GSi lump and diesel box

[125scouse]

i've got hold of a nova GSi lump and diesel gearbox, just wondering if anyone has had his combination before? and if so what sorta performance figures are we talking?

thanks people :twisted:

the box is on the engine now m8 8) its been in a car running, but i dont know what it performed like when it was in the car, i aquired the engine off a friend you see :lol:

on the end plate of the gearbox (passenger side wheel arch) there will be a number and letters stamped into it... get that and post it up.

also look on the top of the box near the selectro turret and see what F number it is.

will be slow accelerating but very high top speed (if it can get there) and good economy

al have a look see tommorow :wink:

thought it would accelerate quicker with the ratios being lower :?

No it would accelarate quicker, seen a few RS turbos with a diesel gearbox to get up the strip quicker.

thought it would accelerate quicker with the ratios being lower :?

they are are higher...the td doesn't have as many revs to play with so needs longer gears to get any top end speed

P628 is one of the numbers i can see, theres no code beginning with an F though lie most of the vauxhall gearboxes though :?

[125scouse]

anyone done it before then? :|

You can see the W418 stamped on the end plate here next to the earthstrap
