f 13 box mated onto 2.0 16v? possible

[turbo-boy]

is it possible to mate a f13 box onto a red top?heard somone say that it could be done if so wat fly wheel and clutch do ya need.

[scottc1088]

xe flat flywheel redrilled to take smaller clutch, either 1.6 16v clutch or 1.7td i cant remember

[General Baxter]

do a bloody search, and you will find out its not worth it lol

[robertdevlin69]

will that box not jus desintegrate after a while it cant be made to take the up in tourqe

[scottc1088]

it wont take the power for long no. he asked if it can be done not if its a good idea to do lol.
i used a f15 on my xe but didnt last very long so i put a f20 on

[staggy_gsi]

absolutely no point whatsoever and if you know it wont last long why even bother asking about it?!

[Philsutton]

please dont do it, I really should when i have some free time bodge one onto the turbo an ram 500lb/ft of torque through one as proof they cant handle interstella power

Even the bit about redrilling the fecking flywheel is enought to put anyone off!! lol

haha good point few of my friends hav done it to 8valvesbut they crank has less holes in them so you can use a derv flywheel. im doing an xe convertion to a corsa does there hav to be any modifeying to the d/s chassis leg???

Don't forget the armour plating around the box if you do it Phil, on that engine I'd expect to see bits of gears coming clean through the bonnet/bulkhead!lol lol

The gearbox code gives away the amount of torque it will take before blowing up!! For example: An F13 will take 130Nm before dying under your ass. the XE will give 198Nm torque and there for is fitted with the F20(200Nm)
I have tried it with an F13 and at the first sprint ussing slicks the diff went flying throug the firewall!!

Phil if you do do it don't forget the vid!

dont let stu see you say that lol



The clutch would transfer that kind of power anyway so my dreams of owning a piddly littl F13 are over.
