With the amount of power your running.....how long did it last.

at this stage 368rwkws but has grown from 290rwkws to 368rwkws for over 12 months so it held out prety good I think

Poor old T5 :lol:

Let us know your impressions Bruce..

Will probably go down the same path in July..

appart from the slight roll over gear noise at low speeds its pretty good but I might change the diff ratio now

I am just wondering if the 6 speed in the Typhoon is the same box as the Mk 2 XR6T???

dont know but I would think so

That's good news Bruce.

The 3.73 diff will make a big difference to in-gear flexibility, compared to the 3.46 diff. I made that change, and would recommend it.

The main issue is the first gear ratio in the 6-speed, at 2.66 its' more suited to a V8. The T5 1st gear ratio is 2.95 by comparison.

I'm now using the 4.10 diff, and wouldn't recommend it, as it's too low.

Also, after I went down the 6-speed route, with much stronger gears, I had Lok2 retune the XEDE in my car to put more boost (and torque) into the mid-range, making the whole Nizpro package even better.

Thanks.

I am interested in this conversion. What are the conversion costs including the box???

yes I did that with the tune hence the gear box went seya did you have the 3.46 and then changed to the 3.7
