I have an oppliger close ratio, it is awesome. Not the quietest thing, but not too load, you get some chatter and a bit of the whine of a straight cut box, they have proven to be good for around 700bhp and massive torque.

The main benefit is how the turbo stays on song but even off boost you make quick progress. It is a much faster car than before. The quick shift is good too and very rifle bolt action like but it would be quite easy to wrong slot it. Mine is semi straight cut.

Oppliger now makes or is making a 6 speed version which would be good.

what is the standard gear ratios , my car does
about 110 in 3rg gear and about 140 in 4th but the ratios he has sent me says 106 in 3rd and 145 in 4th which is higher than standard or have I missed something
cheers

I have the standard ratio opligger box with 3.9 diffs and find it great

i bet that's a lot better to use on the roads jay , for some reason I have it in my head that the car will be an evo in the 1st few gears with a close ratio box then still retain the standard 5th gear so good on a cruise and top speed

Caddyshack

I have 3.9 doffs, 16 inch wheels and close ratio, it tops out about 145/ 150 but it goes like a train in between, you are a long way off but if ever down this way come and try mine

cheers lads , mine was a little bit quicker on standard wheels , av got some research to do then lol

smiley

You can have 5th wider if your going for one mate I asked for this thinking the same as you but I've been told their pretty tall anyway

eel-roy-t5r

yeah , hes sent me the sheets with all the data on but it makes no sense to me lol , obs it be no good if I only top out at 120ish , still need 150 lol

smiley

Lol made no sense to me either I chose the widest think theirs only 2 to chose from whatever it does at least it won't be reving to high on motorway
800 bhp said that his close ratio has him at 3k at 70 mph if I remember rightly

800bhp

3k at 70mph was standard ratio.

Short ratio is 60ish at 3k

smiley

Shit memory

Caddyshack

Yeah I get about the same as 800 bhps

So do i lol

So the rpm per 1000rpm is around 20mph so x by rev limit of 7.5k would be 150mph.
