Never had that exact combo, but 9:1s will be way low for that much lusty Corsa/Scorp power. Even at 11K, my calculations predict a top speed of 64, and you better be sure your Main jet and oiling are generous.

Re: Corsa+scorpion+9to1
I need to shorten these gears up some.. I didnt notice too much of a difference, going from 6.8 to 1 to 7.5's..i still would like to have the cruising high speed but want the take off as well.. Im guessing 8:4:4 is going to be what i need..oh and in using stock clutch and vari..

I've never had the good fortune to bolt up a Scorpion, but with PG Short and 7.5s the Corsa has enough power to wheelie and aside from 0-5, take-off isn't an issue. Seems to me that even 8.44s are pretty short for your setup. Have you considered 7.97s?

Re: Corsa+scorpion+9to1
Go with 8-1 trust me you will never take it back off. I love my 8-1. It hits low end and top end. Unless uou want 7-1 which is only top end.Downsouthdio wrote:I would love to go 8to 1..

perhaps my jetting is too rich and my variator weights are too heavy, because I don't wheelie and I only weigh 185 and i have 9:1 gears with a corsa pg long, and 24oko. I don't get it, I only hit 57mph gps verified at 11,100 rpm after a 1/3 of a mile run, so i'm assuming the variator was maxed out. Suppose I should do the magic marker test to see how high up it goes huh?
If you have too stiff of a contra spring, will it not max out the variator?

Re: Corsa+scorpion+9to1
What benefits do the zx trans give? Is it worth the extra cash and effort to install? The zx how to guides pictures are gone ):
