I think that's where a big part of the cost comes in; Completely disassembling and reassembling the transmission to do the cryo treatment. You can't just do the whole thing at once, all put together. You have to disassemble it for the cryo cycle or it may mess it up.

 

Def ford! Let me know when your down! And ya I know the veto treatment itself is cheap, but the labor is expensive. I would love the zzp tranny but I think think they are out right now and also would like to stay at least with 4.05 final drive so there's not as much spinning lol. Still waiting to see if there's any in stock or not tho. My stock tranny with this build lasted about 2 months!

 

Nice! Mine lasted about a month, half of that time being on 15-20psi. But my tranny was also on its way before the build due to the previous owner. I'm guessing synchro shards ate up my input shaft bearing. I had flushed it with new fluid but it doesn't seem like that helped, lol. You got lucky on 2 months though!

 

ya dude im really lucky mine lasted as long as it did!

 

[QUOTE=ryansalazan;6511498]UPDATE!!!!

Dynoed the cobalt recently and was able to put down 502WHP 500WTQ @ 25.5 psi 88 degrees out.



omg...that is nasty..how do you even drive that?...lol

 

Currently he doesn't.

lol ^^^^ sadly i have to agree but when it wasnt bad it actually is a blast! wheel does fight you a little but its normal on fwd haha

 

Ryan, did you install the ATI pulley, or decide to go another route? MPx pulley? The ATI was a part of your original build list, but then I heard you were selling one too, so I didn't know.

 

ya i put it on but i didnt like the way it fit and figured since im not going over like 7200-7400 rpm i didnt think it was completely necessary for my build at least. i do still have it and do plan on putting it on at some point but havent gotten that far yet

 

awesome

 

thanks bro!

 

I was going to hit you up when i was in HTX but you dont have 3rd gear yet so it wouldnt have been fair. Also it was pretty f'in late when i left Houston.


On second thought, i might need you to be missing a gear for our race. Down to run tomorrow?

 

Oooh ok. So are you going to be on the stock one in the meantime?

 

This is correct. The aluminum contracts more than the steel so it must be disassembled. I had mine done by Controlled Thermal Processing, Inc.

Cryogenic Processing, Treatment by Controlled Thermal Processing, Inc.

 

Wow, I wonder if ZZP would be willing to ship out tranny parts from a customer purchase of theirs and then build one of their strengthened ones after the parts have been cryo'd.

 

oh ya i completely understand you tae everything apart but will cryotreating it really make it stronger and able to handle more abuse or just more brittle? I was told it was the way the edges of the gears are shaped so unless you slightly straighten them a little they really cant be that much stronger. and what about oil treating the gears?

 

I wish I could take apart my tranny and put it back together like that LOL

 

Im getting John Powell to do mine when things settle down. Its going to be a 4.45 also. My ZZP trans is holding up great.

 

what is it that john powell is doing exactly?

 

Trans assembly of my cyroed trans. Its a brand new trans I took apart and had cyroed. 4.45 gears LSD

 

Going to the 4.45 gears helps more than anything else. It increases the mechanical advantage of the rotating parts and reduces stress and therefor breakage. As for Cyrotreating they have been doing it for years in Drag transmissions.

 

What are you going to do with your zzp trans once powell is done with your new one?

 

Run it till it needs rebuilt

 

hmm ok thanks for the help im gathering info here and there about stuff we can do to our transmissions so i can hopefully come up with something nice haha

 

You could put an automatic in it.
