Cheers Craig, a 4.4 would be a good compromise for a streetable 1600 with a 5 -speed I guess.   A couple of weeks ago I missed out on a LSD clutch-pack R180 4.1 with lightened and balanced 1600 half shafts attached for $1000. By the yime I decided to buy it, it was gone. Aaarrrgh. I wonder if it would have been possible to use a 720 donor (open) diff to change the 4.1 LSD to a 4.4? i.e. Can you swap the crown and pinion between open and LSD R180s to get the desired ratio LSD?   Regards Rob P ----- Original Message ----- From: Craig Coffey To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 3:23 PM Subject: Re: LSDs Hey Rob, a R180 will do for most applications, a R200 LSD would be nessisary for serious turbo track work only, a R180 on loose surfaces can handle heaps, I've seen a 331 Chev worked to the max with Hoosiers and manual g/box on grippy clay go for 4 years with only oil change, welded though. I have friends with very quick curcuit cars n/a L motors and sr's useing r180's with no prob's. 720's come out with 4.4 and 4.6's, AFAIK, straight swap into a non cv head.           Regards Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob P To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 3:06 PM Subject: LSDs Anyway isnt a R200 a bit of overkill? do you plan on putting more than 450HP through it? I thought even a R180 could handle up to 400HP easy! I just bought an open R180 5.1 ratio diff for my 1600, yet to be installed. I figure it might be good for motorkhanas even though I'll forfeit top speed a bit.   BTW, I keep hearing rumours that a 720 4WD ute (front?) diff is LSD. Anyone know if this is true? Is it R180? What ratio? So many questions.     my 2 cents worth   Rob P ----- Original Message ----- From: E Smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 10:44 AM Subject: RE: S13 Lsds Ben, Dont bother with the S13 R200 as they are crap by comparison with clutch pack centres and are a lot harder to fit.    Cheers, Feral Errol [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW.datrats.com.au -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Ben C Sent: Thursday, 5 September 2002 10:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: S13 Lsds im gunan be putting c210 IRS in the bluey later on.....how difficult would it be fitting a s13/r32/33 R200 into the setup??? ----- Original Message ----- From: E Smith To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 7:01 AM Subject: RE: S13 Lsds The later S13 style viscous LSD uses a left side axle with 2 sets of slpines on it. One spline connect to the side gear and the second set of splines to the viscous clutch pack. The Viscous clutch pack is only approximately 12 mm thick and wea out very quickly with any decent torque put through them. Also the make them work you must use the axles that came with the centre. Also there are two spline distances on the left axle depending on model. All to much trouble. I also looked at changing the later viscous diffs to early clutch pack, but this is also a pain due to crown wheel offset distances being different.  Cheers, Feral Errol [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW.datrats.com.au --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
