in vardies three of the golden boys where out round my car *fkin hell it looks good wuith the wheels and skirts* you wanna part ex it for anything? erm no ta u keep ur 1.4 ur mam cudnt handle mine (lol lst it was a joke i'm not that brave)
 
  80MPG BEEZA
yea but we still havent solved anything about making the gearbox stronger lol were no further forward! i think we shud all meet up in a office somwere with suits on and discuss the finer details i mean we cid sell them to the clio cup lot sure they'd want a stronger box to
 
we have pretty much moved to the conclusion that if you want a strong box that will not fail, you will be spending 3-7K on one.

A competition box might be strong, but it does not survive the rigours of daily use. And a competition gearset will drive you crazy with noise.

ugh thats the british way to put it

i'm sure the japs wudnt say that more like

nhrefior ioerfoijero nwe9wefj ne9fj0er 700bhp! fnreijf djdwjdw nrienof nfef finfwe ffn fionwef

its a deal! :)
 
hey, all the solutions are there, no need to search.

If you've got the cash, you've got the solutions.

If you thing jap is cheap, just go look at OS Giken stuff........bargain.

If you want a 500bhp 172 engine with a box that can hold it, no problem......but it will not be cheap and it will be based around a totally different gearbox IMO.

ben your proper loving this thread now arent you? lmao

nah 300bhp will do me anymore through the front wheels is daft really

i think fred is luring me towards tb's though tbh i'm just holding out lol
 
the only solution to any problem is more power.
Plany of FWD boys have no problem with 600-800bhp.

Well, there is a traction problem, but you get over it at about 120mph.
 
  80MPG BEEZA
what fwd cars have they got running that power? i wudnt like any spinnage or traction loss doing that speed 135mph was turning into lightspeed nevermind doing it shile spinning!
i think if i cud get 250bhp with na i'd go for it
