Gearbox to Saxo 8v

[steffeen]

Hello Saxperience
I'm using my Saxo 1,6 8v vtr for rally light in Denmark which is legal road cars going for small maneuver races which is 3-5 km long.

My gearbox the original 1,6 8v is going for a change soon and I need to know if I would win anything in acceleration with a 16v / GTI gearbox instead?
The ideal would be a 1300 gearbox but I cant find anyone in a good condition and I am offered a cheap GTI gearbox.

Does anyone know the 2 gearbox codes, and the gearings on them?
and would i win any acceleration with a gti gearbox?

thanks

Yes. Final drive is lower on the 16v box, so you would/should notice an improvement with a reduced top speed.
Xsi boxes are also a good all rounder but hard to locate.
Search the forum for final drive and ratios, there's been many debates and a spreadsheet was produced
