Porkie has launched his a few times, Doug Stirling has been "testing" his too.

Porkie has 605 odd bhp, Doug 568bhp. Mine had 470 bhp - all working fine (apart from my engine, which is now dead!)

Sounds like i will have to go for one of these later in the year. Just got Sib's mullet spec rear diff and think i have a thickwall plated front coming, so my semi straight cut box might become the weak link.

its a semi straight cut box, on the reciept i got with it its down as 909 gears but looks similar to my old osborne box. Never had any problems with it on my old engine but looking to upgrade later this year in prep for a big turbo 500+ set up next year.

Nope Marco it not dogleg first, i have my old osborne box partly stripped justnow and i took a couple of teeth of of 3rd. The actual teeth arent alot bigger but they are semi straightcut and a harder metal, the box i have in just now is also semi straight cut but the teeth are slightly larger than standard. Plan is to fix the brocken box and sell both it and my good box then get a mullet asap. The box i have in justnow was built by atford motorsport, with uprated 909 gears and uprated vc.

if you have bought Si's rear diff then that has got uprated planet gears and a uprated VC to 120Nm

hi jonny

well they are not cheap but everything is brand new casing/unit/cwp/plated/or vc , ratios range from 3.62 to 5.2



nelia

i think 90Nm is too much on tarmac car /road car 60Nm is enough

might push on abit with a 90NMm ok on gravel car no probs as you needs as much as you can on the loose

you can pick them up second hand for about 2.5k but most of them have either 4.1 or 4.4

Default bolt the vc .

Hi. I tryed too get some answhere in the Norwegian Ford forum. but
looks like I have too try it here.

I have been looking for a cheap way too upgrade my vc in a 4x4 mt75
box.
the car is for fun driving in the winter and on ice water.

I heard that some have bolted theyr vc with steel bolts. and this menas it does not slip anything.

totale lock of the center diff.


Now. what will happen. what is bad/ good.

effect.

whant a 100% 4x4 drive. not part time.

if the stock vc is having 30 or 40nm of this fluid.

when this temperature get too 120degress. it lock.

and what will make the 60nm better.

only as it is shorter time too lock?

when driving normale. with either 30 or 60nm vc

the car will feel the same?

If I bolt my vc too 100% lock.

I still have the 34/66split??

as I read the epletic stuff did the split torque.

the center diffrential for normale driving.

when the front wheel travel longer distance then the rear wheels
when turning .

is it the normale vc with 30nm that cope for this diffrents??


thanks
