Great looking mod! Would be really awesome to see more in car footage - country roads, accelerating from slow hairpins etc. 1st to 4th etc. Just really seeing a nice long in car video with this awesome final drive mod.
Changing the crown wheel and pinion wouldn't change the rpm drop as youve not changed the individual gearing ratios, it would definitely feel more responsive because it would pick up better.
@@718YellowSubmarineOthers can do it in the USA, east coast DeMan Motorsports, west coast Sharkwerks. However they both replace individual gears, not the final drive.
The cars do not have long gears, they have a motorbike engine with all its power at the top end of the rev range. Peak torque is at around 4.500 rpm. However a 718s is about as fast but has peak torque at 1900 revs, which is much more fun on the road. You really need a track to keep it above 4,500rpm.
@@clu4u What is your point. A D Type Jaguar on Lemans gearing had four speeds and did 80 in first. It did 180-190 too. It’s not how fast the car goes in any gear, it’s how wide the power band. About 2000rpm for the six and 5000rpm for the four. The four will be noticeably quicker most of the time. But on the track, they’ll be similar.
@@ashleyjames308 You initial comment proves why the GT4 needs shorter gearing. With the power being made at high RPMs, you need shorter gears so you can hit the high RPMs at lower speeds.
You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of gearing and the benefits of it. Being a high revving engine makes it literally the PERFECT candidate for short gearing. With shorter gearing you reduce the ratio difference between gears, which means during an up-shift you will end up in a higher RPM in the next gear as you would with longer gears. I.E you are in the power-band more often. Additionally, the extra applied torque in each gear is nice on a car that isn't generally traction limited. Plus, it's just more fun.
Amazing spec car! It’s good to see content on the low ratio crown wheel and pinion. I’d love to see some in car footage of this one on track.

Can this be used on pdk?
Brilliant example and must do modification 👌
Awesome car...

Hi - nice car. How much is the gearbox mod (including keeping a higher 6th)?
£3500 plus labour
@@expulseofficial how much for the labour?
@@718YellowSubmarine think it’s around £4,800 all in. Message them.
@@expulseofficialI did and it's a bit more. Also have to ship the car to UK which is a bit of a bother. I will wait for the right time!

2nd gear is good for 83 mph, 3rd 113 mph. Get it now?

Nope. It proves you’re better off with a turbocharged engine because they have power everywhere
