Transmission swap or gear set?
So I'm doing a relatively high power FA20 build, and am caught up in the transmission. I was initially planning on doing a V160 swap, but the cost and lack of production for this transmission bothers me. One of the companies I was looking at for the V160 suggested I do a gear set instead, so there wouldn't have to be any modification to the tunnel.
I would like to hear from people who have done a gear set in their 86. How much power are you making, is the drive quality similar to stockish, and who did you go through? Thank you

Someone here was developing dog gears for two gears. I can’t remember who. Another had a full set for like $6k. The other options that are popular are the R154 and the CD009. It depends on your power goals/needs.

Yeah, I've been gone for a while. Sold the condo, so I have a bit of disposable income to work on the car. New wheels/ tires already, brakes and suspension. Transmission and rear end are next, which is why I'm trying to figure out what way I should go.

Spencer fabrication was developing a sequential dog box as well but went out of business before they finished

https://www.ft86speedfactory.com/hol...l#.W6hcCS-ZNo4 I feel like a CD009 should handle plenty of power and would be the cheapest route. Ask @FRS Justin ... The guy has a 700+whp FRS, so he might know what will hold power. Here is his build thread: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90240 I don't know if he ever had these for purchase: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113327 Verus had this beta, but I don't know where they are at now with the product: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...light=gearsets

Irace86.2.0: IIRC Holinger is more of expensive end of seq gearbox makers. Shouldn't something like Samsonas or MFactory have cheaper ones?

One-off boxes are usually not cheap, but yea, there are cheaper ones. I think the difference might be volume or just general specs/use of materials.

I'd expect for holinger to be more finese, maybe less nvh, for maybe even DD use, if i judge by that video on holinger's seq box ft86sf product page. Possibly branding also may play some role in pricing policies. And worth checking, if those $20K include or not shipping & importing costs, which may add up high for something as big and heavy shipped from down under.
Samsonas also is of custom ratios. Probably completely ok durability/strength wise (as often is used in motorsports too), but imho may fare a bit worse where nvh matter. Though then again this is just wild guess. Also price of ~$10K(£7850) here is without shipping/importing/VAT costs. |
