rite i have a type 9 quaife box i want 2 c if it will go on a cosworth lump any help would be great cheers

 

fit hydraulic clutch, will work fine, you must use a smaller flywheel though.

 

N/A cossie or turbo ?

If turbo i would not even bother

Steve.

 

cosworth turbo

 

the type 9 will be to weak even a quafe one, look at the reccomended power on the quafe iirc its about 250bhp max mabe less

 

and yes i know its torque that kills boxes but i dont know the figure that the quafe type 9 is good for

 

the quaife type 9 will be fine.

 

recomended from quafe the max power on there type 9 clubman syncro box is 190bhp and on the type 9 sequential boxes and full straight cut its 275bhp now I have no experience of a type 9 box on a cossie engine especially a quafe one im just telling you what i have read.

 

i have and trust me, it will be fine

 

I would sell it and buy a cossie T5 box.

Steve.

 

what ! sell a quaife type 9 for a cossie T5 , you are joking ? the T5 is a crap gearbox, the only reason people put up with its crap shift and crap ratios is for a tractor like size that makes it take biggish power.

 

it will sell ive had it up 4 sale 4 a month now,

will it work yes or no?

wat do i need 2 do

 

The type 9 will fit behind the cossie lump, i have a N/A cossie(plus n20, 300bhp+) running through a type 9 with tran-x gear kit. Use a cossie flywheel/clutch and the type 9 bell houseing...it does fit. Then convert it to a hydraulic clutch. The only frigging about you need to do is the starter motor, i used a lucas M85, long nose with a smaller Rover metro 9 tooth pinion gear fitted, carefully elongate the starter bolt holes to move the starter away a few mm from the flywheel/ring gear and the jobs done.

if you use a cossie flywheel, turn it down to suit a pinto ring gear then the short lucas starter its the std RS2000 bellhousing a treat, no mods to anything !

 

That's the other option(mod the flywheel), i went for the starter route because it also changes the gear ratio of the starter/ring gear giving more torque for starting a high compression engine

Ian.

 

cool , good point !!

mine was turning a nasp cosworth (at first at 11:1) then a lower comp turbo motor

 

i sold it guys now

but thanks for all the help

cheers again
