![]() Looking at the AA one it seems to be pretty good, although it requires 4 shifts which isn't the greatest. No matter what you do they're going to break because each gear itself isn't wide enough(less material). You have to remember that transmission gear ratios are designed around the specific power of the engine and its peak power rpm.Īt stated earlier the width of the gears simply isn't there. It shines in tight corners where it can easily be kept in the sweet spot. The EVO trans is really not designed well for drag racing. Honestly, I think a 4.11 final drive would do you wonders alone, without needing to go inside the trans. The Dog Box is just about in line with that. The less amount of times you have to shift the better for sure. Also, if you look at the ratios vs speed vs rpm, you'll notice that your trans, as well as the B5s4 and the 1.8t 6 spd are all very well suited to an 11ish second trap time as it will put you right at the top of 4th according to your shift point of 7500-i assume your shift points are based on peak power production since you are talking about drag racing. You DONT want a dogbox on a car that you drive everyday, i promise you that. Aside from that, though, if the input and output shafts are the same on each trans, I'd just swap the 3rd and 4th from the 5spd into the 3.0 6spd and leave everything else alone internally, then change to a 4.11 final drive. Please chime in if you have any thoughts or experience in this regard.įor the price involved, get a new car if you want a drag car-seriously. Looks like Advanced Automtion Dog box recommended gear ratios are fairly close to EVO's offering. ![]() I thought some of you guys may find them useful. I took the time to plug the ratios I found around the net into gear ratio calculators. If by swapping out 3rd and 4th gear in the 5-speed 01A would shave off 0.5 seconds, I think it would be a worthy options for the guys who having put so much heart and soul into their builds. Having said that, I would like to hear your opinion on what gear ratio would you like to see in the B5/B6 platform that would further elevate our platform? I mean think about it. ![]() Now I am not a expert in transmission or anything but I think the gear ratio in those cars are much better suited for that propose (close-ratio). I noticed EVO with has somewhat similar powerband achieve 11s (or even 10s) rather easily in comparison to Audi/vw platform. I been looking into the possibility of developing a full set of custom gear aiming to improve 1/4 mile time(My setup - HTA3586, 2.1L, B6 3.0 01E). ![]()
