Noz Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Everyones looking for an R154. Has anyone else done a different trans swap? I'm seeing so many wanted ads, I'm thinking if they are rare and I blow mine at 6-700hp I'll also be on the hunt. So thinking to sell up now, and consider other routes. Not heard any feedback from the BMW setups from owners. Only people who have mates or know someone. Be nice to hear some real feedback from owners. I'll have a look on the US group also. I'd love a T56 but let's face it that's just as costly as v160 at the moment in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 R154 can still be rebuilt though right? so not all doom and gloom, pretty sure its only the 420g thats good for decent power anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Yes that's true mate. I suppose I just read the third gear being stripped in a few instances and get worried I'll just kill the box and throw money away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Depends how you use it? Hard launches will kill a box, bit of launch sympathy and it will last a lot longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyFDMD Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I only ever hear of the yanks stripping 3rd gear... and lets face it, they are probably doing rolling anti lag launches at 50mph on drag radials down Texen highways. Thatll kill any box eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
