vts with vtr gearbox

[mogzyvts]

hi i have a saxo vts and it had a recon vtr gear box fitted before i got it.
jus wondering if this is at any loss in terms of performance at all.
i was told vts boxes are better for top end speed and the vtr box better for acceleration.
true or not?

thanks :y:

You have been told wrong, its the other way round, although top speed isnt so much of a factor with them two boxes.

oh rite ok nice 1 mate cheers. heard a 106 rallye box's r worth looking at. gets abit hairy over 100mph anyway lol.

If you want shorter gearing then yeh the rallye boxes are worth looking at. 1.6 rallye box is the same as a 1.6 xsi box irc. 1.3 is alot shorter.

S2 rallye boxes aren't much different from a vts box iirc. A s1 box on the other hand will give mental acceleration, but top speed will be about 115 on the limiter iirc. There not common though.

how many revs will a vts be on, at 70mph on the motorway?

about 4,500 195/45/15 tyres
