6 Speed Box On An Mi16?

[changingman 7 1 Cars]

Hi,ive been thinking about getting a 6 speed box fitted onto my 205 which is running a cammed Mi16 engine as it currently hits the rev limiter in every gear including 5th.

 

Would it make it worse due to the ratios??

 

Cheers

My 1.9 8v will hit its limiter in 5th too, doesnt mean i want to change the box though as its doing 138 odd by then and its just a road car

 

Itll drop the revs in 5th over an mi box by around 150 rpm, 1-3 is like a 1.6 box without such a large gap from 1st to 2nd and a shorter 4th-5th

 

 

What and where is it used for, and is it such a bad thing to see the limiter? Youll be pushing 150 on a 6 speed box and over 7k

Oh and forget turning right or saving an epic slide....

I was told its a 1.6 box,maybe this is one of the reasons it takes off like its ass in on fire.

I will be using it predominantly for the track and intend to take it to the ring next year.

150 sounds good!!

What do you mean by forget turning right????

 

I gotta have it right,if throwing it around and getting it round is going to be hampered by a 6 speed box then that aint no good,i dont wanna be autographing bits of arnco do i!!

Six speed is larger than the five and limits lock to lock.

Ahh i see,maybe not the best idea then as i dont intend to keep it in a straight line much!!

 

Does the performance gain make it worthwhile though do you think.

I've done it, the box is very nice to use, right hand lock is reduced yes but I can live with it no problem. Have a good read of this
