How'd you get that burnout to happen?

Right on Phil. I'm shure you knew I didn't really know the details, just a little logic with some speculation

I'm glad to hear the R160 can hold up. When I can get a nice one like a Cusco, I was hoping the axelshafts would be the "shear pin," so to speak. Replacing a $90 half-shaft is better than a $1k diff.

r160's are weak. People that convert subarus with r160's break the diffs quickly. Like a few days to a week. Apparently it's wheel hop that's the main killer.

If you want a reliable RWD, go with an r200 at least.

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 3:21 pm

Hardy is right-on. The R160 ISN'T very strong. If you can control wheel-hop, it'll last a little longer, but otherwise, it's pretty weak.

It's just like the RA gearset, it's not THAT strong, but SOME people can make it last.

I'm hoping to make mine last at least the 3 weeks I'll be RWD.

I don't intend to do lots of high-grip launches, but I do intend to kick it around a bit.

Just wait until you have the AWD setup ready and then blast through it.

Awesome Phil!

*sigh* I have no hope of keeping up with you anymore my friend. Strange, there was a time when it was you, trying to catch me. Ahhhh, the grasshopper becomes the master. At least you didn't eat me or anything though, I guess.

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 6:33 pm

I guess, technically, you still ran .08 seconds faster than I did

arent there a lot of people running around 300hp through R-160's in datsun 510s? makes me think that the weight of subies is the big killer for the diffs. legacy=3000ish, datsun =2100ish
R200's are out of rwd maximas and 300zx's right?

thanks phil, I guess i'll hit the kartboy forum and see if someone has an old stock bushing I can test fitment with

So what is the math fo figure out your final drive in RWD. I want to know a 4.44 would be. We got a few hanging around....

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Fri Apr 07, 2006 12:28 pm

1.1*current FD. If you are using a WRX transmission, that's the formula. A 3.9 turns into a 4.29.

If using a Legacy Turbo tranny, final drive stays the same.

Splinter · Post by **Splinter** » Tue Apr 18, 2006 9:44 pm

How much work is it to change out the center diff and pull the axels to go rwd?

Like Ive mentioned in other threads, the four wheel dyno is a looooong way away, and I'd like an option to do crude tuning locally after minor mods.

BAC5.2 · Post by **BAC5.2** » Tue Apr 18, 2006 10:35 pm

It's troublesome. You leave the front axles in. Plus, a RWD tune would be different than an AWD tune.

Truthfully, it's worth the drive for a good tune.
