Modding this vari will give you much more variation with zero downsides. Basically one can cut a flat onto the cheek on a lathe up to the belt wear line (approx 4mm from bushing) and then cut recesses into the vari inner wall at the end of each ramp to allow the roller to go further out. I leave about 1mm thickness of wall in the recess. This mod will allow approximately 4mm+ more belt travel to end above the top of the variator cheek. Truly a fantastic modification to make this variator into a top speed beast. *** Be sure to have your rear pulley modded for more travel and have belt height set so the vari doesn’t keep variating after the rear pulley is bottomed out or carnage can ensue.
