Benedict Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I have been searching online with no luck for axles that can hold up to 500-700 hp. Does anyone have any experience or help with this? Also, what diff should I look into to hold this much power? Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Our search function doesn't always work right. But this is one topic that has been discussed in so much detail that it might be worth your time to start reading though old posts in this section to form your own answer. To point you in the right direction, the weak link in the Datsun IRS rear are the stub axles. Ross at Modern Motorsports is now offering aftermarket stub axles, but haven't heard or read anything about what kind of torque they can withstand. Ross also offers CV half shaft upgrades, although I think 700 HP would be pushing the limits of those. For that kind of power, depending upon use, you may want to go solid rear axle. For diffs, an R230 is the big dog, but an R200 with a Quaiffe or other type of LSD is generally considered good for 500 HP or more. There is really a huge difference between 500 and 700 HP. I think your answer will differ depending on which end of that range you actually build. Give the search function another chance with some of the key words above.
