Fitted a Derv G/Box to my 180
Well as my diff has been whining for a while i thought it was time to do something about it, I was told by a m8 that some 180 owners have fitted diesel boxes so i thought i would give it a try, I think it will improve fuel consumption because at 50mph its only at 1800rpm and at 90mph its on 3200rpm 110mph is 4000rpm

wider ratio will mean you'll lose a lot of performance surely?
|
is that in 5th. my 180 is a just under 4k at 90. as above, how does it go?
|
yeh thats in 5th m8 it has lost virtually no performance because of the tourque first gear is not as long now thats the only difference i have noticed plus i still have the sound :) as i am doing 140 miles a day in it thought i would give it a try
|
140 miles a day. you should have brought the diesel. lol

The ratios are quite different after 1st & 2nd.Should be about the same off the mark,but will then lose some performance

Borrowed a Scangauge yesterday for my trip to Donny and at a Steady 70mph over 20miles it was returning 41mpg and at 50mph over another 20miles it was 44-48mpg even at 90mph it was 36mpg. I am very impressed with this derv box.
