Gearbox Swap

Well I got thinking which can be bad for me will a vr6 gearbox fit a 1.8 16v engine ?

 

if so what would be needed to fit it ? Except a v6 engine

 

I know a standard valver would have no benefit whith the v6 gearbox fitted but would it a make a differnace if the valver has turbo fitted?

 

I'm sorry if this question has already been asked, I'm still searching through search results.

 

Thanks

VR6 gearbox has a completely different bell housing from the 4 cylinder gearbox... You'd need to change the bell housing over to get it to fit, and even then I'm not sure if it'd work or not...

the 1.8 16v gearbox has closer and shorter ratio's than the other Corrado boxes, it's actually the best suited to the high revving valver.

oh Right so how high does the v6 rev then ?

 

Does anyone know what the max speed you would get from a standerd box with lets say a supercharged or turbo valver?

 

Would a sports clutch benfit the valver ? if so what do you recommend?

7200 on the 1.8 valver.

 

7000rpm would get you to about 150mph on the 1.8 5th ratio
