  • Our supercharged R8 GT is well on the way to having a lovely new manual gearbox to replace the R-tronic unit that it originally came with.
    In this video, we show you some of the components, and explain how the build is going. The engine is also being refreshed, so when it all goes back together, this 800+bhp track monster will be ready to rock - this time with a manual box!

    Does the manual gearbox have a strainer or filter that can be maintained without major surgery?

    Do you guys have a ready made kit for those with R tronics looking to convert to manual? Or must one do some scavenging for parts?

    What is the cost for this conversion? Also is there a finished job video?

    Why modified cases, would it be possible to use all OEM parts?

    • @REPerformanceUK
      @REPerformanceUK  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      We do use oem parts but you can’t buy the cases off Audi, so we have to modify them to convert them to manual.

      The client took it as soon as it was finished for a road trip, we still have to put some time back in etc.
      Once it’s back I’ll do a video on the finished car!

    Dare I ask. What's the price for showing a little bit of love? Engine & Transmission.

      @@REPerformanceUK I wasn't sure to what extent you were working on the engine? Overhaul, timing chains, etc. My question was a bit vague. Apologies. I was just curious what the likely cost of the repairs would be on this particular job? As anyone knows, just the task of engine removal is extremely labour intensive. Do you tend to price your work around a job description or by total time/hrs spent. I have to add I'm extremely impressed with the work you do.

    As a Engineer these long oil service life's are and never where a good idea and a sales gimmick too cut down on service costs. The Ford Transit comes too mind the amount of crud inside a four year old engine / sump / gearbox. As a mate changes his oil's every year and his sump was damaged so we put a new one in and his Engine was like new and it was the same age.

      Yes i agree! 12 months or 10k miles whatever comes first!
