to do what you want you would need a close ratio f16 box fitted with a pair of 5th gears from a wide ratio box, but if you got it wrong you could end up with a huge drop in revs from 4th to 5th!

I'm unclear on the question but if you mean could you have better acceleration and a better top end then the answer is no!

If you put a longer final drive in a F16 SR then you'd basically have a weak F20.

Its not so simple though - there are a few different versions of the F16 box, some of which are the same ratios as F20 I think.

You'd have to count the teeth to know exactly what you have.

I understand the F16 box on a xe gives better acceleration than an f20 but sacrifices top end. was just wondering if i could nick the final drive from a f20 and use it on the f16 and would it give the same top end figure?
