GSi Gearbox

[DanB]

Hey i have a Nova GSi and it feels no where near as quick as my last two but it pulls in the gears for a long time so i was wondering if it is possible to tell what gearbox it has from external inspection as i think it maybe a WR and if possible what am i looking for cheers

[peester]

supposed to be a F13CR

[peester]

what revs u doing at 70mph in fifth? shud be about 4000 i think..

[Dpnova]

thought it was 80 at 4k

[Ste L]

my sri does about 80 at 4k, its got an f10 in it

[Ste_Nova]

mine is an sr and it has an F10 CR revs at about just over 4 at 80 i think, worries me sometimes i think its gonna pop lol

[Ste_Nova]

nah i know it wont go bang lol, but it sounds like it sometimes, and though you need another gear 8)

[Aragorn]

there is a engine number changeover on c14se blocks where they changed to the larger 1600 flywheel

engines before that number will have the F10, after it they have the F13

the gearing is stamped on the end cap
