    Default Cryo-treating tranny internals

    I was asking around about where to get a custom gear box done at and someone mentioned his buddy that got his DSM tranny internals cryo-treated. He said it makes them 100% stronger. Have you guys heard about this? How reliable is it?

    i just e-mailed the shop on the link listed above. I was having trouble finding a stronger gear box for my car thats not located on the other side of the globe. Then a guy suggested this to me. I'm wondering if this cryro will make it strong enough to handle the abuse i want to put the car through.

    There is no way it makes them 100% stronger. I looked into this with my P11.

    On average:

    Shot peening 15% stronger

    Cyro another 20% stronger

    And then then the PAR gearset i was looking into is virtually indestructible.

    Anyway it doesnt make it bulletproof but helps out a good deal

    Its a Suzuki Swift GTi tranny. The only place for me to get a tranny is in the UK and its about $2,500 plus S&H. i also checked on getting a dog cut gear box but its $4k. So now i'm just trying to find a little cheaper route to go cause i won't be able to race my car until i get this tranny to be able to handle the engine's out put. So basically i'm screwed.

    The cryo shop e-mailed me back saying they reccomend getting the gears REM'ed then cryo treated. I'm still iffy about it though.

    only one place to go that does great work, is local, and has good prices. off GA 400 on exit 13

    www.procryo.com

    And the process does make parts much stronger.
