Hi all
So i decided to go SR after all, even tho i said i never would but a great deal came along which I couldn't resist.
I want to start by thanking the guys who got my gearbox to me:
Riekert who brought it to PE,
Mike who arranged transport from there and
David in who's drift car it got brought up to PTA.
Guys moer of a thanx ,hope ill be able to return the favor someday.
Ill probably start rebuilding the gearbox the beginning of next month. The pics should follow soon.

Great Charl, after all the talking and everything it is great to see you are getting ready for the real deal.

you need more than a sr gearbox to do a sr swap 😂

can you not use CA18DET gearbox on an SR swop??

LLindt16 Oct 2009, 13:05

only if you swop the front part of the gearbox, the internals are pretty much the same

CCharlvdw16 Oct 2009, 13:10

Even the part nr. are the same just the bell housing differs.

BBos16 Oct 2009, 14:20

so you need one of them bell housings when doing a swap

Or get a gearbox for about R4k.

BBos16 Oct 2009, 14:53

really didn't know that at all, even after all the research I've tried to do.
I was under the impression my current g.box setup would work

CCharlvdw16 Oct 2009, 15:02

Sr runs much larger(diameter) flywheel then the ca so the ca bell housing wont fit over it.

BBos16 Oct 2009, 15:16

Ya that throws a spanner in the works, it may just be cheaper to do a rebuild on my CA.

Hey man! glad I could help.

Yea and so it finally started ,removed the CA this weekend but now I'm confused, not so sure i want to go SR anymore.

DDracomoderator05 Jul 2010, 08:07

You should have gotten confused before you pulled the engine sparky!!!!

ggodzilla05 Jul 2010, 08:24

for the hell of it a rb20 gearbox will also work but ull still need a sr bel housing . but be warned the rb20 box is SHORTER than the srbox so you might need to lengthen your prop. granted we did the sr swop on a nissan lwb bakkie and when the sr box k@ked did a rb box swop rebuilt the srbox but was too lazy to do the swop again, and no my sr box is not for sale unless someone wanna swop for rb25 fatbox.......

CCharlvdw06 Jul 2010, 15:39

SR it is. 😀

DDanielmoderator06 Jul 2010, 15:53
