I sourced a SR16VE gearbox LSD, but in a previous thread i was reading a guy mentioned he does not like how the SR16VE LSD falls off in 3rd gear.
My question is to anyone that is using the SR16VE tranny on the SR20VE does it really fall off that much or at all?
I got a pull in a buddy of mine SR20 Primera P10 with a N15 Pulsar GTI SR18DE LSD box and the gear ratios on this box are crazy. Car accelerates like  .
Will the SR16Ve box solve my problems? |
Omaritech,
I have the SR20DE with LSD in the B11 Sunny. To first give you some info as to what is happened with my rallycar...the first, second and third are equally spaced(one builds on the other and gradually reduce the acceleration), so I get exactly what you mean about third not being quite as nice as 1st and 2nd, however after adding the 4.44 final drive, the second and third were much better. However 1st disappeared. It is over too quickly. With the SR16VE the 1st, 2nd and 3rd are slightly shorter giving about a 4km diff. between each gear if you were to use a 4.44 final drive in the SR20DE box....4th and 5th are the same in both the SR16VE and SR20DE LSD boxes. Basically, there is only a slight gain in terms of "push" by going to that box as compared to a the SR20De with the 4.44final drive. It will however feel really different to a std SR20DE.
Hope that helps you with making a decision.
Regards,
Ron
