has the 11 got shorter ratios than a 5? cruising in 5th on the mway seems to be quite high in the revs?

yes, a shorter diff. 4.07 vs 3.73 so revs will be about 10% higher for the same speed.Originally Posted by Adey aka Ewok
ahh rite ok, pain in the ass lol
gave away a R5 box not long ago - could have had that sir
no worries bud, im sure itll hoon me outa corners that little bit quicker on track
doesn't the R11T have taller tyres than the GTT?
Not sure on the tyre size but I know it runs 14s, would that be the reason for the gearing difference? From what I can find the 11 was only 50kgs heavier than the 5 so wouldn't of thought that would be the reason
what size 14s?
std GTT = 195/55/13?
Ph2 11t tyres are possibly 185/60/14, been that long since i had mine cant remember 100%.
Ph1 11t rims are 13"?
yeah got recipts for 185/60/14
Standard tyre size for the 11 turbo 175/65/14
adey, i've got the same box, 5th/80mph is over 4000rpm! not ideal for motorway driving
nope they're 14" mate.
i know, im spending more time in the slow lane doing 60 now lol
lol screw 60mph my phse 1 11 tub sound fikin ausume in the outside lane screamin along at just a smidge over 70 honestly officer
it loved the european roads to the ring LOL
all good on short jaunts but it racks up fuel when im doing long distances
with the right tyres it's only slightly shorter geared than the GTT, 2%, are you on 50 series?
R11T is 9.1% shorter geared than the GTT
195/55/13 = 21.44" tall - std GTT
175/65/14 = 22.96" tall - std R11T, +7.1% compared to std GTT
195/45/15 = 21.91" tall + 2% compared to std GTT
195/50/15 = 22.68" tall +5.8% compared to std GTT
205/50/15 = 23.07" tall +7.6% compared to std GTT
all those are theoretical, so will differ to reality.
not sure about the ratios but my r9 gtx box nicely does
70mph at 3k rpm in 5th
Would it be possible to do a similar thing as the VW guys do, they can swap 5th gear in situ and replace it with a taller gear......

If we can swap them in situ, what 5th gear option are available to us?
Standard gtt is .76
Chris
I'm on 195/45/15s and 3k is about 58mph on the gps?
so do i get on the hunt for a derv 5th gear?
I wouldn't bother, you have a 0.76, and the longest 5th is a 0.74.
It's either fit a GTT box, or fit some tyres of the right diameter.
3K should be more like 63mph, even with your tiny tyres.

are you sure that your clocks are right, and that you have an R11T box fitted?
funny you should say that, our next potential job on the 11T
Yo, Adrian.
I've got a 5 box, with a busted 2nd gear you can have for nothing if you fancy some gear swapping.
same, got one sat round the side of the house...with a rear beam, alloys...
so do i get on the hunt for a derv 5th gear?
from driving my car yesterday on the old motorway yesterday for a long while
Defo not clutch slip, I'll get the ID off the box tomorow, can anyone confirm the box number?
Is the speedo/rev counter accurate though? might be worth trying another set of clocks to compare. Every set ive used have read differently!
Chuck a tw*t-nav in your car & compare speedo vs. gps speeds. 4k @ 70 is crazy!
Will use the sat nav tomorow then, I used the one on the iPhone last time so that was probably outa wack too
there are a couple of possibles, I have it written down at home, so no problem.
from what i can make out it says jc511 with a 68 underneath the 11, that sound right or am i looking at the wrong thing? is on a tag thats bolted to the box
I'd need to look, but JC5 isn't right, you should have a JB3. There should be another digit, JC5nnn. You almost certainly have a spurious box fitted.
I'll try and take it off tonight and get a proper look
IIRC some JC5 boxes are fitted to the Williams Clio , Clio 172, Megane Coupe 2l 16V as a start list
yep, and loads of diesels etc. I'm guessing it has a 4.21 final drive, or something horrible.
so does any one know what the final drive is in the r9 gtx box?not sure about the ratios but my r9 gtx box nicely does
70mph at 3k rpm in 5th
my bad, its jb3 011 so whats that off? also on the tag is C013468?
R11T
ok so thats right, my speedo seems right but yet to check properly with the **** nav, does that mean my rev counter is off? how fast should i be traveling at 4k on 195/45/15s then?
Adey, if you decide to out/sell that 'box, give me first dibs please mate.
if i do ull be my first port of call
cheers buddy, cheers for all the help peeps
if he changes his mind, ill have it, sharky northern geezas
Adey, I'll have it, so don't get pulling any under-hand Swindon stunts, Spooks!
