2.0T Perfect Gearbox Combo.at Last.

Morning Puggers....

Just wanted to share the latest mod on my old 2.0T.

Whilst rebuilding the motor I dropped ZX TD ratios into the box with a Helix uprated clutch.

On stands (with the wheels off) it has the gearing to pull 140+ whilst briefly revving up in 5th.

On the (private)road I've seen 130mph(and pulling strong) with another 1500rpm left to go.My nerve ran out before the gearing!

Lower gears dont feel much different to the old 306 16v XSI ratios I was using but 5th is sooo long and suits the XU10J2TE low down torque no end.

1.9 gti box really suits the turbo engine, but have also fitted a dturbo box to a 200bhp 8v turbo which made it an animal.

I found them already; similar to the 306 1.9TD box:
Citroen ZX 1.9 TD SX 1996 - 1997
1th gear ratio:3,46:1
2th gear ratio:1,87:1
3th gear ratio:1,15:1
4th gear ratio:0,83:1
5th gear ratio:0,66:1
Final drive:3,95:1

I recon its the best mod you can make to a 2.0 turbo,other than an LSD.Even in my stripped out track car 70mph is just 2500 and makes for very comfortable,stress free high speed cruising.

Not ideal for track use but still suits the motor far better than 1.9 and 1.6 boxes and means longer between motor rebuilds.

Well done Wicked!Thats usefull.

I have a Xsara 1.9TD gearbox on mine (2.0 turbo, 220bhp). That box is pretty similar to the 306/ZX 1.9TD one.

The 3th, 4th and 5th are really great, far better than 1.9 GTI box which is really too short there for my engine.

But must say that I find the 1st and 2nd gear of the 1.9TD boxes a bit too short (mountain roads / track).

 

I found that the gear ratios of a 206 1.9XND are pretty similar to the 1.9TD boxes in 3th, 4th and 5th, but have slightly longer 1st and 2nd gear.

Maybe that is a good alternative, but have no clue if these boxes are equal strong or weaker than the 1.9TD, because the stock 1.9d engine is far less powerful.
