Its not bhp that damages engines its torque. Fitting very wide wheels, uprated clutches etc will reduce box life. | |

quote: nope m8... a f20 is a capable of handling standard LET power for a many a mile... its only when u tune LET is the f20 gonna suffer, hence requiring F28 and uprated clutch A f28 is essential when u push 300bhp+ amongst other suspension modifications ;);)... also if the car does motorway mileage :wave::thumbs: | |

my mates astra turbo running 280bhp went through 3 f20 gearboxes. must just be to do with howe good the box is initially, or how hard its drove, hey beardy thought u might of had a play on the motorway coming back from pv show? i was rather dissapointed that u didnt wanna race!:(:thumbs: i thought an f20 could cope with 250bhp? but anymore and u need the f28? i stand to be corrected though! | |

Sorry dude, those people are wrong. I'll go with what Kris says above. It will shred the F20 after a few thousand miles. | |

some people ive spoke to say an F20 will cope with the LET engine, plus the F28 will be a bitch to fit in an 8v corsa & weighs as much more as an extra passenger compared to the F20 | |
