Postby 25v6turbo » Sat Aug 20, 2005 2:30 pm

got a spare un1 box,and i,am thinking of rebuilding(or getting it rebuilt!)so that maybe acceleration can be improved??using different ratios,this is for my 25 V6 TURBO,is it a worthwhile project to do or a waste of time??if worth doing,any idea on ratios etc,want 0-60 speed,not worried about top end really

Im sure Ive said this before....:D

The R25 has the fastest accelerating box with its 3.89 final drive. You can make it faster by fitting a 4th and 5th from a 21 Turbo.

There is a 4.11 final drive used on a French 25.., but obviously hard to find.. :lol:
