Straight cut gears/box options

[Grant Monkhouse]

Wouldn\'t all the damage occur if you suddenly shocked the drivetrain with that much power though? I would only run that power progressivly in say 3rd, 4th and 5th, 1st and second gear I would run at a lower power so I can get traction etc

Yes but with the power you want, coming off the gas on the gas off the gas even in third you can still brake stuff easily

This is mostly stuff I have learnt from others experience, as I will be hopefully putting it into practice when my rx4 is running by the end of this year.

I am hoping for 500fwhp and I will have to learn to drive it as that is a lot of power, I want to get a 10 second pass but I\'m going to brake stuff along the way.

So whatever power level your wanting be prepared to brake things and replace them at cost

[m1tch]

Power will be whatever the engine puts out at 1.2 to 1.4bar

GRANT: James didnt have a sequential ....his is H pattern....if it was seq\' i doubt it would have broken what it eventually broke.

MITCH: I think you should speak to Ben (initial D)....as he went from a ta45 to the T88-34D....so he can give you his real experience of the two

[m1tch]

Hmm anyone got Ben\'s contact details? He is an MRC guest it seems, so I can\'t PM also the TA45 I will be getting is a hybrid, so isn\'t a straight TA45 (just to make things harder lol)

[Ed_RX7]

he is on here and on fduk.

Hybrid how ( ie whats been changed on it?)

[Ed_RX7]

i can only assue it will be running a diffent rear section...if so then i doubt you will he running enough boost to notice the difference.....and it wil pribably be laggier. But lets see whats been done first to get an idea on what you should expect.



back to your original thread...then i would say i really depends on how much you wanna spend....and how you will be driving and launching

[m1tch]

Its Keith\'s TA45 he bought off Pete:

Think its a .9 AR HKS hotside and a .72 AR Garret compressor housing, but it doesn\'t have the larger ported shroud like I have seen other TA45s have, so it might have a TA45 centre, HKS hotside and another Garret compressor housing? Although I have just found a Garret TA45 with a .72 hotside on an aussie forum for his 9 second drag car making over 700bhp.

Oh right, I was just going off what nik had said in another thread, as he said it was sequential. What did he break exactly then?

[antnicuk]

what power do you have at the moment?

Well that is complete and utter bum cakes!!:reallymad

Let\'s hope someone has a spare lying on a shelf collecting dust some where.

Back to the box
Quaiffe did from memory, a gear kit for the FC.
Also if you can find or make a bellhousing for a Mazda to type 9 ford box you could use a Sierra cosworth box with a straight cut close ratio kit or quaiffes own sequential box.

I think he may just get a liberty box if he cant get a sequential.

....lol stock

[Ed_RX7]

how much are you looking to spend Mitch?....i just got me a os 5 speed kit...so made some new contacts in japan and the US. Also have a contact in OZ who do some good gearsets also.
