Re: 2.5 tranny on 1.8?

yes barry i realize that you said that in like the second post, i was just trying to add to this point by showing that not just 5th gear is going to be affected by the swap, all speeds will due to the different final gear ratio.

Re: anyone ever bored out their 1.8 TB 60mm

my goodness that sounds like a ton of work battosai! i am still thinking that it would be soooo much easier to work with a bored out K8 TB. what exactly is the process that a machinist goes through to bore a throttle body? i know that we have a machine shop at the place i work and maybe the guys the...

Re: 2.5 tranny on 1.8?

you are right on IanL, you beat be by about 30 minutes saying the same thing. using the MX-6 or 626 tranny with the smaller final gear ratio would effect speeds in ALL gears and ALL RPM's. this means it would change (slightly) the performance of the MX-3. also, from what i have gathered the 626 is e...

Re: anyone ever bored out their 1.8 TB 60mm

yes, if the KL Throttle body matches the K8 manifold it would make life alot easier. but from what ive heard they don't, meaning boreing is the only option for the K8 TB :( . i searched the corksport website and it don't sell bored MX-3 TB's, it looks like they are only selling the KL's. so my only ...

anyone ever bored out their 1.8 TB 60mm

as the topic states, i was wondering since all the KL guys like to put 65mm TB's in place of 60mm, has anyone ever pulled this on the 55mm K8 TB? is there a possible HP/Torque gain here? would there need to be any adjustments, fuel management wise, to make up for the extra volume?

Re: 2.5 tranny on 1.8?

a 626 or MX-6 transmissions years 93-97 have a lower final gear ratio (4.111) compared to an MX-3 or Probe (4.388). meaning if you were to use a MX-6 or 626 transmission your engine will run at lower RPM at a certain speed compared to the other. i believe that the 626 is geared down even lower than ...
