Hey guys


quick question.... I have a type r tranny with oem lsd. I'm shooting for the 450-500whp range this weekeend.

I've read some stuff about these units exploding and destroying your tranny. I was just wondering whats the likely hood of that. I know its a bit of an impossible question but i just want some input. I've also read some ppl makine 600whp on them and not having an issue... is it just the luck of the draw or is there a real problem behind it?


thanks

 

i've only heard of good things with the R diff... never heard of anything blowing up even with boost.

 

anymore?

 

Lots of info on this recent thread:

good call tony

I was questioning my judgement a little after having talked to some people today.

Tunning the car this weekend..

 

More or less how about the rest of the transmission to think about? You can live for a while but failures of gearsets and destroying LSD's will happen.

 

I have the type r lsd in a gsr tranny....make about 475whp and never had any issues

 

i just made 640whp with my type r diff. and have made595whp and ran the exact dif for about two years at that power level.

 

you should be more worried about the clutch then the diff.

 

clutch is taken care of.. tilton..
