You can only get them in R180 size so they should handle the grunt. 3.7 is the stock 1600 manual ratio.  A turbo should be able to pull a taller diff as it has much more torque, especially round 2500 rpm, where your engine would be sitting when travelling at the legal speed limit. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Ward To: Ozdat Mail List Sent: Friday, 16 June 2000 20:21 PM Subject: diff ratio on turbo motors G'day Terry, I remember sone time back you were discussing the merits of diff ratios and turbo motors ie you suggested 3.7 seemed to be better for the performance of your car.  I was just interested in the ideas behind it.  I have a 3.9 in mine and while it works fine, it runs out of revs real quick in 1st, and has a fair engine speed in 5th on the freeway.  Would the 3.7 be more suited to me, or even 3.54 ?   Thanks for your thoughts, Wardy   --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.datascribe.com.au/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
