hey wats the story about joining a VTR engine and a 1.1 gearbox? does it work and does anyone have performance figures? thanx

5th July 2007, 22:55

1.1 box has shorter ratios so the car will accelerate better but it will have lower top speed basically

5th July 2007, 23:12

yeah thats exactly what i want..top speed limit in this countrys 70 anyway..i just wanna get there quicker ;-) would i need the main block, ECU and wiring loom? cheers

5th July 2007, 23:15

engine, loom, ecu and then gt ya key recodded at citroen 2 the ecu i think not 100% you might wan2 uprate brakes and suspension

it wouldnt damage my 1.0 gearbox though? and ive got an early mischeif so its a keypad immobiliser im afraid! would it be able to work or would i have to upgrade to a transponder c/l etc? also do you know how much i might be looking at to have it done? cheers

i think you can disable your imob and run ya car without not sure u will have 2 ask about i will try and find out for u though. Regarding ya gearbox i suppose it could damge it u would just have to try it it could be okay

5th July 2007, 23:24

thanks mate n yeah i hope that too..tis just the money situation at the mo! could turn out expensive is what im thinking!

5th July 2007, 23:26

i know wot u mean m8 i have got ma self a second job 2 pay 4 mods 2 ma vtr so i am mechanic by day and barman on saturdaynights and sunday afternoons

5th July 2007, 23:28

thts dedication! im about to go to uni so im just rushing about trying to get my car done as im gonna have to either sell it or store it..either way i want to get it finished! btw wat do you think of it? ive dewipered and debadged it since that pic :-)

5th July 2007, 23:32

smooth m8 looks smart i am keeping mine looking as it is aprt from hid lights and vts rims and colour coded grill and black rear badges

5th July 2007, 23:36

tht should look nice! i wish i had a VTR/VTS!! the arches look so much better! and the fact i can only overtake tractors n old ppl doesnt help lol

6th July 2007, 00:25

would be a lot easier to buy a vtr and then put the new 1.0 box on

6th July 2007, 09:35

yeah but ive spent so much on the 1.0 lol!

6th July 2007, 09:47

i would have thought a vtr engine would just mash up a 1.0 gearbox

6th July 2007, 10:00

as far as i aknow it wouldnt mash it up so quick, like mentioned would be quiciker starst but lower tops, which aint that bad, i know round here you cant get it over bloody 30! but in due time your best of changing it, but it should run fine fopr a while, im going to be using a 1.1i gearbox so thats fine ive been told!

6th July 2007, 10:28

1.0 box is no weaker than a vtr or vts gearbox, 1.0 box on a vtr will be fine.

unplug your immobiliser while the car is running thats how u disable it then next time u start the car the immobiliser wont come into play
