4x4 Thanks

 

What car ? frs ?

 

Metro?

 

great info............. ....but my pal has a 330bhp focus with no probs (at the mo)........

 

i havent heard of one popping yet even on the 380-400bhp cars..

 

gaz, you drive a 1.3 endura powered fiesta, ib5 box, 200bhp safe, as its the tourque that kills them, you wont even get close mate

 

forgot i even posted this lol
cossie gearbox and diffs lol

 

...u still havnt got a clue have u..... ......2wd or 4x4...........

 

ffs

 

4x4 and no i havent got a clue or i wouldnt of asked.!b

 

title now changed..!

 

depends entirely how you drive, you will find people on here that have 400+bhp with no problem, and you will also find poeple that brake em with 300bhp week in week out

 

Also depends on the engine spec. 400bhp on a T4 will be a lot easyer on box and diff than 400 bhp on a T34 with big boost spike.

 

.....i was hopeing my ut t38 would be a bit easyier on boxes...................nup done 3 in a year............

 

I just picked up a standard box the other night Pete for mullit treatment in a few months, but im running a semi straightcut justnow so should be fine anyway.

 

If you drive like a hoon it'll last a month or two... if you drive like miss daisy then maybe the life you own the car!

 

my stage 3 saff box has lasted the life of the car

(though i rarely drive it, and take it easy, esp in third )

 

My last engine produced 394bhp and 507nm @ 4400rpm and had totazlly std transmision, worked fine undtil i was on some sideways action in the rain and suddenly got traction...... there went the gearbox.
But would say 375 bhp on std gearbox and 500+ on std diff`s no problem, just dont go the sinter-plate way, that kills the diffs

 

cheers for the head parts neil,head going away next week
