I take your point. I don’t think it’s really marketing if they aren’t supplying the box though. I was just asking what their experience is of NA boxes in turbo cars…
I’m still leaning towards trying to find a turbo one for ok money but from what I’ve read I reckon an NA one that’s had a bit of a service and look over might be ok for my stock to slightly modded Ute.
I’d obviously rather get a turbo transmission just a matter of what I can actually get locally. See what comes up.
Im going to attempt the mechanical swap work myself… in terms of wiring everything up and getting it driving well any recommendations who I should take it to?
I’m seeing a lot more NA wrecks come up. So I’d be pretty safe getting a ZF box out of an NA FG XR6 then? I don’t anticipate major mods on this car, maybe some basic stuff like injectors, cat and a tune.
Is there anything else I am going to need other than a clue and some help?
I guess the other question is what is a TR6060 with 200,000 kms on it worth. Not thrashed at all but clutch probably needs replacement.
Does this seem like an ok deal….
“We have series 2 turbo gearbox from a F6 s2 cost $3200 - 114 klms
Tail shaft - $450 reco
Engine loom S2 turbo same car $450
Shifter - $120
Flex plate $65”
Also are there any differences I need to be aware of in sourcing parts. I’m thinking pulling everything out of a wreck might be my best option. Most wrecks seem to be sedans so what parts are different from sedan to ute? And am I correct in thinking FG XR6 NA transmissions and associated parts are the same as FG XR6 Turbo transmissions?
thanks again for your help
I need to find this person! I guess the alternative is to try and make the manual I’ve got a bit nicer to drive maybe a short shifter install, anything else I can do to make it smoother and easier other than maintenance stuff…
