Hey guys

Just a quick run down on my story at the moment...

Im about to whack a new turbo on my car, and my gearbox in my GTS4 isn't in the most healthy of states (see 3rd and 4th). Now what im wondering is should i replace the box with another 32 GTS4 item or jump into a 32 GTR item as im planning on using the car for track days and do a couple passes down the strip.

Also my riff diff is not as healthy as it should be.. Again should i replace this with a stock item or use a 32 GTR item?

If it makes any differance the car will be a little laggy, running about 230-260rwkw.

Thanks Guys!

i would like some info on this too.. i have a very lightly modified gts4 and 4th is crunching.. is the GTR gearbox a lot tougher than the GTS4 one? i don't want to have to replace it again in the future..

i hear the only difference between gts4 and gtr box is the gear ratios.. but to be honest im not sure what difference that makes other than the basics

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
