to fit the t-case use the mounts off it not your og case and you need to change the flange to the 1l and also the jackshaft.i done this to mine and run 31s and it was a fair improvement.

It won't. Infact - it should reduce your road speed by exactly 12% so you will have to rev your engine harder to get the same speeds out of the car.
However, if you are increasing your tyre size by 12% then everything will work out and you can drive you car at 12% slower to still be doing to same road speed.
cheers,
Greg

You can guestimate if the gearing will be good or not with a quick calculation based on the tyre size and gearing reduction... if you are increasing your gearing by 12%, you can increase your tyre size by 12% too with little affect on engine performance etc...
So going from stock tyres (26") to your new tyres (31") will be a 19% increase... So on paper - your gearing will be too tall, but obviously when you actually measure your tyres and see that your 31" tyre is actually a 30 or something - things may sort themselves out a bit better... i.e. a 30" tyre is only a 15% increase so that may be a bit better...
Either way - It should be good fun - but i still reckon you'll want a rockhopper if you are going to hit the hard stuff.
Cheers
