#1: 180 engine on gti gearbox Author: giveitsomebar, Location: redditchPosted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 3:19 pm ---- as above will the 180 engine go on against a gti gearbox? also are the driveshafts the same thickness?
#2: Re: 180 engine on gti gearbox Author: Seabook, Posted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 3:34 pm ---- same driving shaft and same gearbox(different ratio)

#4: Re: 180 engine on gti gearbox Author: D4NTP, Location: Not Leeds or its surrounding areas!Posted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 4:44 pm ---- I thought they were different, being 6speed.
#5: Re: 180 engine on gti gearbox Author: rttam, Location: devonPosted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 4:47 pm ---- the 180 isnt six speed only 5 i think the box is similar but the ratios and the gear linkages are different has cable gearlinkages on the 180
#6: Re: 180 engine on gti gearbox Author: D4NTP, Location: Not Leeds or its surrounding areas!Posted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 4:55 pm ---- so what exactly is the point if a '180' it has variable valve timing...... is that it? pointless car! why would you want a 180 gearbox anyway?
#7: Re: 180 engine on gti gearbox Author: giveitsomebar, Location: redditchPosted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:12 pm ---- you could spend a fortune getting an extra 50bhp from a 138 engine but you can buy a 180 engine for £450 my plan is a 180 engine into a gti shell its WIP though
#8: Re: 180 engine on gti gearbox Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:14 pm ---- GTi180's only have about 160bhp
#9: Re: 180 engine on gti gearbox Author: giveitsomebar, Location: redditchPosted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:17 pm ---- well a decent cam for a 138 is £400 quid just seems the right thing to do
#10: Re: 180 engine on gti gearbox Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat Feb 19, 2011 5:20 pm ---- Good look with the rewiring, thats all i can say.

What does it having VVT got to do with gearboxes?

GTI selection bars hiting gti180 exhaust manifold. So you can use your gearbox but you have to change selection system bar to cable.

exactly
there's a loooot more to the 180 than just the vvt i drove both when i bought mine years ago and there's no comparison.
im sure this will open the usual whinge that there's not much difference but iv never heard anyone with a 180 wish they had just bought a 138
i assume they need a gearbox and cant find one but have found a 180 one cheap
