Guest rick458 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 What IS the HP/Torque limit of an R180 Diff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug71zt Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I don't know the exact limit - I managed to blow the spider gears to bits with a 2.8 W/webers, cam, etc. Of course that was 18 years ago....when that engine was the hot setup. Any serious traction with a big motor could cause problems with the spider gears. A R180 lsd probably wouldn't be bad - as it is probably a 4 pinion unit.

Workinprogress Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 Pathogen, I have to say that the 260Z rear end size must be updated to reflect that a 2+2 has a R200 rear end. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest subdermal Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 <Slight tangent> - what would be really very useful is a Z diff faq with a sticky on it so that the same questions wouldn't keep comign up. THere are so many combinations that it makes one's head spin. I've been trying to keep up, and I see questions that I've seen a dozen times before and the irritating part isn't that its the same question, its that I still can't remember the answer If a Z veteran (or a few) were to put that together it would be much appreciated by not only myself, but by a vast majority of the members I'm sure. If not, I will write one up as best as I can when I get to that part of 'the project'. It's only fair, since I brought it up </tangent> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
