Supraleeturbo Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Hi guys, I just wanted to find out what difference I’m going to see after ditching the v160 and Ao2B for now my current v161 with a Bo3B. I know with cars like these we shouldn’t worry about fuel but mine wasn’t the best on the motorway and people say with the new diff it will be better, is this true and will I get a longer gearing with my new set up Many thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Before blaming it on the gearbox/diff ratio have you worked out what the actual MPG was or is? Id then be looking at the state of the 02 sensors and cleaning them with lemon juice and working out the MPG again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Or just put new sensors on. Also, surely the cost of changing your diff and gearbox wouldn’t be worth it for the tiny difference in mpg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I say clean them before replacing them is would suck to spend a couple hundred quid and find it makes zero difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTurtleshead Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 It will be better, because you have the right diff ratio for the 6 speed. However it will never be good because it’s a 3 litre with a huge turbo and injectors?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey dude they was brand new when I went single - - - Updated - - - Or just put new sensors on. Also, surely the cost of changing your diff and gearbox wouldn’t be worth it for the tiny difference in mpg? No and I haven’t swap them for that I was just asking if it would make a difference as I was told it would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st part is what I wanted to know and the second part, I know fuel would be bad and I’m not complaining I was just told it would improve so just wondering if that was true ?
