stormcp Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Does anybody know how much power you can put through a six speed box? Does the csr use the same normal caterham six speed i.e. 260bhp. I have a standard hpc I am looking to put it into with an engine upgrade in mind. Regards Matt Yellow Blur! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Yup, I think so. The R500 and R500 Evo both used the same box. If you look in forsale, you will find an HPC / anniversary for sale with the 6 speed box installed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 However there are some 6 speed upgrades that would be desirable. Stronger 5th gear plus some other bits & pieces that Phil Stewart at R & R (01959-525105) could advise on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Mick, are you sure? A friend recently visited R&R and asked about changes to the cogs and was told there are no alternatives available... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 My box was serviced by them in November. As part of that service a stronger 5th gear was fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Mav It depends on when the box was maunfactured and IIRC they changed the position of an oilway on the 5th gear Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F355GTS Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I've just fitted one in my VX so we'll see how it gets on with 270bhp and 184lb/ft Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
