THAT is positive thinking! :-)

Awe, trying to race a bike like Marc? Hope she's together again soon

So does this mean I'm off the hook to help move in? It is approaching the 108deg mark and moving doesn't sound fun. I'm sorry to hear that. If it isn't one thing it's another. Maybe you ought to tone that stroker down a notch.

I got another dif if ya need one. I even have stub axles for this one....

Well, what did you expect to happen when you hit that poor little diff with that big hammer? :?



Kidding ;-) Good luck getting it back together, and watch those launches and tight turns.

I'd probably recommend against another Torsen. This is the 7th example in 3 years Ive seen failing in the exact same manner.

Yeayyyyy more Torsen diffs for MEEeeeee

Is this a TorSen in the front diff? I'm not extremely familiar with the broken pieces here.

Yes, front torsen diff aka a v8 rear machined to work my Scott at advanced. This was done at 25psi on the stroker or about 450whp. Torsen was cool in a strait lime but you can feel the torsen searching in corners.. ultimately I think the shock load searching is what caused a helical to twist. The v8 casing doesn't inspire confidence for rigidity, so a wavetrsc or similar diff is probably the more robust option in the front. I'll likely go back to open with a wavetrac rear. This built trans lasted all of about 1500 miles, no track days and a few break in miles..

front Wavetrac here, and nothing bad to say about it. and i am beating on it pretty good with 760 AWHP..... but i dont turn., i am not smart enough to

Dude, that freaking blows ass. >(

I know you're hard on parts and all but...

Good luck with the move

She is now amongst some rally legands in Sean's shop till I get mine setup at the weeks end! Gotta get a trans together and slapped in there in time for bbq. Think I am going to take this trip at 18 psi and take it easy. I have net my years quota for busted stuff this year.

Burn that transmission, or find a large building to drop it off.

All I see when you say that is ... $$$$$$ :barf:

This beast better survive till BBQ!!!

Glad to see you guys made it down, now take 6 hours, get some rest and then back at it! Wish Johnnyman and I could come down and lend a hand with shop setup

It seems like you didn't need those block improvements

Of course he needed that. He also needs to ditch that skirt he's wearing and turn up the boost. 18 psi, lol. :-P
