Cool project, would like to do the same, that way I can get rid of these big oversize tires.

Might have been the press fit making the gears bigger that caused it to fail.

with 175/70R14 tires: geo still has smallest liter/min

car__________ final ratio__rpm@65mph__displacement-L/min
geo 3cyl_1L _____2.7176___2511.1_______2511.
saturn__1.9L____2.4502___2264.0_______4301.
Crx hf__1.5L____2.0500___1894.2_______2841.
