I've hurt two standard R200's at the drags with a fair bit less than 700hp. They weren't fresh diffs so i couldn't say how good they are new but i'd be shelling out for an aftermarket centre and a complete freshen up of the bearings/seals etc.

Yep pual or other members mark34GTR 9.11Q/M and over 1000hp or theo 8s big HP

Even could try CRD many 1000hp cars there

Yep 1000 hp of 26 - True 700hp of 26/30 -2500ft lb of torque - this is my bone of contention -= wonder how the standard will stand up - is the tomei diff -rear -worth buying - how much stronger is it realy ??

by the sounds of it youve spent alot of cash on a monster engine, wouldnt the best option be to build a driveline to maximise your money spent on the engine? sorry if its not on topic just made sense in my head lol.

Yep your right- have PPG straight cut and NPC clutch - just want to know wether it is justified to spend the rest - sometimes you can spend money unessaserily just because some poelple just have to have name brands !?

i think i will need to up grade axles - diff - dun no?

  • 2 weeks later...
I know someone ran 9's with the stock diff and still stock axles on with his 8's

You will be fine. Change it only if it wears out/ need to :unsure:

Yeah we are running STD diff and axles...a good trick is to paint a thin white line on the axles....check them every now and then too see how much they have twisted. We will continue to run it like this till it breaks. I believe Mark Jacobsen was running a stock set-up too until just recently without any trouble.

    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
    • This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
