Renault UN1 gearbox

Post by conkers »

Ok stoopid question time... I have have been looking at a tdi conversion and I saw that the Renault UN1 gearbox does 78mph in top gear at 3000 revs. I assume if I leave the aaz in the engine will struggled to turn the gearbox efficiently and I would need at least 90bhp to turn it properly, ie without shortly destroying the engine.

Feel free to tell me off...

Btw has anyone done the Renault conversion to tdi?

There are quite a few different UN-1 transaxles, with various final drive ratios. Tim Shettle in Bristol is your man, trades as Ultimate Engineering.

Hi yes I have just checked out his site - thank you! Always feel odd re calling people and potentially wasting their time! They must get 20 "I want more power" conversations a day.
