Os Giken 5 Speed Vs Ppg Straight Cut/helical Cut Dog Gears Vs Sequentials

[Mick_o]

Oh the lols

only do the Getrag if you do the 3.545 diffs as well, 1st gear in my 34 is now and always was useless even when it was a 2.6 with -7s, so add 4.11s to that and you may as well stay with the 5 speed as you won't use first with the Getrag

I can't wait to see the difference between 4.11s and 3.545s with the two identical OS88s once put side by side

I plan on being there for that event!

[Piggaz]

You have a 3.0. Thats not fair .

But mine will sound better and rev faster... so i have to win. Right ?

[XKLABA]

Haha, I got no head job and poo cams

3.0 with 3.545s v 2.8 with 4.11s is what I think will be interesting, would be nice to know wieght difference also

[Piggaz]

Well I'm at 1580 with half tank of fuel and no driver iirc.

Will be bloody close.

From what speed?

[XKLABA]

Oh shit, 1661kg plus driver + box

Standing start 402.336m

[Piggaz]

Well the box will be the same. So advantage/disadvantage there.

1/4 mile. Sure. I wonder if your trap speed will improve much?

[XKLABA]

actually the Getrag is heavier then the 5 speeder so the advantage is on my side there by a couple of kgs

I'm hoping the longer first will get me off the line better and with the shift cut setup my ET should improve but doubtful my MPH will increase much, car is just to heavy

Needs more powahs

[XKLABA]

Lap times is what it's about, trying to get to WP next weekend to set a time there too

[Mick_o]

Well looks like im riding shotgun with piggy then as im the perfect ballast to make the weights even lol

[XKLABA]

Lol, sound fair to me

I just need to lose some weight, 108kgs

[Piggaz]

Hit the pavement micko or I'll take James instead

[XKLABA]

Lol, take James, I'm just to lazy for that running crap

[Aggroman]

im 70kg, thats f1 level of weight WOOOO

[GTR_JOEY]

im 70kg, thats f1 level of weight WOOOO

Your malnourished is what you are haha

[Aggroman]

Your malnourished is what you are haha

hahahaha I go alright for my size I think

[boobeedoobee]

Ok well I've decided on the box I want and it's a ppg helical dog as like you piggaz highway driving with a 5th straight cut would do my head in. But would I have the same problem as with the os box regarding the taller gears that the ppg comes with? Sorry my set up is a an unopened rb26 which I'm about to put hks gtss turbos in..

[XKLABA]

If you are only going to run GT-SSs and no more, source a Getrag and 3.545 diff gears, much nicer to drive and plenty strong enough for the power a 2.6 with GT-SSs can put out

I will stroke the engine eventually and put bigger turbo's so will the getrag still be they way to go will be looking at 400+ at the wheels. but for know I will be driving it with the gtss and definitely need to do something about the gearbox as I have a few gears crunching

You know you can rebuild the box with new syncros for 1100-1200 bucks inc labour

Yeh but if I pull it out I would like to make it stronger. . The car does get used a lot for motorsport especially hillclimbs some 1/4 runs and the occasional track day ..
