well i really dont think i could ever be near those numbers, its really ridiculous for a street car.. no fun at all to drive..but Focus one more question, since you know and seen in pictures the gears i have, do i have to worry about anything else in my tranny if i up the boost a little more ? is there something i should be aware off ?
From all the information I have gathered, and I know there will be people arguing with me on this one, people that have engineering degrees and what not. BUT, no degree helps when it comes to real world tests by owners.
Let me say, as a stock transmission we have a good one, but not meant to hold power, just like most other transmissions, VW, etc...
The problem with the G series transmission for high power use is two fold.
First problem is oil circulation. The gears are mounted on sleeves or bushings, whatever you want to call them. Every time I have broken a gear, it is usually accompanied with scoring and/or burning on the accompanying synchro. Tells me there was a lack of oil.
Second problem, is the casings being weak, and flexing, thus causing more stress on the gears.
Both these areas can be addressed with a Par gearset. How ??
Well , the Par gearset uses needle bearings behind the gears, instead of sleeves or bushings. This helps with oiling since more oil can flow between needle bearings , and the gears spin more freely as well.
Second, by replacing 3rd and 4th gear by straight cut, you are eliminating the side load, (at least a good amount of it, if not all ), you get with helical, therefore, less flex of the casing.
Another thing that can contribute to case strength, is to ceramic coat it. People will argue about heat, but the tranny does not get that hot that it will affect it, unless of course you road race. And if you do road race, then it's a good investment to get a tranny cooler with a pump...
