hi, i have a mi16, 1.9 and a 1.6 box. i am mid point fitting the mi16 engine to my 205 and will be using it for road rallies 'night events' is it best to use the mi16 box, or the 1.9 with the mi16 cwp? i will be fitting a tranx lsd. which ramp angles would i need?

1.9 with the Mi16 final drive would be good, you don't need top speed for the lanes

 

Can;t answer for the ramp angles, depends how fierce you want it and the surfaces really, Miles can advise I would imagine.

thanks

Mi16 FDR is 4.4 compared to the 1.6/1.9's basically 4.0.

Mi16 - 4.43

1.6 GTi - 4.06

1.9 GTi - 3.62

 

Mi16 cwp in a 1.9L box is definitely the cheapest and best option for your application.

You have to completly strip the gearbox to fit the pinion which is part of the main shaft.You have to take off the back cover to fit the crownwheel/diff. You have to swap all the gears onto the new shaft. 1.9 gears and the Mi16 final drive is a good combination. The 1.9 and 1.6 gear ratios are pretty similar but 1st is very short in the 1.6.

The Mi16 final drive is 4.4:1, 1.6 GTi is 4.0:1 & 1.9 GTi is 3.68:1.
