what is a sutable road gearbox for a 400bhp/400lbft car????????????? any advice welcome 4x4 cosworth

 

quaife/pete doughty

 

Quaife

 

Quaife BIG tooth

 

personally i would NOT recommend the quaife at all , they dont take the power if you abuse them and NEED regular maintenance , and when you need parts you may as well be getting them made by MR fixit

 

 

Gus you'd be better of buying a challenger 2 tank from the gulf you'll not brake that...... mind you. as a friend that knows you better get one of those big scannell tractor units on call just in case

 

tank and tank recovery lol

he'd still break it baz - but at least he wont have to pay for recovery !!

 

I do truely think there is a massive hole in the market. A good modern 5 / 6 speed synchro 4x4 box that fits in a cossie.

Hmmmmmmm

 

i agree sean there is , get it done

 

Well fookin test it on mine then Sean!!!

 

Kev, we would need a car wearing at least a GT30, custom plenum, etc, etc, etc. as a test bed. Should I still count you in

Can't say anything yet mate, just watch this space

 

Fixit kit!





Only problem is availability, next kits won't be built until Spring 2005....

 

me have one like that aswell

 

What about shift quality. Standard MT-75 is not the quickest gearbox around. What about one with one of those gearkits. How do they differ in that?

 

they are just stronger version of the mt75 thats all, they are road boxs,
else u buy a r+d etc etc

 

The shift quality is similar to the standard MT75 box, as it uses OE syncros, but as you can see from the size of the gears, they can stand serious abuse (is in a 10s car in Sweden as well as the It's Fun Sapphire 4x4 as featured on GIS).

 

Pete Doughty Box

I would be worried about OE synchros with heavier gears but if you say it works like stock i belive

What about Quife? Does it also use OE synchros?

 

The Quaife big tooth box does use OE synchros.

This is the only picture of a Quaife big tooth gear I have as the rest of the kit is on the other side of town...

It's 3rd gear with synchro cone fitted and is also an E20Z1 kit which is the weakest out of 3 big tooth types Z2 being a medium and Z3 being the strongest...

 

nice carpet daz

 

Gus. looks like SHAG pile to me

 

What's so nice about it? Every one says that for some reason....

 

 

Because if you know ANYTHING about carpets, you will know that that is top quality MUCHO expensive carpet . Someone in your house has taste .

 

its like ours mike but ours is blue

 

Everyone knows red ones of anything are better .

 

 

 

 

i emailed zeroshift and have filled in the request form for more info and they have said , subject to demand that a mt75 version may be developed in the near future.

only trouble is, its all gone quiet with the T5 boxes they wre doing - i have seen them on here.... would be interesting to see how thier mechanism can handle big torque.

sean,, were u developing a skyline gearbox conversion to fit 4x4 cossies...?

 

That'll be my Dad then!
