hi chip
just t to let you know that 1box is in a rally car for last 9 months with 340bhp /460ftlbs of torque ,
hasn't broke yet it's still fyling, it will be coming back in 2months time for check over we going to strip it and have alook at it
if it lasts in a rally car, then it will centinaly last in a road or track car P.O.Pi55
marco you need to check your figures your quoting,no cosworth rally car will make over 308 bhp with a 34mm restrictor,and my old ex boreham works car only made a GENUINE 356lb/ft of torque,thats a genuine dyno figure not doing what the tunners do and bring it on to boost at part throttle then floor the throttle to give a false boost spike.
the world rally car we did a back to back test with made 29lb/ft more on the same rollers.
whos car is it in?cannot be much of a driver if he is rallying without a dogbox, as for the 9 months statement that means nothing in terms of rallying,ive a car here hasnt brocken a gearbox in over 3 years,but it hasnt turned a wheel in 3 years either!!
why are you all comparing a dog gearbox with a syncro gearbox anyway?
syncro boxes will be fine for fast road and track days but no way suitable for a rally car!!!!
