  • all the time - you will always break the weakest link until you replaced all the weak links by reinforced parts, problem will be that there will always be a weak link... and you will find it the hards way


    Buddy of mine had an extremely tuned 1/4 mile car - and 3 gearboxes, one installed, one on the way to or from the workshop, and the third one in the workshop...


    BTW - the workshop was like 3.000 kilometers away...said to be the best, after he went through a few rebuilds he started to have his doubts...


    Have fun and a nice weekend

  • Ilegal, there are no weakest link. All was changed, the gearbox supports 450hp easily, this box is used in Tourism here.
    The problem was that it was badly bundled, and a gear did not entered correclty.
    It was no repaired yet.

    because I don´t belive this.

  • because every car-manufactor will dance on the table if he can realise only 10% of loss on the drivetrain. because of that. :D

    FWD nearby 8% on the drivetrain, RWD nb 12% and AWD nb 15 till 18%
    a Fat driver 20% and a ugly co-driver 25%. :uwe:
    This is why i win a street race against a 200 HP TDI AWD Audi with Driverside lower suspension setting and co-driver side darkening only with my 90 HP RWD Ford and a Adonis like me as driver :evillaugh:

  • ahm, no! definitly not! you´ve on a taunus or a granada very much more losses! ask guys like willi. i´m not sure, but i expect he had losses of more than 20%, up to 30%.
