I thought it was torque?

 

200nm

 

someone has put an f16 onto a v6 turbo lmao

 

Does the same apply for the R25 as well? (seeing as I only have 120 bhp, and the R25 gearbox...)

is that auto?

Ah fair play, but it is defo nm, am i right in thinking that an F20 isnt really up to the job long term then?

 

is that auto?

Nope, manual 5-box

just another dodgy code by vauxhall then a bit like the c20xe lmao

don't know what exactly you mean, but the R stands for RWD design

 

TIS lists specs for the later boxes (94 on) and apart from the F18 they are all the torque rating in Nm.

the F18 is 205Nm (replaced the F20)

I run 230lbft through my F20 with Quaiffe.

i didnt know that lmao

the f18 gearbox personally i would not choose myself :doh: i have removed and refitted way too many subframes on vectras when converting the f16 to fit instead of the f18 its probably just as bad as the transfer box they put in callibras.

 

My belief is its a number based on engine sized it was mainly used with

F10 = 1.0
F13 = 1.3
F16 = 1.6
F18 = cav 18td
F20 = 2.0
F25 = 2.5
F28 = 2.0 (*1.4 for turbo, which is standard in many motorsports)


However thats by no means conclusive proof thats where the numbers come from


The torque thing is a nonsense though for certain IMHO even though people have posted evidence about it on here, cause the F18 completely doesnt fit that.


Whatever the numbers mean (if anything) they only mean it very loosely.

 

Yeah, I am sure the coupe turbo has something like 240nm as std and its running an f23, so I guess thats blown out the water.

And with all the mods available for the zlet, the 'box would fall apart fairly quickly?

I am going to go with chip on this one.

ecotecs use f18s so im told and the diesels a 1.7? didnt it have a wide ratio version of something f16/18

As i said, whichever "meaning" you put on it simply doenst hold water.

And the 1.7 thing might make sense if they class a TD as 6% more than petrol or whatever.


Eitehr way, its NOT accurate wether it references engine size or torque.


F28 can take a LOT more than 40% more torque than an F20 for example!

 

god knows i assumed it was ratio related

 

Back in the day, it was a reference to torque capability. Now they're just numbers.

Whats special about c20xe?

Also is it torque thats more damaging to gearboxes then torque?

No, I think Torque is more damaging than torque to a gearbox. lmao




because of the capital 'T'

torque or torque a? god knows ill vote for torque as diesel boxes always seem to be stronger because of the extra lbft

 

F = Front wheel drive
number = Constant torque load on gearbox. On some engines the max torque is greater but this is a peak load not a constant one.

Stu

 

F = Front wheel drive

Well, certainly almost true of the F28, its barely anything else lmao
