changing the final drive ratio won't hurt the car, if that is what you are asking. What you didn't specify ws, what engine/trans. you have, and the gear ratio now.\nGoing to a 3:73 from say a 2:91, or even a 3:08, 3:42 whatever will do 2 things. This will make your engine rpm rise quicker, and will result in a higher rpm at cruise speed while on the freeway. Will also decrease gas milage.\nIf you are looking for the quick take off at a light, gears will do it, but won't make your car any faster. Only top out sooner.\n\nEDIT: it does not take less work for a motor to turn the diff. with lower gears (yes lower. Higher numbers are lower) In fact, the motor is doing the same work, only faster. A set of higher numbered gears cause the engine to rev up quicker, that is it. Still uses the same power. The reason people go with a new gear is to increase performance off the line, by making the engine reach it's power band quicker. An engine does not develop peak power at ide or low rpm's.

if its a 99 or newer single rear wheel, its 3.73 .. if its a dually, its either 3.73 or 4.10

If you find out, tell me. I have the exact same bike and my chain just broke. I went to the local bike shop and they want $25 for the chain. They also said they probably woud recomment changing the front gears too, since both parts usually wear out at the same time. That's going to be another $50 with labor. Go to the Mongoose bike website, they might have the info on size there.

Short answer: Install a large turbo.\n\nIt depends on what type of engine you have.  If you're running a KA18DE, good luck.  You'll have to tune that engine about as heavily as possible to take it up to that much power.  However, if you have an SR20 engine, you're in a much better situation, as those can withstand much more power.  \n\nIf you have a KA18DE engine, I would suggest saving your money for a SR20DET engine, and having the SR20DET rebuilt.   That will cost more than your current budget, but will be worth it. Then, install a large turbo on the SR20DET.  I would guess that all that work may cost as much as $8k-10k, depending on how the SR20 market is right now.  \nYour other option with the KA is to install a turbo, and hope for the best. I don't know if you'll be able to pull 300HP though, especially with a tired old engine.\n\nNOTE: If your engine is naturally aspirated and hasn't been recently rebuilt, I wouldn't reccomend installing a turbo, as you're likely to blow it.\n\n**for reference** "S13" refers to an older model  (86-92?) Nissan 240SX\n\nDisclaimer: I drive a Mazda RX7 (FC3s), and have not personally  done any work of this nature on an S13.\n\nFeel free to send me a private message (I think you can on these boards) and update me/ask for more info  on the situation.

no, it's not stupid.  and can be done.  you will need to change out the tranny though.  a good C6 will bolt up to your 302, and perform very well.  you will have to take your driveline to a reputable driveline shop and have it modified to fit the length of your new engine and tranny combo.  as for your differential, as long as you're not drag racing this thing it should handle the torque and horses nicely.  if what you want is to launch the truck and pull some nice quarter mile times, then yes replace the entire rear end with that of a full size truck, that would take a bit of modification to do.  i would use the ranger's original diff and just be sure that it is full of clean extreme duty gear lube.

With the right Modifications, like taking the body off and putting it on a real frame, you could put a 454 chevy in it. And really, that is no less practical than anything faster than the stock V6. I have a 99 with a 4 banger, and it will pull the car faster than it can be safely driven. You are looking at serious suspension mods. It aint no Honda.

what year chevy  it may not be much considering its only a 4.3 liter.  are you running heads and cam   what size cam?  Ported heads?   what type bolt on?  and what kind of car is it.  Are you looking at high or low end torque?   You may want to get a dyno pull

14 bolt is PLENTY strong!\n\nBut why not sell it to a 4 X 4 enthusiast, use that money to go towards a narrowed 9" rear?\n\nI question the availability of gear ratios for that particular style of rear...That's one of the reasons why more people  aren't doing what you are considering right now!  Also think about housing ends, brakes, axles with the proper bolt patterns, etc...

those SRAM are the way to go these days. i had have heard alot of rave about those Sram X.0 carbon derailleurs and its superb shifting action and downshift are just perfect. XTR is just overrated because its has been so long in the market and people dont have much choice. Believer of SRAM. Cheers

go to parts.com that will give you a good idea

There are an incredible variety of gearhub powered bikes.  \n\nSee www.harriscyclery.com for your 3 speed parts and repair directions.  \n\nThere are 3 speed cruisers, 7 speed crusiers, 8 speed crusiers, these all come in a modern look or a retro look with both steel and aluminum available.  \n\nThere are 7 speed mountain bikes, 8 speed mountain bikes, 14 speed mountain bikes, and coming soon, a 9 speed.  \n\nThere are also 8 speed road bikes.  \n\nNone of these have derailleurs at all, and they all have gearhubs like your 3-speed.  ;)

Yeah...  What Marky said.\nThen add a performance chip, fuel injectors (if necessary), larger throttle body, and mass air flow sensor (if applicable). Intake manifold....\nThen put a huge Turbonectics Turbocharger on it!\nTo go faster, you need to get more air and fuel in, and more exhaust out.\nHave fun!!

get smaller gearing and itll make it harder to pedal a little bit but youll get more speed so yeah or u could just get lighter parts so easier to pedal just make sure everythings tight or ulll get screwed over so yea if u need to know anything else bout bike email me crashnbad@yahoo.com

FOR UNDER $300... that's a tall order. I guess, get to be buddies with someone who has a bike they can sell you used. That's still cutting it awful close. You could do it on a regular road racing bike, again, you'll have to go used and don't expect STI or Campagnolo Ergo (brake levers that have shifters built in). But with a regular road bike it'd be more likely than with a Tri-specific bike.\n\nIf you're handy with a wrench you might be able to build one up for that amount, maybe even an old Trek 2100 or 2300 with downtube shifters. \n\nFactor in the cost of bike shoes and pedals as well - this will eat up alomst $200 if you go inexpensive but still decent. If you just want to do the course, and not expect to be competitive, it's doable for a little less.

preferably they all should be of the same size. if they arent, the gears will start to bind and the all wheel drive wouldnt work as efficient. on the late 90's models, there is a fuse under the hood when plugged in will make the car front wheel drive only. so put the mismatched tires on the back until you can get the same size all around
