Ph1 Clio V6, Ph2 172
Over the next year or so, I'll be building two turbocharged v6 motors up for me and a fellow vee owner. The decision from the outset has been to ditch the weak PK6 gearbox's in favour of stronger ones as to improve the reliability. This will be done by machining a bellhousing adaptor and using a typical 6 speed full syncro 'box.(nothing new or fancy) However, ive been quite fortunate in finding someone who has offered me a trophy SADEV box for some time now which i'd really love to use.
However the one thing that does put me off the idea of using one is the stories ive been told about how to run with one and the huge costs, as far as ECU's are concerned, to make one remotely reliable. Ive used a couple of Dog boxes before and they proved very reliable using just the old toe and heeling technique.
Does the engine really have to be reved matched to each and every gearchange using SADEVS?
And are the super expensive motec ecu's really needed?
I know this is a v6 based question and many people say "look on v6clio.net" but but I've noticed a fair few more people on here do have SADEVS compared to next to none on the sister site.
Any help will be great
