whats the longest ratiio diff available to fit a cossie, and what approx speed it give at 5000rpm on 225/40/16 tyres?

ta

 

3.3 grananda diesel diff all you will need is the crown wheel and pionion

 

will the crown wheel and pinion take any decent power / torque?

 

3.3, whats std again? and can anyone calculate aprox speed at 5k?

 

bttt

 

Standard is 3.64 so a 3.3 will be alot longer in the gears more top end at less revs if you can pull it

mike

they should be able to take decent power / torque they are no different to a 7" cossie crown wheel and pinion

 

using those figures, 5000RPM in a standard cossie T5 5th gear would be 130.08 MPH, and at 8000RPM would be 208.13

this is a good site to do gearing, final drive and wheel and tyre calculations

and on 17" rims same tyre size 5000RPM= 135.72 MPH and 8000RPM= 217.14MPH

 

130mph Thats pooh, but no choice, the car in question isnt really that safe to rev over 5000rpm

 

Steve you flid, I PM'd you the answer to this when you asked me the same thing weeks ago .

 

Yea, and ive deleted it by accident

 

The Granada diff is actually 3.36 and is what I had in my car.

Are you trying to build a quick diesel or something?

 

nope

 

Have you bought Imas engine?

 

how wide is the diff in the granada? 7"? 7.5"?

 

Mike,
Given that the CWPs for the different diffs are not interchangeable, hazard a guess .

 

going on a previous reply by you, you say you had one in your car, therefore, if this was the sapphire, then i would hazard a guess at 7.5", but hey, i'm sure i'll be wrong, or even if i'm right, you'll still find somew way to take the piss...

 

Nope, spot on. Damn, you spoil all my fun .
