Strongest sequential and why?

With RBs pushing power further and further past 1000hp the demand on a gearbox is ever greater. 10 years ago a 1000hp transmission would be considered unbreakable. Now, with the cost of power parts going down and quality going up, the same person who could afford a sequential 10 years ago would be aiming for a number far higher then 1000hp. Keeping the cost aside and keeping dedicated drag boxes out of it (would love to see a thread on Liberty and Jericho transmissions)

Are transmission manufacturers keeping up?

What is the strongest sequential out there?

Why do you think/know so?

I am leaning towards the Hollinger. Been around for a very long time, very widely used in motorsports. Seems to be the only one with straight cut gears which eliminates sideload.

The Holinger sequential for GTR uses helical cut gears, as does PPG and OS 88. Samsonas and Albins use straight cut 

I think most would agree Albins would be top of the food chain

You're right, back in the day, most of the GTR's though were either 2.6, or 2.8 only. RB30's werent THAT common.

I was in this exact boat when planning for a gearbox. I went with a 3.2 route. I sussed out all my options and talked to a tonne of people around what options there were for GTR's(excluding auto's here):

* Getrag 6 speed
* Gearset
* Sequential

Personally, I wanted peace of mind hence why I didnt go for a gearset or 6 speed. I mean, by the time you've done either of those 2 options you wouldn't get much change from 15K right? Plus, I dont know how long they would last with the fat torque of the 3.2...I also scoped out the sequentials out there, and in the end I went with the Albins as to me it seemed like the pick of the crop(Not saying the other Seq manufactures are shit, but its just my opinion). Plus, the Albins kit literally comes with everything minus the clutch.. no faffing around looking for tailshafts/transfer cases etc.

I have a Holinger and love it, I bought it a few years about now circa 2015

 

however Albins and Samsona's seem to be the pick of the bunch these days.

 

Particularly now the albins can slot straight in without panel beating and the adjuster gear to tweak ratio's is very convenient and samsonas seems to put up with the beatings

I was under the impression you could get either, as the Holinger GRA-6N box for the group A R32 cars were straight cut, and was essentially the same ?

Anyway I would echo above - Albins all the way. Compared to Samsonas they have definitely more all round Motorsport proven track record within Australia and are completely Australian. In off road like 800hp+ buggies with monster torque that race here in the NT Finke desert race, there is basically only one manual box used that wins.

Albins

I called them not that long ago to ask a few questions about their sequential, they never mentioned anything about the option for straight cut? But I didn’t ask either, but the standard sequential design is helical cut.

Standard option looks like it, as the pictures in Holinger GTR workshop manual are all showing helical gears on the disassembly except reverse. Main and counter shafts are both splined on gear so they definitely can do it. The earlier GTR boxes the Hollinger GRA-6N and HKS-GTR were only straight cut.

Same experience as Moray - when I spoke to Holinger couple months ago - helical only.  Not sure why that is now - as I'm sure you could get them in straight cut years ago.

I went with the new Albins ST6-LP - i believe its the only one with a internal oil pump.!

      Crank Motorsports Front Axles

      By Josh K. · Posted

      Is anyone running these axles? R32, R33, R34 GTR front Axles. shafts itself rated 950hp. Suit all RB26 engines Croydon, Melbourne, Victoria Would be nice to pay half the cost of Driveshaft Shop Axles. I'm building an AWD S13 Coupe that is very low ride height (high cv angle) compared to stock R32. Has an RB30 with appx 600whp. Just looking for feedback. Thanks, Josh- https://www.instagram.com/feng_shui_garage/

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Been a long time since r31 got some love, my brother dropped a shitbox ls1 crapadore in my lap to fix up.  Put a wiper motor in as the flooded one was no longer alive.  got windscreen wipers now. Time to clean respray and install back in the titanic  IMG_0505.mov

      Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.

      Report that engine failure

      Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)
