PPG Gears K Series AWD Transfer Gear Set

PPG Gears AWD Transfer Gear Set - Honda K Series

You're running an AWD K series setup and the stock transfer case gears aren't going to last. You're making serious power or you're drag racing and you know the stock gears are the weak point. PPG's AWD Transfer Gear Set replaces the stock cast gears inside your CR-V or Element transfer case with motorsports-grade billet steel gears. These are the gears that live inside the transfer case and take power from your front differential and send it back to the driveshaft. The stock gears are cast. They're fine for a bone-stock CR-V making 160 hp. They're not fine when you're making 600+ whp and launching hard or when you're running 10-second passes. PPG's gears are machined from billet steel. They're rated for 1500 hp. They're designed to work with the Drag Cartel billet transfer case or the stock transfer case housing. You're pulling the transfer case apart and replacing the gears. This is what serious AWD drag racers are running when they're making real power.

Here's What the Transfer Case Does and Why Stock Gears Fail

The K series AWD transfer case bolts to the back of your CR-V or Element transmission. There's an extra ring gear on the front differential that drives the transfer case. The transfer case takes that power and sends it back to the driveshaft through a set of gears. Those gears are the transfer gears. The stock transfer gears are cast steel. Honda designed them for a stock CR-V that's never going to see more than 200 hp at the crank. When you're making 500-800 whp and you're launching at 6000 RPM with slicks, the stock gears can't handle it. They strip. They crack. They explode. We've seen stock transfer gears fail at 400 whp just from hard launches. The PPG gears are machined from motorsports-grade billet steel. That's the same material PPG uses for drag racing gearsets that are handling 1500+ hp. The gears are stronger. The teeth are thicker. They're not going to strip when you're making boost and dumping the clutch.

Works with Stock or Drag Cartel Billet Transfer Case

PPG's transfer gear set works with the stock CR-V/Element transfer case housing or with the Drag Cartel billet transfer case. If you're running a stock transfer case and you're just upgrading the gears, you're pulling the case apart, swapping the gears, and bolting it back together. If you're running the Drag Cartel billet transfer case, these gears are designed to drop right in. The PPG transfer gear set works with the PPG transfer case shaft and the PPG hypoid gears. You can buy the complete PPG transfer case combo or you can buy the pieces separately and build it yourself. Most people running serious power are running the full PPG setup. Transfer gears, transfer shaft, and hypoid gears. All billet. All rated for 1500 hp. That's the setup that's surviving in the 8-second and 9-second AWD Hondas that are making 1000+ whp.

This is for AWD K Series Builds Making Serious Power

If you're running an AWD K series swap and you're making over 400 whp, you need to think about upgrading your transfer case internals. The stock gears are the weak point. They're going to fail. It's not a question of if. It's a question of when. PPG's transfer gear set is what you install when you're building the drivetrain to handle the power you're making. If you're turbocharged and you're making 600-800 whp, you need this. If you're drag racing and you're launching hard, you need this. If you're building an AWD setup from scratch and you're planning to make power, install the PPG gears from the beginning. Don't wait for the stock gears to fail and then replace them. The labor to pull the transfer case and replace the gears is the same whether you're doing it proactively or after the stock gears explode. Do it right the first time.
