cyrus Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 At 475 HP, manual trans, W/slicks will a R230V hold up? R200V? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 If they are LSD's I would say either will hold up just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 With that kind of power you cannot break an R230 or maybe even an R200. CVs, halfshafts, stub axles? Thats a different thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v8dats Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 depends how hard you bang thru those gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrus Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 I plan to run the car with slicks and do the following: 1 Pull to the dragstrip start line 2 hold the engine against the rev ~7000 limiter 3 side step the clutch 4 change underware 5 repeat I am wondering if the R200V is strong enough or do I need the R230V. There must be a least 20 pounds of extra weight there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 #4 is gonna be halfshaft, not underwear. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie-GNZ Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Once again, the issue is not the diff but the axles, halfshafts or CVs depending on what you plan to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Be sure to have someone there with a video camera the first time you do that launch. We ALL would love to see that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I'm not that excited to see the video...he's only going to move about 2-3 inches as he'll have a broken stub axle...been there done that. You may get a launch or 2 out of it, but it won't last like that. I cut some 1.5's launhing at about 5600rpm, I went closer to 6000 and broke the stub axle. I know they had some abuse on them, but they won't hold up to repeated launches like that. Be sure to bring extra parts to the track...I do. By the way, I'm running an LS r200 from a 300zx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
