MGZT 120 'single mass' gearbox...with turbo!

Scott Stephen · 20th March 2019, 21:38

Hi all.

I am currently going through the motions of a turbo conversion for my MG ZT 120. I will be using the current gearbox with the setup. Obviously, this is a single mass flywheel setup designed to deal with much lower power/torque. Is there anyone out there who has used this box with higher power applications? - Can it take it? - Looking at the breakdown of both the na and turbo gearboxes, nothing seems that different?
I realise that an uprated clutch will be in order but my main fear is catastrophic 'box failure when the torque comes....especially with a 200bhp remap

Any help...much appreciated!

Thanks.
