I'm sure 400bhp or whatever this will become will strain both boxes

the f20 sccr will not cope with 400bhp and the torque to go with it, i think quaiffe rate the f20 sccr kit at 200 ft lbs or somethign like that

mark beeson has had issues with his f20 sccr

while they last though i would take one over an f28 they sound awesome, as mathew said if it breaks he'll fix it and with all the bits being available from quaife it'll be an easy but expensive fix if it goes wrong :thumb:

f23 would be an option but needs hydraulic clutch and different mounts i think parts are still available from vaux for the box

Hi martin been a fan of your car for years

Live in crew green at the minute but am in oswestry a lot of the time

Where do you work

Glad someone else mentioned torque destroying gears; not power.

That said there's no way a quaife cluster would only be rated at a standard F20s 200FT LBS

Why not ?

The gear kit was designed for a xe and how many of those put out over 200lb ft ?

I'm not sure how relevant ythis point is, but the strongest gears or shafts in the world, held by a weak casing will rip out anyway.

Is the F20 casing upto 400bhp?? (are we using 400bhp as the assumed figure here?)

It's got to make 350 - 400 surly judging by the spec and quality of build???

IIRC the other nova owner mentioned in here had problems with the quaife parts not the vauxhall ones used.

I dont know the parts that failed but he did mention it when he collected some bits from my house with Martin Weaver. IIRC SBS supplied the bits to sort it so he could say what was needed.
