Re: Bennoz 6A13 Conversion
GSP are good. A few guys on the triton forum (myself included) have found these to be the closest to OEM strength and quality on the Tri's. One guy alone has destroyed more than 20 of the repco, GSP and genuine CV's.Bennoz wrote:True

Re: Bennoz 6A13 Conversion
What actually keeps going wrong with yours. Because I haven't had any issues with mine yet. Mind you I'm only running 9psi and occasionally 14psi so that might be the difference.

Re: Bennoz 6A13 Conversion
Yeah about 10 pages back in this thread It's going to the shop this time, I'm not doing it. Want them to investigate that, plus I think the diff needs internal shimming.Shhtuart wrote:Have you ever looked into getting the gearbox strengthened?

Re: Bennoz 6A13 Conversion
Oh ok so does it just get a bit noisy or does it become un-drivable. And how many psi are you running at the moment out of curiosity so I know what to avoid doing lol. Mind you I can't really go much over 9 psi at the moment till I get an LSD. Because one tyre just looses grip as soon as I get to about 9psi.

Re: Bennoz 6A13 Conversion
Yeah so I run 18 pound lol.. with an LSD both tyres light up at any given time
Doesn't stop it from being driveable, but you can hear a nasty knocking noise coming from the box. The longer you leave it, the more chance you have of damaging other parts in the box, as metal shards go all through it as the bearing disintegrates.

Re: Bennoz 6A13 Conversion
So are those GSP CVs any good?
How would they compare to rebuilt OEM CVs both in cost and quality?

Re: Bennoz 6A13 Conversion
Toying with the idea of re-jigging my fuel system. I don't much like the racket the external pump makes, plus the legalities of it.
A few years back, the yanks started developing dual pump hangers. Few available now for early Evos & Eclipses. Might see which one is the best fit & try it with dual Walbros. Can then essentially use the factory fuel lines & not have to run them all around the ass end of the car to secondary pump. * RTA Engineer likes this*
