anybody running this ratio on a turbo with standard diff? part number CSTN77 (special tuning) 1st Gear 2.544 2nd Gear 1.731 3rd Gear 1.258 4th Gear 1.0 I'm running these ratios on my 1450 nonturbo with 3.44 diff and 13's. first gear is LONG but the rest seem well spaced. my clutch takes a hammering driving in traffic though.

i sure do.. but when you get it going it shifts through the gears like a banchee. I have the added bonus of 5th so it still makes motorways easy driving.

2.54 first is easy with any turbo engine. If it isn't easy, your engine isn't powerfull enough! On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

I find my 1st gear ideal, the std a+ i had before was way too low geared in 1st, also can do a 0-60 run with 1 gear change (just). -MINI CLUBMAN 1380 TURBO- |

But I must agree, with a low compression engine and a long duration cam 2.54 would feel smooth as there isn't enough grunt off boost to pull the skin off a rise pudding :) now add some right foot and a gauge full of PSI's, Dump or Slip the clutch it's your choice and off she goes at warp speed if it all holds together. I guess I was giving my none turbo opinion of running 11.5:1 with a 286, Weber, grey dia and rally plate makes for a very cammy not liking first gear combination but having said that I?ve put up with it for many years now and intend to for many more.
