Title: what 02A/02J gearbox can achieve 0-60 in second gear??
Post by: dub-addict on 27 January 2010, 00:06

Hey guys  :smiley:
As the title states. Im trying to find an 02A/02J gearbox that will get my car from 0-60mph without shifting up to 3rd, for quicker sprint times. Im just wondering what gearbox/gearset is most suited for this. Its for my mk2 vr6 conversion. I also want to retain a reasonable top speed. Any help is much appreciated. :wink:

My gearbox will get me from 0-60 in second without nearing the redline.. It's a standard MK2 8V 89'. Although I've only done it once or twice, in 60 zones of course.

^ thats an 020 box

the CDA 02A (mk3 16v) does 67 in 2nd, but thats worked out for a 16v engine revving to 7100 and with 195/50/15 tyres

whats the rev limit on the vr6?
