quaife box

[stokie1]

as above, picked up one of these with only 3000m :lol:

anyway looked at all the stuff posted before, people saying quaife box
looks stronger than the par box rated to 650bhp

read somewhere scoobie boys frying dog boxes using 6000+ hp

managed to pick one of these as replacement for if/when my dog box breaks, really wanted to know what power i will be able to run without
risking the spare box

How long ago was this mate?, As there was a problem with the version one quaife box. Saying that mine is a version 1 and I had no problem at all running 311bhp and 304lb's through it for 2 years of hard 5500rpm launches and track days. In total it did 31/2 years and 36000 miles before the nissan bearings and syncro's gave up the ghost 8) .

It was something to do with 3rd gear :? bernie did tell me what but i'v forgotten , Anyway when I had my box rebuilt last year I called up quaife and asked them about it and they sent me a brand spanking new version 4 3rd gear to replace mine free of charge 8) .

So please no one try and tell me that quaife's customer support isn't top notch .

As for how much it can take I'm going to be putting 400-450bhp through it and 400lb's and I'm not worried about it breaking , But nothing is unbreakable is it even your new planed box Lou so remember that :idea: .

The point is that there are only 2 of these kits in the world, and to make exact same would cost ££££££, so I won't spill the beans untill I have 1 fitted 8)
I'll spill the beans once I have it in posession, Then you can all fight amongst yourselves for the remaining kit :lol:

Quaife Box... 50+ Launches... Still fine...

Just to clear it up... ITS NOT RATED AT 350BHP!!!!.... Thats just what they will warranty it for...

It should be fine for 550lb.ft

What i want is to win the lottery! :lol: :lol:

Lou - could this mystery box end up being produced in bigger numbers as an alternative to the Quaife/PAR/£16k Nismo gearbox options?

Posibly, with enough demand.
But let me see how good it is, maybe after it takes the punishment that I give the boxes. Let me prove it first, then posibly...........
