People tend to say 150bhp, but theres been discussions on here in the past that they will take much more in a lighter car. Similarly with rear axles
etc.
BGH (Brian Hill) gearboxes have an excellent reputation, but upgraded ones arent cheap.
There are plenty of people on here running well over 150bhp through a T9 though. They certainly wont last 100,000miles but still, they are cheap
enough to just replace if you bust it.

I am putting 200hp and 165 lbft of torque through one, in a heavier car they will smash very quickly at that power (I have broken many!! ) but in a
seven the tyres let go first!
As you say they are cheap, I have a couple of spares laying around in wait!

Well they managed to drag 160bhp Capri's around that weighed well over a ton.
I will now have well over 150bhp and am not expecting any problems.
Summer's here!!!!

Yea but they did break doing so!!!
They even used them in the later MK2 Granada 2.8i manual's, with 1400kg and 160hp!!
I have had such a box in a '87 capri 2.8i and a '82 granny 2.8i, and they were both noisy and tired. XR4i's are usually knacked in
this dept too!

Burtons don't list this gearbox, but people have mentioned it before. Is it just another name for the Type E?
