Boost + Gearbox = Lound bang + no drive
OK how true is this, I have herd that boosting the 2.0 FS series tends to make it a gearbox eating machine, I have found 300 WHP capable Chrome Molly drive shafts, but not much in the way of gearbox hardware that claims to hold that kind of power.
I have found the clutch i want to use that will hold 280 Ft/lbs torque.. but everything between the flywheel and half shafts seems to be seen as consumable :( well in the UK I canf afford a new box every week :( and neither can I afford a straight cut dog box as it would cost twice the rest of the project.. so any ideas please ?? |
i'm afraid not....the tranny in the protege's is the same one in my SHO and I blew it up 3 times right around 280lb/ft.... Thats why I'm planning for my kit to do no more than 250hp/250lb-ft
|
This is NOT what I wanted to hear GRRR... I dont suppose anyone has looked into what other boxes might fit ?
I am going to see if the Probe V6 will fit on the FS engine.. those seem to take more.. ;) |
the main problem is the diff...spider gears like to grenade...get a strong LSD..you could easily run 300lb ft then....
|
anyone make one for our tranny's OTHER THAN the mazdaspeed unit (tochiji fuji)??? I've heard a lot of problems with those breaking.
|
Quaife...makes a badass LSD for the 1.6L,1.8L,and 2.0L
|
Last time I looked the Quaffe unit was not too bad on the price too...
So WITH the LSD you think I stand less chance of eating Gearboxes then ?? well if its going to be a one off build then I think a new box and quaffe may well be on the parts list then.. |
if you think $1300 isnt a bad price,lol :bt:
|
$1300 = £700 UKP, a second hand box would cost me half that.. and besides I dont want the hastle of changing boxes just so I can go and kill it on the strip !
