Tuning Shorter Gear Ratio

[Miguel16v]

Hi,

I have a Fiat Coupe 1.8 16v and using it for trackdays.
I would like some shorter gears.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I was thinking about a gearbox from a punto 1.6 or an Alfa 145/146 1.6?

Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
Miguel

Why shorter gears, only makes more engine rpm. Oil is getting goddamn hot then. Shorter is possible if there is a 6-gearbox that fits, but that is nearly impossible

The goal is to get the engine to rev up more quickly. The original gear ratios are too long for the track, which causes a lot of time to be lost when shifting gears or exiting corners. On the track, the car doesn't need to reach 200 km/h. About the oil temperature, we’ve installed an oil cooler, which helps keep the temperature down.
