has anyone ever thought about doing this? Tbh i dont think it will be that hard, i was thinking obviously a oil cooler, electric pump, oil lines and fittings. Suppose you could take your feed from the drain plug and return into fill to spill plug??? What u think??________________________________________ |

Overkill, we only use them on odd occasions with the offroaders and they take far more transmission abuse than a 306 ever would.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Really isn't required...I've used my car on track and fast road for years now in it's current spec and have never had an issue with the transmission due to the oil getting too hot. You're overthinking things...  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Even after 45 minutes on track or an hour of fast road driving through Europe, the gear change was as silent and smooth as anything so I'm guessing that it was all good in there.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Surely it's only going to serve the purpose of adding unnecessary weight to the car though?  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Stick some temperature tell-tale stickers on the gearbox casing and see what your getting up to. No point adding unnecessary weight and complexity if you don't actually need it in the first place. I've thought about doing this myself too and would be interested to know how hot they do get under extreme use but I suspect they don't get hot enough for oil degradation to be an issue. Probably the biggest contributing factor to the boxes temperature will be the heat soak from being bolted to a roasting hot engine. So keeping engine/engine bay temps low in the first place will probably be enough to do the job.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Yup, so bolting a gert big turbo and downpipe over it might not be the best plan You do see them on touring cars and wrc's rallycross etc, but they have significantly more expensive boxes, and on the ralycross cars an immense amount of torque, 500 bhp 700+ Nm!!! (from iron block XU's in many cases!) ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I don't think you would have a problem, Binkagti used to run a turbo on his '6' and never had transmission problems I'm pretty sure. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
