Noz Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 My career is investment casting. Typically, turbine blades for jet engines or gas turbines. How are the gears manufactured in the Toyota gearboxes. I'm now in a position to approach my direct manager and ask for the possibility to do trials for other industries. My first consideration, was improving transmissions. As my company does single crystal components for super high temperature/force applications, I was assuming there would possible be some material and casting process where I could improve the weaker parts of of the transmissions. Perhaps even change the ratios. I'm going to be approaching this topic next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 This sounds super interesting, and could potentially earn you a small fortune while helping others. If you find/manufacture something for the W58 that is cheaper to buy than a R154/V160 - i'd certainly be interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I think Chris Wilson will be your man for this. Otherwise, the likes of Quaife, OS Giken, Cosworth etc probably have info online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
