Hello folks..
I've boosted my 406 1.9td power by upping the turbo pressure and I'm pleased with the result. However, it now feels like it's a bit short on gearing. Does anyone know if a HDi box will drop in? I get ~75mph @3000rpm. I want to have nearer 90mph @3000rpm.
Thanks

1.9td top gear ratio
Moderator: RichardW
Changing final drive ratio would be ideal i suppose. Thing is, which car would I take the diff from? I understand that the diesel already has a tall top gear compared to the petrol models. Do any of the 306's or 206's have a taller final drive on account of them having smaller wheels....
Do you know which models would be suitable? Gearing ratios, even for my own car aren't easily available.
Thanks

One other possible answer is a six speed gearbox. This will depend if it will fit. This will give you overdrive ratio's on the top three speeds. Typical ratio's from memory are 4 = 0.95:1, 5 = 0.80:1 and 6 should be somewhere in the region of 0.075:1.
Final drives used to be anything from 4 - 3.5:1.
Did the V6 406 have a 6 speed 'box fitted at some point in time?. I suspect this will be the same one as the 1.9dt as the torque rating will be similar.
I will try to find out the gear ratio's and final drive over the next few days.
One possible source of information could be the Peugeot Owners club as they might have a technical person or some of the performance car magazines
