kavan-k Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Seen alot of starlets with this 6 speed box? anyone on here got it and is it any good? Or just more brownie points when telling the spec? Lol Edited April 10, 2013 by kavan-k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loguey Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I beleive the ratios are longer = more speed per gear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kavan-k Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 You must have to gear it properly tho? Surely you cant just bolt it in and away you go with 6 gears? Would be good having another gear but there has to be a flaw in it lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Don't quote me on this but I think they're restricted power wise to 250bhp area before they're at risk of spewing. I may well be wrong though. They're corola gearbox's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kavan-k Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Thats a bit shit then i suppose, i would hate to be restricted power wise ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I think the gears are actually shorter meaning better acceleration. Good for an n/a car if you but with boost it doesn't matter as much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I think the gears are actually shorter meaning better acceleration. Good for an n/a car if you but with boost it doesn't matter as much.They are, the 6th gear is about as long as a standard Vs 5th, so quicker acceleration yes, same revs at motorway speeds :-( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kavan-k Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Quicker acceleration is a win i suppose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Can you get a LSD for them ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kavan-k Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Good question! Must have a nosey through the forum! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Not sure if they are a 6 or 8 bolt diff. Chances are they are 6 bolt which would mean you can use an n/a or mk1 gt aftermarket diff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Is a Corolla G6 the ones which is good swap? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Aye thats the one ^^. What about levin boxes, AE111 6 speed, that fit ? I know they are bolted to A series engines, but the G6 is a AFE and that box mates to a starlet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 No the g6R is a 4afeThe g6 is a 4efe.Either way they are all C series boxes but you would need to change the bell housings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Ahhh, decent info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Also some boxes have different size shafts on the cups. Ae92 corolla gti shafts are bigger than ep91 shafts but both boxes are c boxes. Just to confuse people Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kavan-k Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Thanks for the confusion morgey!! Haha. Id love to hear from someone that has a box in theres, id say it would be some job way a good diff! Standard box is hard to beat but! Handle serious power for a standard one lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 You would get seriously pissed off at constantly changing gears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I skip gears anyway, and shorter gears mean you could leave it in a higher gear as it could accelerate easier ;)Geo had one in his ep80 with a few other bitshttp://youtu.be/UDxE_DNIRwshttp://youtu.be/ZAdoD7SVG_04th seems to top out around 100mph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 How haven't I seen that before? Don't Spose there's a thread is there morgey? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza Mac Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 the corolla 6 speeds will hold the gt and glanza LSDs Rob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Dan, Build thread here. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/43663-uk-spec-ep82-n1400-drag-sled-mr-bap-vs-glanza-v-vids-111211/ He did pure quality EP work with all his starlets, introduced many to 4paws too...

kavan-k Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Acceleration is mad in that wee minter lol id be so tempted but i can see it running into stupid problems that can be avoided lol. Them corolla boxes be stronger than the standard fte box? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Them corolla boxes be stronger than the standard fte box?As far as I'm aware no one has tested one to destruction yet! But the sensible limit seems to have been agreed upon of around 250bhp :-P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spoon_tuned Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 my mate ryan had a 6 speed box in his GT think a lad called bean or something owns it on here now...it was a good gearbox especially with that 6th gear real good for motorways Quote Link to post Share on other sites
