they are about 200mm longer and if you use the UN5 you will need substale mods to make it fit. The bellhousing is bolt on but you will need a sandwich
plate to allow the kombi bellhousing to be used and will need around 75mm step off to allow output shaft to fit. This will give you an even longer box
length which will casue even more issues. You will need to go over, under or through your torsion housing.
Ratios are good but in a Road Car with small ass rubber you will find 1st all but useless to you, I would suggest a 091 box would be a better fit and
gearing setup.

UN5 has a mindlessly low ratio (Buggy Brad only thinks of offroad applications and doesn't understand racing yet :P  ), you want a UN1 gearbox from the R25, R25T or R30. R20 used the weaker
box but is still good for about 300hp allegedly.
I sized up exacly this for my superbug and had to cut a hole in the floor to fit it. Yes it will fit, but not without cutting things.
check the sticky posts for tech links on these boxes.
If it aint broke,
Make it go faster!!  |
