lata, theyre talking about the turbo diff there, but i blew a diff on my n/a w/ an exhaust and intake.



all it takes is a hard launch, the right tires and a good clutch.



everything is relative to the driver, hell demetrios has a 9-second alcohol burning fd with a stock trans and diff.

I can only assume that by "stock" they are hinting at N/A

Lata,



your question, as broad as it is, relates to all of the things everyone has been trying to explain. The N/A lsd (from what I gather) is only as good as the rest of the SUPPORTING parts such as well, the driveline. Transmission, Clutch, Flywheel, Shaft, Halfshafts, blah blah blah. Your question "how much HP can N/A diff take? 90 GXL" is a highly talked about topic. The fact of the matter is that most people dont even bother with using the stock Diff. They upgrade to the turbo diff that can handle the power they are looking for. Maybe not in a Chevy 350, or LS1 or whatever but you get the idea. So instead of getting on the defensive because your question was not answered the way you wanted it, maybe consider asking differently. Maybe something like "I have this, this, this, and this. But I ALSO have a N/A diff. How much do you think this thing can handle? Should I upgrade or would I be safe AS LONG as I dont hop the tires and drive the car like its a race car"



I am also using an N/A diff, but I have a turbo motor and all the juicy things that go along with it. I dont plan on driving the car as if it is a race car because I do not have it built to that spec yet. I will eventually find a Turbo II diff and half axles but thats something for future mods. I hope you consider re-phrasing your question next time instead of attempting taking on the minds of these guys/(gals?) on here (who DO know what they are talking about.) They have helped me out in every question I have asked so far anyways...



-Mr B.

Mr. B, Dont worry about *it*. nor should anyone on this forum. I realized the mistake I made. I posted on a forum in hopes that the thread i was looking for was here. But as I stated before, I remembered where it was. The posts were all on the section for non-rotor swaps into FC. Thus, people without the experience in that section, well, frankly don't know and why should they care about it? I bet over half of this forum dont know what a W201 is, is not a bad thing, but rather a misplaced question if i were to ask anything about it here. Which in turns was my question. Misplaced.

why would somebody come onto a website with a domain like nopistons.com and ask questions that only help his V8 conversion?

Man, you're a DICK! lol but, I like that



I agree with you 100%. What does it matter to know or not know what a "W201" is if all WE care about is the 13b and variants? Yes, I admit you can find me snooping around a crate 604 (do you know what that is?) V8 race car motor on the weekends at the dirt track. but thats a completely different setting all together. The fact of the matter is YOU came to US asking about a V8 setup that while is not uncommon in the FC chassis I will admit, but then when people tried asking about what you planned on doing, YOU took the offensive and thats not cool. All they were doing was trying to give advice without knowing anything really about your plans other than you have an N/A diff. But I think this thread is about done, there is no need in even dragging it out into some he said she said bullshit.
