This season we are going to put more power to engine. Maybe anyone has an experience with F23 gearbox in race conditions with 500Nm? Does anyone know if Hoffman's Europa still run with M32?

I'm pretty sure Hofmann's are still on the standard gearbox at present.

Cooler for gearbox has been already done, but I wasn't sure that F23 could handle about 500Nm.

500Nm, about 370 lb.ft , which I've been running more on my F23 for last two years. I don't have a gb cooler, and the only problem I have is a worn baulk selector ring on second gear, which I rarely use on track. I think I overheated that doing sprint events. Only thing stopping me running more boost and torque is original conrods.

Fresh gearbox fluid is a cheap consumable to swap for each race.

Thanks for encouragement. I think, I'll stay with F23 at least for this season.

Sorry I can't share it, because it is light-weight wing made from alluminium using old technology and it's only one. But I could upload a few pictures from the process, if interested.

What happened with the Z20LET?
Looks more like a newer LNF or Z20NET/Saab turbo lump...
