I have heard that alot of people break axles when running boost. Has anyone here broke any axles? If so, at what boost?

well, actually, we usually don't brake until AFTER we break something

 

i usually brake all the way down the track so I build more boost b/c there is more load

Honda Equation

Power + Traction * Wheel Hop = Broken Axles

 

i have had the same stock axles on my car making over 500hp every week at 26 psi of boost and never broke one yet!!!

 

damn my man, you have lsd...not the trippy kind...what tires you run?

 

i run a 245/50/16 nitto and have just swicthed to the 255/50/16 BFG but havent tested them yet. never broke and axle yet running type r tranny.

 

Did you have to do anything special to fit those meats under there?

 

Wheel hop will cause axle problems. Install Z10 radius arms to eliminate wheel hop and you will not break your stock axles.

 

are those drag radials or regular radials?

Matt....in a couple of months we'll go catch some races and see if we can put that Autozone warranty to use

they fit fine with the coilovers up just a bit. they are drag radials both sets.

 

Sweet...I was worried about this axle bustin ****. Now all I have to do is get some Jimfab bars and drag radials...after I buy a new turbo...and then after I have my Hondata tuned...and then...oh God, my wife would scratch my eyes out if she knew how much I am spending, and how much I am about to spend!

 

We are takin about gsr axels, right?

 

mine are type r. I'm not sure if they differ from gsr. the autozone/discount auto parts lifetime warranty is great. keep snapping them and bringing them back. my friend does it all the time. 3 sets at 1 event.

 

Mike, what do you guys use in the race car?

 

Autozone dicount. Schwiiing that kicks ***.

 

we use dss stage 5 including intermediate shaft.

 

definitely gotta get some races in chris, we can goto autzone with big *** smirks on our face as they replenish our power hungry hands with brand new axles

 

IM using stage 4 dss i hope mine dont break. Please don't break on me at the track. PLEASE PLEASE!

 

So not many people change their axles when boosting expect for in their race cars?? Anyone???
