What's new

CONGRATULATIONS TO VERNON AND THE CREW AT RAVER MOTORSPORTS  for their record breaking 216 mph run at El Mirage Dry Lake.

The Galant VR-4 was driven by Ron Cochran.

Hey Jon,

We made you proud!  216 mph two-way average is the new G/PS record.  Ronnie ordered a professional photo for you of the car charging down the salt.  As soon as it comes in we'll forward it to you.  The trans was flawless.  We dyno'd 860 whp at 8600 rpm and over 600 ft # torque with 48 psi from the GT42R, but our runs were down 150-200 whp since our ebc only got us 29 psi.  That flying box has gone faster than i ever thought possible AND there is obviously more potential still in it.

With a little luck we'll reset the El Mirage record in three weeks and get another 200+mph record. 

Have a great weekend and we'll talk to you soon,

Vernon of RaVer Motorsports

SLAVE CYLINDER BLOW-OUT  Replace your old leaky slave cylinder with a new OEM model for $20.  Click here to check out the deals.

EVOLUTION REAR DIFFERENTIAL SERVICE  For a limited time the MAX-LOCK and STU rear differential upgrades are on sale. For more info click here.

EGT PROBES ARE IN STOCK We have those fast EGT probes in stock once again. For more info click here.

GARAGE SALE PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED While doing some cleaning we found quite a few EVO parts that needed to go on the garage sale page. So check the garage sale page. 

INCREDIBLE DEALS ON THE CURRENT SPECIALS PAGE  TRE needs more shop space and that means some transmissions have to go. Most of these transmissions are tricked out with upgrades and options that aren't standard in the transmissions on the EXCHANGE page. You will find that most of them have 4 spider center differentials, shot peened gearsets, double synchro EVO-III gearsets..  Click here to check out the deals.

REAR DIFFERENTIAL UPGRADE SERVICE  We offer a whoop ass rear differential upgrade and yes you need it.  Autocross EVOs are knocking over a second off every 60 seconds of track length and road racers are achieving quicker track times due to the ability to use the whole track and  more conventional suspension set-ups. This is no BS and if you think your EVO is fast around a track just wait till you drive it after TRE has been through it. Check out the details here.

RIPGRIP What is a RIPGRIP?  It's the infamous limit slip insert thingy for your transmission's open-style front differential, designed to provide increased traction to both front wheels. We now stock them for the Mitsubishi  FWD &AWD vehicles.  Custom units available upon request.  Q: Will it break? A: No, the RIPGRIP will not break.  Q: Will it make my front differential spider gearset fail quicker?  A: It's a possibility but you should understand that the spider gearset and cross shaft should be inspected for signs of fatigue or abnormal wear and replaced if necessary.  Another important procedure while installing the RIPGRIP is to reshim the spider gearset to bring eliminate backlash. This is what we do to while rebuilding our transmissions and so should you.

SHOT PEENING SERVICE  There are certain parts inside the transmission that can be strengthened from shot peening.  Shot peening is a cold metal working post process which is done to the gears to make them tougher and last longer. The gears are stacked onto a mandrel and loaded into the shot peening machine that uses 40HP worth of compressed air to hurl the highest quality of steel shot available at the gear. As the shot strikes the gear it peens the surface, leaving  small indentations or dimples. Overlapping dimples develop an even layer of metal in residual compressive stress. This is a good thing for it is well known that cracks will not initiate or propagate in a compressively stressed zone, such as the root radius of the gear teeth, where nearly all gear teeth failure start.  Rule of thumb: shot peened gears generally act like they are 20% larger in cross section.  Not to be confused with an ordinary shot blaster at the engine shop; this equipment is solely designed, built and calibrated to provide the correct level of intensity, shot pattern and coverage of the work piece and is operated by trained professionals. The machine is semi-automatic allowing precise control over all parameters for perfectly shot peened gears every time. Shot peening is considered a costly process, most automakers do not shot peen their gear sets unless absolutely necessary for gear life. We feel that shot peening is cheap insurance and have seen impressive results and shot peening is highly recommend to those who are looking to maximize the strength of their gearing for high torque applications. If you are serious about extending the service life of you transmission you will want to get the gears shot peened.
