I have a 2006 TC with a Turbo putting out about 360 WHP and want to put taller gears since I have more HP and I'm almost a redline in 4th at the end of the quarter mile.
Have you done this? and if so what ratio did you use?

 

thats a good idea. itll put a lot less stress on your drivetrain for sure. not sure what ratio to use. whats the stock ratio?

 

i was lookin into that just for the hell of it without turbo

 

w/out turbo youd have to downshift to pass cars on the interstate and such but you would get better highway mileage. also youd have to ride the clutch a little bit more =/ as long as you knew what you were doing and didnt ride it anymore than necessary youd probably be fine.

 

Transmission Five-speed manual
Gear Ratios
1: 3.538:1
2: 2.045:1
3: 1.333:1
4: 0.972:1
5: 0.0775:1
Final drive: 4.235:1
Differential: Open

 

Good idea, and you might also want to add install the LSD since you're taking the tranny apart.

 

camry fd.

 

That is actually my plan , I'm going to put in a Quaife LSD and while it was apart I thought I would change the gearing

 

changing the final drive will affect ALL gears though, meaning it could affect some lower gears as well... just a thought to keep in mind.

if you're happy with all the other gears, you might just want to replace 4th....

though i think you are just wasting your time anyway..

 

I want to have all my gears changed not just 4th, but good point...

 

i think its a good idea. have nice gas mileage when u want it and use ur snail power when u need it.
