badjuju Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 my buddy's got a turbo volvo sedan thats running like 14 psi right now, hauls ass, just got his diff welded. the boost hitting isn't a problem at all, but then the boost comes in pretty quickly compared to my 280, not as much of a jolt at all. I say go for it, you'll probably be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnjdragracing Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Yes we have a couple of welded R200 diff. The car drives okay around the street, excelent for the dragstrip. I have a full spool in the monte which is a street car with 4.30 gear ratio, it drives fine also, just when cornering the tires will churp other than that it is okay. You really have to be careful when the roads are wet when turning a corner because it will come around easy. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overkill Z Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Welding the differential has no affect on the gears. i know john...but if i dont like the welded diff then its going to be hard to find another with 336 gears in it...because i didnt not like the stock gear ratios...

oinojo Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 i know john...but if i dont like the welded diff then its going to be hard to find another with 336 gears in it...because i didnt not like the stock gear ratios... are you running an R200 336?

The differential is a separate, bolt-on unit from the ring gear. If you weld the diff and then don't like it, you can unbolt it from your 3.36 gearset and bolt on another diff - open, LSD, or Quaife. A differential for any R200 will bolt on to pretty much any R200 ring and pinion gearset, assuming a 10mm or 12mm attachment bolt. Same is true for an R180 differential and a R180 ring and pinion gearset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overkill Z Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 AWSOME that was iv been worried about if i could take out the welded spider gears if i dont like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I have a 3.54:1 locked R180 in my car. Its not that bad to drive, though mine has a habit of loosening the nuts that hold the diff cover to the moustache bar. When they're loose its a total dog as you'd expect, when they're tight.. well carparks are no fun, but everything else is. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
