I saw this on e-bay and was wondering if the D-turbo box makes much of a difference? looking to make mine a bit quicker as it's track use only and I rarely use 5th let alone 6th, I also have a spare HDI box if that would work better, but is there any point swapping them? As normal cash is tight so looking for cheap upgrades.Clicky ________________________________________ My GTi6 track projectWhite Rallye project |

With a diesel box you'd only use the first 3 gears then! They're a longer box not shorter  ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

if you want to do one million mph, then yeah go ahead and fit one...you'll struggle to beat the std gearbox though, a 1.9 205 box on a 4.4 fd from an MI16 s16 or early xsara vts would be quite short. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

As welshpug says 1.9 box with s16 final drive(crownwheel and pinion) is a nice/cheap short box ________________________________________ www.bridgecraftmotorsport.co.uk |

Out of sheer interest what would a d-turbo box do at the rev limiter in 1st?Also what would the rpm sit at on the motorway at 70mph? I'm purely curious! ________________________________________ GTI-6 & RallyeRallye gets sideways in the wet at Snetterton  |

Much the same as later boxes, but they are be4 and have differences which makes mixing parts with older boxes more difficult (some bits dont fit)________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I know i had a XSi box on a Gti lump before now, me and a mechanic mate of mine talked about making the 5th ratio longer by swapping it with a diesel 5th Ratio? Would this improve it?________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!! You'll need to throw money at the car.

unlikely, as its the final drive ratio that makes the most difference.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |
