    diff gears

    At the beginning of the year I too had my previous 2.87 diff ratio replaced with a 3.46 Diff ratio. I found that the 3.46 gear ratio better suited my everyday city driving to a point. I also found that the factory down shift point into 1'st gear at 60 km/h was still present and did make the...

    Alloytec loud squeeking noise, belt slip?

    I dont think belt slip is the problem. For all the people wanting to know what this loud squeek noise actually sounds like and where its comming from, it can be heard in my car when the transmission gear 'N' is engaged. Once the tansmission 'N" gear is selected build up a little bit of rpm...

    VZ SV6 Air Intake Pipe

    Correct me if im wrong, the air intake tube off the alloytec 175 does not have these "Air chamber tubes" that act as resonators on the 190 alloytec? If this is correct would replacing the air intake pipe of the 190 wih the 175 be a good idea?

    Alloytec loud squeeking noise, belt slip?

    Recently i have noticed especially in power mode, a very loud (now reoccurring) squeeking noise. This only happens in between gear changes and upon acceleration when the gearbox kicks back a gear and engages in higher rpm. This squeek is comming from the front end of my car, which makes me think...

    Alloytec with 3:46:1 Diff, Developing a mysterious squeaking noise!

    I suspect that the loud squeek is coming from the front of the car, I doubt it could be the diff due to the fact the same noise was recurring with the factory diff before i swapped it for a 3.46:1 diff. If it was my engine belt slipping is there anything i can do to fix this, other than...

    VZ SV6 Air Intake Pipe

    I too am also very interested to find out the purpose of these so called "air chambers", and whether it is or isn't a performance restriction. As it is to my understanding, SS inductions claim their performance intake pipe for the alloytec benefits in performance by deleting these "chambers"...
