not sure if this is in the right forum or not, if its not, will a mod please move it? well i was wondering what kind of HP a stock itr lsd can hold, im planning to put a built gsr in my car and i have an itr tranny sitting here, was wondering if the diff would hold up to that kind of power on about 24.5" slicks, can someone plz answer this. thanks

 

the power doesnt have as much to do with it as the traction. If you can hook hard, plan on it breaking sooner than later. I got lucky as hell with my Diff itself, its jsut everything else that broke. I put a new trans in it when I sold it and the new owner told me some **** on the inside shattered on a street tire pass that he got some good grab on.

 

so maybe i should just buy a quaife lsd huh?

 

you never said anything about how much Hp you are gonna push or set up. But if you plan to be racing this thing on big slicks alot, i would just get a quaiffe and save the headache

 

im planning on 550-600whp and slicks so it will hook and suspension and all that, in a street car i want it to go mid-low 10's and in my drag only car im planning to go 9.40's

 

9.40s

Yeah...

 

FI forum or Drag Racing forum would give better answer, i don't know of any itr in this forum running that much hp.. with 500-600whp, i dont know i lsd is only thing to be worried about transmission wise.

 

talk to turbotypeR he is making about 550whp

Yeah...</TD></TR></TABLE> yea i said 9.40's, the owner of inline pro said the car that im buying had 550whp and ran 9.40's, so guess we'll find out next year when the track opens back up

My instincts tell me you'd lose the OEM axles before you lost the LSD.

The OEM Torsen axle isn't really set up for drag racing, anyway, and you might do better with a different kind of LSD if you have the money. However, if you "have it sitting there" you might as well go for it until it breaks, eh?

whose car is it?

 

your probably going to have alot of tranny problems with that size slicks and whp. And good luck hitting those 90's and 10's. If you do post some pics.

24.5" slicks shouldn't cause too many problems

 

ok, ill post when its done, if i still can on here, if not ill post in the FI section, and i am going to use upgraded axles also, probably DSS stg5, and the drag only car im buying used to be an inlin pro racecar, i dont see a point in spending a lot of money to make my streetcar a drag car when i can just buy one thats already certified to run 9'sand has been there before, hate all you want about the bought not built thing but it helps us all out by having more streetable EG's out there

in a type r? why???

:flamesuit: = you

 

nver said i was using a type-r that would be just plain stupid, think for a bit b4 u post

 

~300whp seems to be the rule of thumb limit for stock itr lsd.

you're obviously going for much more than that, so go with quaife.....!

 

im using 2 eg hatches

 

you will have trouble enuff getting 24.5's to hook on 350-400whp let alone 600

what are you smoking? if you can launch the car decent you can get it too hook up on drag radials let alone slicks

 

yea ive pulled a 2.0 60ft on basic street tires

 

What are you smoking . Try driving a FWD car with some power. 24.5's arent that beefy. well %100 no beefy enuff for 600hp. Unless he is running 13x24.5's then i can kinda see it. I still thought he was driving an R when i made that comment. Seeming that if it was truly an R he would be running 15x24.5s and they will %100 not hold that kinda power

 

I was talking for 300-400hp but still 24.5x8.5x13's are goin to hook pretty good with 600hp...gettin ontop of the tires out of the whole is what you have to do in a high powered FWD car

 

trust me i know a little bit about drag racing, your not telling me anything new. Again i thought he was running an R which would need 24.5x 15'x. totally diff game plan. Trust me , Ive been there and done that 1000x over again

 

he has 24.5x13 m/ts on lenso's he also has a set of sweet *** 15s with 22s with the rear skinnies. i told him he needs to mount 26s on them. 24.5 just wont provide enough sidewall flex to get traction with 600+ whp.
