I do not believe that there is a sequential gearbox available that will cope with the torque from a high boost turbo.

I look at the minispeed box last year. I concluded that it was not up to the job.

It's designed for high revving N/A applications.

I might be wrong though.

I don't know much about these, but I am guessing the gearset is the same or similar to a normal gearset, but the selector is modified in some fancy way. Am I close or way off?

Im trying to get my head around it?? Love to take a look at one close up. Surely the gears are similair to the ones we use.

Looks to me like there are no standard synchro hubs and all the gears are a lot closer to the flywheel side of the box.

I seem to remember Harris motorsport was developing a 5 speed sequential box a year or 2 ago. I bet that would cost a bomb though!

hmm well ive emailed minispeed and they said its as simiular to any dog box but the shifter unit is very complex. will ask the technician if its suitable for boost :)

The 2.3:1 1st gear will be very difficult to live with unless you use a low ratio diff gear.

If you gear the car to use the power for top speed, then it's going to be like starting off in second.

im not too brain smart on ratios and gearing but i just want to know if it will work and if it will handle. if not i wont bother. ill stick with dog box

I was in minispeed last week and i was chatting about the sequential box in the glass stand in the shop and they sad its the only 1 they have and has been to every show for 4 years now! as they cant sell it as the cost of it.

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

I bet its been there longer than that, I remember seeing one there about 6 years ago!

I believe its the same gearset as MEDs dog box but with the sequential barrel.

Really not worth it IMO or I would have one already

I seriously doubt it!

Hi, ive got a pic of the box taken at the autosport show in 2005 (unfortunatley i cant upload it) ,exhibited by the firm who made it for minispeed The gears are in a different order on the shafts with the barrel mechanism in the space next to the pinion . If someone is willing to post the pic i will send it to them ?

The pic from 5portsrock

I seriously doubt it!

well the gear kit is obviosly different,

I reckon it wouldnt be massivly hard to convert a normal dog box to sequential, a remote box might even be easier.

The gears look in the normal order to me, just looks like a standard MED dog kit

ahh, just had a check,

I was thinking the MED kit had reverse in the normal place, (ontom pf 1st/2nd selector) but the med one is different, the swifty on is how i thought though...

There is a miglia using this gear kit which has been converted for normal H pattern. Feels as good as the swifty one apparerently
