no real point unless you want to sit at a lower rpm on long journeys. box weighs more, have to split it in 2 to change speedo ring on diff to make clocks read correct. you need to modify the gear linkage by shortening the part that connects to the box itself. you need a different passenger side mount for the f28. you will also need a clutch and pot type flywheel to suit as the input shaft is different to an f20.

Standard C20XE isn't really powerful enough to run an F28 efficiently.
It sounds good having 6 gears but you're better off just getting another f20 or if you want a bit more acceleration, get an f16

I thought they were the same ratios only the 28 has an extra gear?

f20 for acceleration ,use an f18iirc i think 5th, it's a longer ratio, therefore be pretty good on the long distance.
