biggerbigben 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Putting the 'SALE' on hold while I do some much-needed improvements. So I'm looking to do a 02J Tdi gearbox conversion (internals) into the 02C syncro bell housing. This will not only give a much better spread of ratios for cruising but the potential top speed is quite serious. More on that later people.. Going to probably flatten the lacquer back and have another go in the engine bay and finish tidying everything so it will hopefully look neat and respectable, as its a mess still! Now its done over 1000 miles I can see what’s rubbing etc and take steps to make sure it will be all good for many 000’s of miles! Really want to finish off all those little bits all over the car. More updates soon as project corrado 20vt 4x4 enters its 5th year of evolution !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biggerbigben 0 Posted October 11, 2006 yeah yeah ... Its still for sale but I'm just improving it.. ! Will be fun to see the outcome of tdi ratios though... We'll have to get that group thrash at Bruntingthorpe sorted! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmn 0 Posted October 11, 2006 Not been on in a while, Ben, this sounds good and you know when you do that you definatly wont want to sell it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoxyLaad 0 Posted October 11, 2006 dunno whether I mentioned it before on this thread(cant be arsed to look through it) but my 1.8T had tdi ratios and it was perfect. suited the character of the engine perfectly. I stuck a 6 speed box in it and ruined it as a road car imo. tdi gears are a good move with the torque spread you have - third gear will waste everything!

biggerbigben 0 Posted October 14, 2006 Bought a tdi gearbox.. You guys are going to love this, I've been searching for a gearbox with the part number beginning in CTN. The reason for all the excitment is "IF" there were enough grunt from the engine and 7000 RPM was possible in 5th gear.. guess what speed is possible!??! ..... are you sitting down? .... ok.. = 214 mph!! hehe.. ;-) Won't get anywhere near that with 340bhp but its a start.. Really its the low rpm on the motorway I'm interested in and the fact I will be able to hit 78mph in 2nd!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted October 14, 2006 cool! I'll be able to hit 60 in first with my new ratios ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
