gary205 0 5 Cars Posted May 28, 2008 I've done a search but can't find a gearbox like this. Car was originally a 1.6 but had Skip Brown 1.9S conversion done a long time before I bought it. At first, I assumed it had a 1.6 box but it seems to be something different. I've had a couple of 1.6s in the past and I'm sure this revs higher at "motorway" speeds. I've got a spare Mi16 box which I'm going to try in the next few weeks but would like to know what box is currently fitted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,629 Posted May 28, 2008 sounds a lot lower than a 1.6 box, they'd be doing 4200 rpm ish at 80. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
White Pugs 6 Posted May 28, 2008 Std 1.9 with a 4.4 CWP? J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gary205 0 5 Cars Posted May 28, 2008 Welshpug, thats what I thought. Definetly different from a standard 1.6 box. I'll check what rpm its doing at 80. White Pugs, I see from your signature you've got 4.4 CWP, is this from the Mi16 box? Apart from that have you got standard 1.9 ratios? If so, is yours doing 4000rpm at 70 in 5th?

engine killer 5 Posted May 29, 2008 sounds like a 306S16 gearbox. 0.845 5th and 4.4 fd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VisaGTi16v 1 Posted May 29, 2008 1.6 ratios is 4000 for me at 70mph in 5th but then I run 175/60/13 Yoko 48r's on the road so smaller than your presumably 14's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markw 1 Posted May 29, 2008 as James says 4000rpm at 70mph = 17.5mph per thousand rpm in top sound just like the box skips did for me, std 1.9 gearset fitted with the MI16(4.4)crown wheel and pinion i had a 4.8 in my sprint car which gave 15mph per thousand rpm in top so 4k rpm was only 60mph in that!!!

What he said! Hello Matey, long time no speak. Saw Mr C the other day at Loton, he was telling me tales about this lad he knows who sold a v quick 205, bought a E36 M3 and is now after another 205. Does this sound like anyone you know? J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markw 1 Posted May 30, 2008 hi James what a coincidence that sound just like what i did, 2 tips for you 1 don't buy an M3 there too heavy and too dull 2 never ever sell your 205,i had mine for 7 years spent £000`s on it as was only without it for 3 months before i bought another one now i am spending £7-8k on another one (for mod prod class), see you soon PS did you ever get Dave's record at harewood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattmk1 0 Posted May 31, 2008 At 70 mph mine does exactly 4k rpm in fifth. Mi16 lump and standard 1.6 box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
