My nephew is thinking of buying one, it'll be his first cossie (GODBLESS HIM) he asked me what`s the maximumish ft.lb the gearbox can cope with, i said around 370bhp/370ft.lb am i right, or off the mark..

EXSCUSE my ingnorance, i've never had one so don't know a great deal about the 4WD Transmission...

to be honest Pete, it will break at anything over 300 imo,its just a matter of when.

i have had a few boxes last a good while at 350 and then some last a month or two.

i suggest buying an escos with an uprated box fitted to it already.

hope he finds a nice car.

Dave,

Anything over 300 thought they'd be stronger than that..

Proves what i know about the 4wd..

Mind you, i've seen you drive matey........

they can withstand my 400 bhp car,but its how long it can last Pete as it WILL break.

i think at about 300 ish it will last a good while,but thats depending on the drivers mechanical sympathy and how good the box is.

it WILL happen one day Matt.

Daviet

is that fraser i take it? is he not about 350 at AVA which is probably a good 400 anywhere else
hinks doesnt drive his that much but he certainly drives it hard when he does and still sounds ok.and thats stage 3.my mate with moonstoone saff is also stage 3 and has been ok

col cos1

iTrader: (5)

yeah fraser`s esco,its 310bhp @wheels davie

stevie`s car is super low milage aswell

i suppose itsall down to age of box/condition
the driver
torque curve

i had 2 stage 3 4x4 saphs ,and alot of hard launching at crail in the dry and never had a box or clutch let go,both standard clutch and box
and both with quickshifts

although i did always get a slight clutch into 3rd on one of them when kaining it

but you never know how old the gearbox is,milage done etc
