cortina acceleration

[frankie2.8]

Hiya!!

 

Just put a 2.0 pinto in my mk5 saloon, was a 1600 with twin choke, ashley exhaust and piper cross filter which I am using on the 2.0 obviously.

I have used the 1600 box and axle.

Can someone tell me what sort of acceleration improvements if any It will make over having 2.0 tranmission? Thought it may be the best place to ask this as I know a lot of you use your cars for the 1/4 mile.

Only using the 1600 stuff until I find the 2.0 bits and fit the type 9 box.

Hope you can help. Thanks.

i'dve thought you'd be better sticking with the 1600 transmission and diff because the ratio's should be better for acceleration

What he said

ratios in the 1600 box are better spaced than the 2.0 box and the diff ratio will be lower as well, if your still using the 1600 clutch it might wear out quicker than the bigger 2.0 one but they are cheap enough to replace
