Just curious as to how many people are using the GT-50 gearbox, and what success they've had?

http://www.gforcetransmissions.com/tran_gt-50.asp

any engine bay pictures would be apprecaited (want to see how they mounted the engine since the gearbox isnt used as part of the mounting setup.

and they say that it will work with reverse rotation engines - but does this mean a h22a mounted on the passenger side, or keeping it on the normal side?

and does anyone know what the variable and intermediate set gear ratios mean? not quite sure how they related to the 1-5 and final drive gears.

one last thing - does it have a reverse?

thanks!!!

 

I think right around 20k range....I think Mark Brauning is the only person that is actually using the box currently....hope that helps.

Yup there about $15,000. And unproven I think Mark Brauning's allmotor car has one.

 

That thing looks like a Scion XB!

 

looks like a Lego piece to me.

Bothwell tested it in their car and broke it. They fixed the problem with the X-trac.

i assume that's in his K-series engine'd car.

really wanting to try and find something that'll work with a driver's side F/H engine.

if the power holding ability (should be torque, but anyway) stands up to what they say it sounds promising.

one word

FABMAN ! &lt;----- contact him

 

why not the xtrac. it has been proven by several pro teams to hold the power

 

Jared,

the xtrac is not a true clutchless transmission. It still requires engine cuts to change gears. If the g-force box worked properly it would be quicker than the xtrac

 

in our superstock/F escort, we run g-force boxes, we have two of them with different ratios. of course this is a rwd car so cant really compare but just gotta shift hard and theyll get the job done

If all goes well,We are hoping to put it to the test in a year or two.

 

how much is an xtrac? Aren't they a lot more than that?

 

About 19k for an xtrac.

 

ah, that's not as bad as I thought. I thought they were like 30k. lol

 

I noticed the hp rating is only 1100. I know a few pro teams that have surpassed that. Maybe a liability. I know the xtrac holds the power.

 

Garcia dont you have an xtrac in your car? If so can you post pics of your setup.

thanks

Yes we do, but I'm sorry, I don't have any pics that show the tranny. Our intercooler pretty much covers that area. We have an older version with a gm bellhousing, we had a midplate fabbed up to adapt it to a honda motor.

 

sounds good, didnt realize they had a gm housing...thnx

pdang

 

Actually they don't come with a bellhousing. You need to get one made seperately. We got ours that way, so we made it work. I believe Browell makes bellhousings for them.

There is a gear set availible for some xtracs that is a true clutchless setup. No cuts or powerloss required

 

does that require a "hulk hogan 24 inch python" right arm to move the shift lever into the next gear ?
