one of my m8s killed 1st gear with a c20seh in his nova but apart of that it was a cheap, easy to do solution. i wanted check it and know it for future, as some1 might be interested in such a conversion.

i'm getting the kit from m-tech, as i need bigger shafts for turbo - f13 + 2.0 conversion was supposed to be to a project to learn sth new.

Andy has around 147-149 lb/ft if I remember rightly.

Pretty sure he is using a f13 as well but with an f15 final ratio or something? :boggle:

Torque kills boxes not bhp. He wont have more than about 130lb/ft..... He uses a F15 as well no doubt......

so the f13 box would be a pile of bits in no time

my mate used to have a gsi
he er killed 3 gear boxs
in a year
not by racing or anything of course

I thought the whole big block/small block box differences were actually due to the mounting edges on block/box. Obviously not.......

An F13 can apparently take 130lb/ft of torque, c20xe's have 144 standard....

i just force it in
if i break it ill just ave to put a 2 litre in sooner
hehehe

Mine crunches sometimes if i change into 4th and then back into 3rd in a short space of time.... makes me look a rightn idiot!

i dont know what g/box is in my car but i seem to be killing it...........
shifting gear that fast was neva meant for my box he he
hate it when it cruches
bastid

My 1.6 16v TB's conversion destroyed a f13 box. 2.0 16v would last 5 minutes. :lol:

u r joking right?? the 2l will destroy it

it's relatively easy to modify the flywheel and clutch to fit this small gbox to the bigblock. shafts than can be the same as standard. i wanted to make such a thing just to check and i wonder if some1 already done it.

btw, do you always use converting kits while putting 2.0 16v into b-corsa?
