Mike Biddle Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Elie, I have a Quaife unit, the first model in a type 9 casing. It was rebuilt by Quaife in 2005 and was only back in the car briefly for about 2000 miles. Has been sitting around since then and I have been meaning to sell it but never got round to it. Mike.

elie boone Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 Mike, is this the same box as used on the Graduates Mega race cars ? will it take 250bhp ? Edited by - elie boone on 7 Jun 2012 16:26:07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Russell Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Elie, FYI Megagrads use Type-9 'boxes with 'Tran-x' straight cut gearset and uprated steel blockers and synchro rings. They are not sequential. ETA: The Megagrad 'box went through many permutations before the club arrived at a spec which would handle the Mega's 135-140bhp for more than half a season or so, and even now they are not unimpeachibly reliable.

Mike Biddle Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Elie, my motor is 350HP, and I have used two Quaifes and a Sadev in it without any problems. I think your rear tyres will spin up before you can damage the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Russell Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 The weakness in the H-gate 'box is almost always the selector mechanism (Selector forks, rollpins, synchro assemblys etc). I imagine the gearset itself could handle much more power. It's the rough racing treatment that kills 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Some interesting info on the Megagrads' boxes, James. I'm not racing mine so hopefully it should last with the standard blocker bars and rings. Which reminds me, I need to call Tran-X. Again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Biddle Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Thanks to others that have mailed me on this subject, and apologies to Eli. I had left the box with Russell at Rs Performance tears ago with the understanding that it was for sale, but since nothing nothing had happened I responded to Elies post, but Russell had already sold it and is in the process of building it into a car, so sorry it's no longer vailable.

EFA Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I hope you got more than £1500 for it Mike. They are worth close on double that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
