R32 N/a Manual Gearbox Or R32 Turbo Manual Ratios

[G Kanobi]

Hi,

I've recently purchased an R32, and have taken to a workshop to get some stuff done, and they've informed me that the car was actually a non turbo car, that has had a turbo engine dumped in.

The brakes are non turbo too, which i'll have to get around to swapping becuase they feel pretty weak.

But while i was driving it home, I gave it a little pep, and noticed i wasnt getting as much speed out of each gear as i'd expect.

Can anyone with a R32 GTS-T tell me what speed they get out of each gear?

I think i was hitting maybe 80-90km/h peaking second...

Thanks guys

It is probably a difference in diff ratio's... I purchased my car as an automatic turbo, left the auto diff in with manual gb, sure has shorter gears but holy shit it moves..

Mine seems like it pulls through the revs pretty quick, but the speed just isnt rolling up like it should.

So does the speedometer take its reading from diff??

Also, does anyone know if there's any way of identifying a N/A or turbo gear box? eg part numbers?

Cheers
