I will be needing some gearbox work before I go searching for more power.Dazza.Im pretty sure the planetary gears are taken out, and re-tempered so the metal is not as brittle. A few people (Inc myself) have broken or chipped the ends off the teeth on the planetaries, so this is something Kewish have done to eliminate the problem.By softening the temper of the gears slightly it makes them a little pliable, allowing them to flex instead of just chipping ofr snapping off.that's why Kewish are not the cheapest, but do a complete job.

Inder compression and sheering forces the gear itself is alot stronger...But this is assuming they are doing a full heat treatment and blast....I say they would have to be..

To each his own, but I have one Q for ya - if you've got yer knickers in such a twist, why bother posting at all?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Don't worry savage. He had to gut his car, add Nitrous and count on a chilli Victorian night to achieve that (only just) 9 second pass. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>No NOS on the car check your facts first a few of the xr6 turbo guys looked over the car and it is still the only xr6 turbo to do it with only 430 to 440rwkw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't need the heavy duty valve springs either for the stage 1 or 2. Check out the Nizpro forum.http://forums.nizpro.com.au/phpbb/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
