Gt4 gearbox

I've been reading up on gt4 gearbox, and seen fusion have converted one on to a R as they can handle upto 600bhp Standard.

Has as anyone done/tried to do this?

Is it worth it with the cost and can you get the parts easy to make it fit?

Going to pick your brains now....so I apologise in advance! :)

How much did it cost if you don't mind asking? And what parts did you need ?

But why don't you give us a little bit more info's?
Since this is an dedicated GtiR forum, your input on the modification which were carried out will be more than appreciated!

Don't get me wrong....but I really hate when people hide what they've done to their cars....and this is why believe that the R is that much underapreciated!

Therefore...can you please make a small write up on how you've done the transmission conversion?

Of course when you have the time!

OK.

Than, please make here a small descrpition of:
-What parts did you used, from the Toyota?
-Materials needed.
-Is there any wiring involved?

And also, if you can, please make us some better photos.

You must understand that if this gearbox is able to take 600 Bhp without any issues, than this is a big break through for the GtiR world. As an GT4 gearbox +transfer case costs approx 300 Gbp....ehere and Quaife second hand is in the 2000 pounds area.

Cheers,

And...sorry if I upset you!

gaskell : you also have to mount the rear diff either with toyota orignal mount or your own custom mount , because the diff needs rubber mounts.Not like the gtir which is a solid mount .For the front transfer box you need to make custom brackets from engine to transfer box.
