Hi
We are just building an MTX75 for my new project and after reading story after story about the FWD boys blowing gearboxes for fun, I was wondering if there is anything else that can be done to improve reliability.
I have a new 2008 box with new bearings, diesel gears, uprated diff bearings and a quaife ATB. Is there anything internally (and not £4k
) that can be done to minimize killing the box.
Power wise will be supplied by a 400-450bhp duratec turbo

I know they are Mark, hence ditching the IB5 for one. I would rather look a noob and realise there is an improvement I can make than build the box and think I should have done it afterwards. It will be getting some launches at pod so any improvement is good as the ST doesn't suit the back of a green flag lorry ![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

The biggest improvement you could make would not be to the box itself but to how your power is deliverd.
Have the engine mapped on a dyno and with an air injector for boost control, that way your boost is mapped against throttle angle and more accurately it would be if trying to map a 400bhp Fiesta on the road.
