Guest cyber gook Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Just popping in to say hi. I am in search of the holy grail. Well actually a Getrag V160 Manual 6-speed gear box for conversion into my turbo'd s2000. I hope you guys make my stay welcome and worthwhile. I'll post up some pictures of the project ive been working on and hope to have complete by the end of March. Cheers!

Guest cyber gook Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks guys, I was expecting less of a warm welcome due to the content of my post... I will get some more pics up when it comes out of the body shop. Its having the same Lambo Telesto grey painted on the outside over some new aero parts Were aiming for just over 500 @ the fly initially at 1 bar or less fuel permitting. Turbo is a PTE billet 6262 BB with vband inlet/outlet. S2000 heads flow extremely well, especially up in the last 2k revs of the 9k limit we will have set on it. Now a question for you guys. How do I put a post in the wanted section? As mentioned at the top, I am looking for a V160 getrag manual 6 speed box. Thanks alot! More pics to come as and when we progress.

listy Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 To post in the wanted/for sale areas i believe you have to be a paid member dude. However, 6spd getrags go like preverbial poo of a shovel. So getting hold of one isn't easy. Good luck though, and hope the project works out for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Might be worth getting in touch with Keron on here. He is a breaker and lots of cars go his way. If he knows you are needing one I'm sure he will contact you as soon as one comes his way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Welcome have always liked the S2000 That's going to be mental ride with 500bhp should be a lot of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige-rz Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 When I drove my mate's stock s2000 I thought it was very twitchy, especially when you got up a bit of speed. 500bhp is going to be a serious handful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Very clean! Are you planning a cold air feed through the bumper, or just keeping the trumpet as is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Love that!! very clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 What's the reason behind the V160? I suspect that after forking out for the box (at least £2.5k) plus your clutch/flywheel (over £1k) custom propshaft, bell housing, shifter etc you're going to be looking at the thick end of £7k Have you considered the Toyota R154? It's a five speed, but also a very strong box and much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Contact Jurgen, Jm-imports on here. He can get you one from japan for 2.5k if you don't mind waiting 10 weeks for delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cyber gook Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks for all the kind words guys! Should see some running progress in the next week or so The trumpet intake will receive a cold air feed. I will use on of the brake ducts in the bumper to duct cold air to it. I'm also looking into Zircotech ceramic heat coating for the exhaust mani and downpipe to keep the heat down. The reason for the V160. A company produce a conversion plate, prop shaft, clutch, driveshaft, diff and mount kit to work on my chassis meaning you can launch the car like this...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5zhwl_9n0Y I will contact Jurgen, thankyou!

Lbooth Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 There appears to be a six speed box for sale in the parts section! Had an S2000 when I lived in New Zealand where a convertible made sense, stunning motors, must be insane with 500hp. Shame the stock box can't handle the power.
