I have just picked up to azenis today and i may be putting them on 2 95 gsr rims. But im just curious on if yall think with my stage 3 clutch and the traction that i might break an axle? Or do i not have nothing to worry about? what do yall think.... TIA....

 

yes, ive been told that its in fact easier to break an axel on drag radials than on real slicks

dont worry, with the azenis your not going to get traction. you wont break an axle on them for sure. i used them on 350whp and they never broke my axles. then i stepped up to nittos and never broke one at 500whp.

 

You'll be fine. I have Azenis and a CM Stage 4. No probs. Not like they hook up like crazy hehe.

I've done 15+ passes on slicks so far (7K+ launches).....axles have been fine.

If your still running a stock clutch then im willing to bet you will notice that start to get worn out. Just from experience....I dont know this for a fact im just giving you my opinion.

NEVERMIND!!! I just read your SIGNATURE.

Well the next time i go im going to start speed shifting(keeping the gas to the floor as i shift). I have been working on that and im gonna try it down at the track. Do you guys think i would break an axle if i use that type of driving? Or would i benefit from that type of driving?... TIA

 

anyone?

 

IMO i think speed shifting gives you about .1-.2 difference in time. I think the only time you need to worry about breaking an axel is from the start. IMO you are not pushing enough power to break anytime after the start.

has anybody ever broken a stock final drive with azenis or a tire like it, with a pretty much stock motor (GSR) speedshifting? Is it common for a stock final drive to break with not that much power? I have a clutch masters stage 3 clutch, and azenis, what do yall think? TIA....

Edit: When i got the clutch put in the replaced all the bearings and seals to inside the tranny, if that helps....

as a matter of fact my friend just broke one type r axle on azenis and the car only has a CAI.

 

But R's have shorter gears, so shouldnt they be more prown(sp?) to break due to the shorter gears? Correct me if im wrong....

Edit: What about breaking a final drive with a pretty much bolt on setup? Im more worried about the f/d then the axle....

the only time you rally need to worry about breaking an axle is at the launch. now learning how to launch is wut u need to do. instead of "poping" or sidestepping the clutch try to ride it out a bit. let out the clutch and ony floor it when the clutch is hookin up. with 400hp my boy has never broken an axle using this method of launching. hope this helps. ~NOBOOST

 

i misread your last post i thought you asked baout breaking axles. anyway, how shirt the gears are doesnt have anything to do with if the tranny will break or not. leaving the hole at 7k on any tranny, if the car hooks it can break.

 

See if i launch with the azenis i will probably be at 30psi and will launch at 3000, i wont be doing no high rpm launch's.....

Are you asking about breaking the tranny or the axles????

 

Im talking about the axle in that post, but now im more worried about the final drive....

I think you're getting all worked up for nothing IMO..
Goodluck

 

you run a 14.8 and you're worried about breaking an axle. lol

you don't have the power to do it man sorry.

however you can break the cv joints and boots by getting mad wheel hop.

 

so yall wouldnt think i would break my final drive? Even if i speed shift? TIA....

 

if you speed shift the only thing your going to break is your synchros and possibly grind the gears to nothing. that is if you mean speed shift by not taking foot off throttle and shifting. if you just shift fast and clean you wont break ****, cept the syncros will wear faster.

 

I chewed one up on street tires with a cm stage 3 but it was a 93 LS axle. Now I have Advance Auto lifetime replacement ones so I think it was a good investment for the next time I chew one up. LOL ;-)

btw it wasn't on the track when I chewed it I was gettin off the freeway. :-/

I have broken 2 DSS stage 1 axles running 14.81 on my prelude with I/E and ACT clutch.

 

you shouldnt have any problems with the azenis, i have them on some 15 inch gsrs and i launch at 2000 and never have any problems, the only thing u have to worry about is wheel hop then u might break a driveline or something, dont speed shift to often though i have a act 6 puck with a heavy duty pressure plate(wish i went organic) but ne ways my sychros are shot not now it grinds into third fourth and fifth, i got to happy and fucken speed shifted all day every day after the swap i tend to go on it easy now, i only speed shift when i race.

 

We didn't say its not going to be possible to break ****. There's too many variables to account for...Almost anyone could break their axles with near stock power if they really tried, especially if you have higher miles.

Drag racing is so damn hard on almost everything in and on your car. It's only a matter of time before **** starts to break!

 

thats why you let off the gas when your whole car is jumping up and down like a snoop dog video.
