Gti Gearbox & Quiksilver BOX - Same???

[llw]

As above will a quiksilver box fit and work onto a 106 gti

thanks

[fred]

Yea but internally they are different :)

quicksilver box is looooooong

[llw]

so will there be a big difference in the drive of the car then?

[Jeffers]

If they are long as fred says acceleration wil be sacrificed for top end providing you have the power to pull all the way!

Best box imo is a 1.4 xsi box, i have one on my gti and i cant praise it enough !

would a xsi box fit on a quiky?

^ yeah what i was thinking

[Smiff]

any 106 gearbox fits any engine, i believe. 8v boxes can be used on 16v, so should be interchangeable from 8v to 8v

a 1.1 box will give good acceleration, but poor top end, whilst a VTR or Quiksilver box will provide good top end but lesser acceleration.

1.4 XSi box is a good compromise, like Jeffers says

[llw]

with a quiksilver box on the gti will the low down power be really noticeable or will it just be slight?

[Smiff]

there will be a drop in low down power and acceleration, as the ratios on the quiky box are long.

[fred]

you want a gti box on a gti really.

^ i much prefer the xsi box for what i use the car for .

Ok 70 mph is a 4k rev job but i can hit the limiter in 5th with ease! (on that runway ;))
