sorry about formatting.. www.sqsracing.com is where the source info was, but its not working on the gearset link today so this is my xls sheet version
Thanks for the info!! Got a better picture of it on Excel. So, to resume things, on my car, this gearbox would do in KM/H and with the limiter set to 7200: gear max theoretical speed 1 91,7 2 120,3 3 155,8 4 186,6 5 222,1 6 263,7 (LONG ASS 1st gear!!) but even, it would be shorter than a TDI gearbox. Maybe it's not a good option for me.
I use a 4.25 in my 9A (2Y 020) which has a rev limit of 7800, on 15" wheels = 18mph / 1,000rpm in 5th - longest run I`ve done is ~ 100 miles and it`s fine .. for me. Car is stripped mind you so a few other `sounds` to listen to ... Car is used for a combination of local, daily driving and a few events - hillclimbs / sprints. The quicker `pick up` and improved tractability are excellent for the nature of the locality. Previously ran the standard 3.67 which gave 20mph / 1,000rpm in 5th and again, was happy with that ... even on a 600 mile run.
my 2.9FD was determined by only being allowed to run 5 gears in the combe saloon, as my car only came with 5 as std.. so 5th on the SQS 6spd kit (omitting 6th) gives me a 156mph @ 8200rpm limiter which was nearly identical to top of 4th on my std 02J box with 3.3FD
Since your car is a race car, it's entirely different, of course. I would like to have a good pickup, and good top end, which means, it's something really hard to get To get a good pickup, my EBD gearbox is just fine. But way to short on the top end, and it will spin like mad on lower gears. But it does 80-120km/h in 3s(or something) in 4th. So, its pretty fast. But, going at 120km/h at 4kRPM (or so) it's just a nightmare. Btw, where can I get a gearbox code list like the one you are posting?
Ehehe, I was told I can have a DZF gearbox, from a Audi TT180hp for cheap. Do you know if there is any info about it? I would like to have the "compromise" with sporadic trackdays, 1/4mile runs, and regular drives to work, just for fun.
