antil33t 90 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 Why do you need the G260 though? the 240 is plenty for alot of uses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c.robertson00 11 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 People say that a g260 is stronger but in a road car Its not going to be stressed unless you do something stupid like burnouts etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just got told by my mates that a 260 would be better than the 240... but what gearbox should i put in for best performance ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) well... the fourth and fifth ratio on each box is the same, just the first - third ratios are slightly higher on the 240. Burnouts in ANY car is bad. not just for the gearbox either. Edited November 24, 2009 by antil33t Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SIR E30 68 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 It doesnt matter what box you put in, the only difference is that the 260 is stronger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e30ftw 396 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 Getrag 240 is perfectly fine. I had one behind my 2.7 m20 stroker and it was fine, more power / torque than a standard m20b25. And even when it was turbo it held up fine. Don't think I have seen anyone have issues with a getrag 240, guys in the U.S are using them (from 318is) for m50 swaps etc, No issues..
