Thread: GI 2.93 1" gearsets, "Mr Norris' third fist" brace

looking at these things and since im assuming that zzp only has 3.29 because they found the GM PM 3.29 tooling where the 2.93 sets are hobbed billet.

looking at RE'n em

id think that the morse chain would probably last longer if the engine had less leverage on it.

probably only one or two of ya that would be interested in that...probably more would be interested in the brace

any of you ****ers be interested in the norris brace? should end up far cheaper than the billet unit.
probably one of the best things since sliced bread, daves right, the case can deflect quite a bit, that whole half of the stator support has no support except for a long thin/flat section of casting. while not as sexy as his prototypes this still braces the stator support against the two meatiest parts of the case to prevent the stator/gear from twisting out of alignment.

my guess is that even a 7/8ths chain would last longer if the gear wasnt twisting and messing up what is supposed to be even tooth engagement.

i wanna show dave that there are at least a dozen folks out there that would want his brace

ZZP does not have the the GM PM 3.29 tooling. They copied the 7/8" sprockets and made them wider.....that's it.

I changed Dave's design so that the parts that need work are easy. the stator support is modified as is the fourth accumulator but I'm trying to fix that with an idea I have

Don't you have to modify the case/converter and stuff to make this work?

I want one but I need to know exactly how much this costs and how to install it

I've been working with Dave to make the case and channel plate cover modifications very minimal.
so far it looks like there's a chance I can make it so that all you have to do is bolt in a different stator support

if thats the case and I can work a deal with dave to send him back whatever he sent me and change it.. and the price it right.. sure Ill show some interest. Need more details thought

This wont make it into your trans my thanskgiving Aaron.....maybe if James has a prototype heading your way but Dave don't rush a product to market. Pretty sure the current brace was a design 2 years in the making.

yeah I'm only making two prototypes and one for the TR and Dave is getting the other one to check over and provide any suggestions.
this is daves s*** I'm just taking the ball and running with it

Yeah thats fine.. so I have to pull the trans and install whatever lol

yeah I think I found the way to idiot proof Dave's design

lol bring it on
$$$$ is a huge factor too

duh that's the whole point of me changing the design is to make it cheaper and easier to install lol

Seriosuly though, if you need a test car or something you know how to reach me

yeah but I need actual high horsepower cars to test this....
