Peetypug 5 Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) will it go straight on? if not what needs changing? i've got the 1.6 clutch and plate, but i'm thinking i need a bigger clutch i have searched and searched but they all seem to cover mi16/vts/gti6 and 1.9 boxes thanks in advance P.S i'm sticking with the 1.6 box no matter what unless somebody has a known good mi16 box they want to swap Edited May 9, 2008 by sorrentopete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Holley 11 Posted May 9, 2008 Its the same as fitting a 1.9 box, you need an alloy block mi16 cover plate and release bearing, might aswell get a complete clutch while you are at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monty69 6 Posted May 11, 2008 It can be really tricky keeping it in the powerband because of the gap between 1st and 2nd, made all the more difficult because of the insane wheelspin in 1st! Goodluck to you fella Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurboSam 5 Posted May 11, 2008 I don't have any wheelspin issues in first with mine in the dry, I've got parada tyres which must help I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monty69 6 Posted May 11, 2008 I got zero grip as soon as full throttle was touched in 1st with 140lb torque and 170+hp. That was with eagle f1s 195s 30psi tracked and even tyre wear. i will be trying yokos when they wear out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurboSam 5 Posted May 11, 2008 unless my gti6 engine is underpowered, although it does seem pretty lively I think the weight of the iron block engine helps too, my brother's XS wheelspins easily with the light alloy TU engine, and that has half the power of my car..
