gearboxes for vtr

[_THE_STIG_]

what would a vts box do to the performance in a vtr
amd what would a furio box do to the performance of a vtr?

[Ryanp]

vts box would effectively give better in gear acceleration, and lower theoretical top speed.

furio box wont do a huge difference tbh.

[_THE_STIG_]

i thought i vts box would make it slower accel and better top end
and obv furio faster accel and lower top end

[_THE_STIG_]

how does that work then?

[Ryanp]

vts box ratios are effectively closer than vtr because of the final drive. Will give better in gear performance, but will mean theoretical top speed is less.

VTR box is the longest of them all, hence why it can have a stupid theoretical top end of like 180mph on a high spec engine lol.

would it make much difference ryan
and how much would it cost from a garage to change a box

would make a slight difference.

garages charge a fair bit, between 120-200 from some quotes ive seen from people.

not really much point on a vtr imo.

if youve spent 5k on an engine then a decent box is a must.

have a search mate covered alot lately.

dont bother with a furio box.

VTS box will be spot on for you.
As ryan said looking at £120 to change a box unless you go to manic motors, whats your clutch like? maybe worth changing that at the same time.

Normally get a good VTS box for £150ish

i paid £80 to swap my box over from vtr to vts box that included the oil.
its made a mass difference its alot more torquier and the top end is better on the flat.

[tobyk]

Think a shorter box is the next mod to my VTR unless I Eaton it.

iv heard the vtr box is good for boost, gd16 says his car pulls all the way to the limiter in 5th, any idea what speed this is?
