Right before i decided to break car or not.. I`m looking into different options regarding boxes.. My 2.1zvh is runnin best part of 300bhp.. what the best option reagarding a gearbox?? what sort of money are we talking

 

focus rs box is what i would do mate.

 

my brand new cts stg 2 rs turbo gearbox for sale in the rs turbo parts for sale pm me if interested mate

 

think i would be looking into the focus rs or focus st170 box aswell if i didnt have the one i have

they are looking good at the moment with the power people are putting thro them

 

Has anyone ever tried a vauxhall box? say f28?

 

why would anyone want to???? when you can use the focus rs or the st170 box and the bolt onto the engine the vaux wont.

 

cos the focus ones need mounts welding to inner wing which I dont fancy doing, wondering what the vauxhall would need

 

stephen wot ever gearbox u want to fit other than b5 you will need to modify,st170 getrag all the way, get the mount welded then blow in the paint,job done these boxes handle power(dont fit vauxhall bits to a ford)im all for different mods,but please

 

nms are fitting my new mtX75 box later this year speak to karl
tim

 

Ł50

 

Don't you mean MTX 75 box???Unless youre going RWD!! All the best,Micky

 

your looking at easily 1k for 300bh. simple. ring up cts.

stage 2 box

quaife??????????

 

intresting Tim, any chance of PM'ing me a price or is it a suck it and see job at the moment?

 

@StephenC....Jano Oddkid does a drive in-drive out fitment for around Ł1,400 if I remember correct.Regards,Micky

 

dunno for sure but twin plate ap clutch and steel flywheel 1200 ish
box with diff and shot peened gearset 1300 ish then mounts fitting etc etc etc drive shafts lol it adds up, you dont have to use a twin plate etc but thats what im doing.

 

what about the jamsport big bearing gearboxes what are they like? ive seen some big power cars with them white series 2 300bhp+ 2.1zvh, isnt stu s2 running one to?

 

Tim didnt you hav a good box in. why you changing it

 

if you have good hp they all fall apart

 

still awaiting for you to get back to me on the gearbox mate unless your unable to prove it is a stage 2?

 

just not strong enough i carnt use full power it just shits itself and i plan on givin lukes fiesta a run for its money when i have my new set up finished.

 

thats will be good mate, am building a new engine for mine and will be looking in getin a new box cos am wantin over 300+ bhp and was thinkin the 1 you had in would be good enuf

 

more spending on the list tim, cts is a good box,but ive heard too many brake through big power and its a lot of cash for it to brake, so pay a little extra and do it properly

 

2.5k for a box, jeez this never ends does it. How much for a sequential

 

what was you planning on doing with the vauxhall box then?

 

dont know what mounts are like on the box, wondered if the cvh cradle could be adapted and save welding the car itself. just a thought like

 

they have got a frount mount thats fitted to the inner wing or when fitting a 6 speed box a new mount has to be welded they then have a back mount that bolts near the back lower part of the enging bay

probaly easyer to use an st170 box and then try and fit that to the cradle imo probaly easyer to just use the st170 mount tho

 

whats the prize of then cts box's and what can they handal. cos i would lik a box just to bolt stra in

 

Interested to hear more as I'm very close to purchasing one. What sort of power have you heard they break at?

 

ask tim and i think luca broke one too,hence his newly aquired st170 box!!,dont get me wrong they do handle power and not any trouble to fit with it bin an modded rst box, should handle easy 300hp good for most

 

Fair fecks to you Tim,youre on a much much higher level to most of us RST owners!!The amount of money its going to cost you to get a reliable box has me shocked!!! Way out of my league,respect to you for doing it. See you at Nat Day,regards,micky

 

aye micky im looking forward to nd if my box lasts the day i will be happy lol, will only have a bar of boost but it will be fun whatever ,as for boxes and stuff both ollie and myself have a plan his is beaing assembled as we speak also, then we can both have full power captain lmao,wasnt going to bother anymore tbh but after a few things the other day it made my mind up. Im sure 1 of us will break 180,but im more interested in 1/4 mile stuff, next year should be very good imo

 

does a st170 box have a lsd or do you have to add one?

 

:shoc ked:


well fair flappin play

glad your decided to carry on with it tim

it is a awesome weapon

 

180 in an rst would be crazy!

what differs from a cts 2+ box and a jamsport big bearing?

 

you would have to add

 

I have had a 6 speed box in mine for almost 3 years now, and never had a single issue. I did spilit it for a look after the first year and everything was fine, never tuched it since.

It does have a quife LSD. That cost about Ł700.

Simon.

 

what i meant; does it have a standard st170 box have an lsd in it from factory

 

There is no LSD fitted at the factory, you have to fit it.

 

Tim what you doing about your starter, cos i think they are on the back of the engine on an st170. is there another front cover (bell housing) you are putting on, and what you doing with the drive shafts, cos the st has a bearing on the os shaft

 

mine will be the mtx 75 not the st box so starter will be on the front
