What is the diferance? shorter ratio? less end speed?
Is it worth to fit it on a b18ft?
car is used for track and sometimes a sprint

iv got an 11 box and the ratio is shorter and the final drive gear on the motorway is poo! 70mph at 3600 rpm . great for sprinting tho
Which JB3 type do you both have? (ie, JB3-xxx ?)
so you mean r11 has shorter gears compared to r5?
Shorter final drive.
it's because a 11 has bigger wheels from factory than a 5 has
138mph @ 7000rpm on GTT box
128mph @ 7000rpm on R11 box
as said, final drive is different. my R11 box has lasted 4-5 years when i was popping GT boxes every 3 months, must put less stress on the gearbox as its shorter
The 5th gear is different as well.
This is a subject i have thought about since starting my raider restoration as i also have an 11 turbo engine and box sitting in my garage. If you had the choice of an 11 turbo box or gtt box for a 5 rebuild after converting to EFI what would you choose and why?
Is it poss to swap 5th gear in the 11 box with one from the gtt to get a longer 5th gear? Or am I way off the mark?
Id keep the gtt box for higher top speed. The 11t box is too short ratio for motorway journeys and longer tracks.
Thanks Brigsy.
that will save me some time pulling it apart again!
and what do you think lsd from 5 would fit to 11 gearbox? and vice versa?
If you want to sell that 11t box, let me know
yes, they're both jb3 boxes..
tx for the replies!
is there any gearbox from other renault models that fits straight? or to which models jb3 gearbox was? because if you brake the gearbox there isnt much renault 11 for parts here in lithuania
only just found this thread again
my 11 turbo box is a jb3 002
and i would say most of the gears feel shorter than the 5 box
1st gear feels really short allmost like you could just use 2nd gear instead of evan bothering with first gear .
i have a 5gtt and a 11 and have driven both to try feel the difference. and it defently feels like the 11 is quicker through the gears than the five.
are you sure its just the final gear (5th) thats different? ? ? ?
Seen this?
What ya mean byt seen this buddy?
The R11 turbo has a shorter final drive than the R5 Gtt (makes ALL the gears shorter) I think it was because the R11 had 14" wheels and the R5 had 13" wheels.
Cheers matt
Cleared that up . Bare with me I'm still learning. Makes sence now .
