anybody know this? - Saxperience

ok-i was woundering if the gearboxez on 1999 models and 2000+ are the same for the saxo?
i have read lots to say that it is,so if i put in a gear box from a vtr/s in to a furio then a turbo,it would get up to the 140+ if was tuned up "AS BEST AS YOU CAN GET" along this subject- how hard would it be to put in a final ratio into the gear box in 1.4 from 1.6/2.0?and would i have to declare to insurer about the fact that the gearbox has bin fideld?ofcorse about the turbo!

Barry123 · 13th July 2006, 11:32

Yes the gearboxes are the same across the age range for that particular model (except on the derv which did have a final drive change part way through it's life)... with the newer gearboxes will be a better choice as citroen will have probably made a few smallish changes through out the production of the saxo

EDIT: and now i've read your question properly...
The saxo 1.0 and 1.1 have the same box.
the Furio and Derv have the same box
The VTS has the same box as a 1.1 but with a different final drive
and the VTR is the same as the furio and derv but with a different final drive (i think thats right for the VTR box)

And it's best to discuss a modification like the gearbox with your insurance company before hand... i doubt they would take the gearbox to pieces in the event of a claim though.

ok so how hard you recon it will be to fidle them final/d'z?,and comon when is the last time you seen a sax at the scrappy that had a dismanteld gear/b?
anyway i need to eva switch g boxez with furio but want to down on up speed and up on top speed,wa box is beta please state the model and year

Scott^p · 13th July 2006, 12:16

dude take a little more time to post and type in english then we can understand better what your looking for.

Vtr box will give you a higher top speed and slower acceleration

yeah, after getting my saxp translator to decipher that in I can tell you...

If the 1.1 box and the VTS box have the same ratios barring the final drive then I suspect it would be relatively easy to change the final drive. I'm out of league when it comes to this really. you would be better off hunting for a VTR box. Do a search... I've posted the ratios for each box plenty of times.

Billog_VTR · 13th July 2006, 12:23

get a 1.1 box. no top end but extremely quick though gears

rozhkov · 13th July 2006, 12:35

ok guy's im sorry for the fanulscnvhsrbghsddbhsbvhbsfgvh,so you think vtr for top speed?how much to have the box put in by citreon themself's?as i would like a peice of mind that if the fuck it up then its all good,and you know the ebay torboz....ya na wa i meen yaaa?they are shit but for a 1.4 would you notice a upper?as max tested it on mr2 2.0 and there was less with and more without but more psi/suction on mr2 than sax-so what you all recon?

rozhkov · 13th July 2006, 14:15

just had citroen qoute me 390 for gear/b and clutch interchange.....(((WTF)))

Billog_VTR · 13th July 2006, 17:33

Were you execting anything different?!?! Dealership prices are extreme..too extreme. You can get gaurantee at certain garages that arent dealership for probably half that!

vtsturbo · 14th July 2006, 11:34

man i must be getting old as my eyes seem to be failing me.

i`d like to try post up some help but can`t understand a thing you post, my apologies if taken as an insult.

Scott^p · 14th July 2006, 12:20

been told already mate, i cant understand half of it either but i did catch that the haynes wasnt worth £20 and you say your no mechanic. The haynes manual is a bible

rozhkov · 14th July 2006, 12:28

ok i meen its not got my engine in it(dont ask me why)its ok to fing faults but i want the max/power one,is it any good?
and no offence taken,as your not in my shoes so i dont know the half im thinkin half the time hahahha

Mattvtr · 14th July 2006, 12:41

max power one wont do anything like a gearbox, etc so better using haynes manual

Ratty · 14th July 2006, 14:02

haynes wont tell you a gearbox either, if you cant understand the haynes manual you shouldnt be aloud to touch your car as you wont have the ability to understand simple things like why torque settngs are important and the reason things are present e.g. the standard airbox or breathers etc.

what you on about mate "not aloud" so no nubbi to michanics is aloud to play with there car? get a grip of the real world will you,
As for the max power-i want ideas,i have the haynes and can read and ant stupid,as far as the mag goes im just gona get a garage to do it hence thats there prof.
mine is electronics,computers,hardware and software,im not a boff just not new to that
ANYWAY,thats was the thread.....so sticking to it none of you actualy said anthing in anyway useful APART FROM ADSAYER thank YOU

Ratty · 14th July 2006, 14:46

i said shouldnt be allowed (notice the wrong word use as well) as if you dont understand the basics you risk doing more bad than good. And sadly the real world is full of people who think they can do things when they cant (who would really do something without knowing exactly what they are doing).

Max power is the worst place to start for ideas, as its like a bad habbit.

Also simple use of english wouldnt go a miss instead of text speak.

you what is electric computers hardware and software? can you get non electric computers??

I did say something usefull, get a haynes, understand it, and it doesnt have the gearbox stuff in.

hmmm.

anyway if you dont intend on helping in any why are you still going on?forget it
comon sense is not a COMON THING,IN SAXP-
